First The Radio Dept. album in 6 years! The group’s second album, Pet Grief or 2010’s Clinging to a Scheme are musts for fans of the dreamy alternative sound (TRD is like the smoother, Swedish version of Stone Roses My Bloody Valentine Cocteau Twins), and the band’s 4th LP does not disappoint. Effervescent and breezy, synths…
Third studio album from Minneapolis The Replacements. Let It Be was originally recorded between August 1983 and February 1984, and was a move away from the hardcore punk sound of their previous albums.

Fifth studio album from Minneapolis The Replacements. Pleased To Meet Me was originally recorded in 1987 and featured a diverse mix of songs that was fed by frontman Paul Westerberg s freedom to experiment.

Third studio album from Dallas-Fort Worth singer songwriter Bryce Avary. The Rocket Summer began as a solo project for Avary that found him writing and producing songs entirely on his own, in addition to playing all instruments on the recordings. Avary carried this DIY ethos into the recording of Do You Feel, his major label debut, playing…
The song that made The Rolling Stones! Without Satisfaction the now legendary English rock band would have been just another band. The song, with its allusions to sexual frustration and anti-commercialism, took the Stones to the top of the charts in the US for the first time. The decidedly anti-establishment message provoked some controversy but…

The sound of Clement Dodd’s Studio One and Duke Reid’s Treasure Isle resonated strongly in a country full of first-generation British-born Jamaicans in Margaret Thatcher’s economically-stagnant England, yielding second-wave ska flag-bearers The Specials and a legion of similar bands in their wake, including Madness, The Beat and The Bodysnatchers. The Selecter, however, hold the distinction…
Shannon Wise & Max Shrager are The Shacks, and the young NYC duo presents a luring self-titled EP. Wise s charmingly whispery vocals gently sit on top of Shrager s stripped down, riff-riddled production (w Leon Michels s help on Orchids ), and the 7-tracker certainly shows the young band s unexpected fondness (Wise is…
