Standby – All For Nothing – Review

August 18, 2024

The novelty of teenagers producing quality music is part of the charm, but the fact that it is pretty good in a sea full of suck is the bigger headline.

Bodega – Our Brand Could Be Yr Life – Review

June 30, 2024

Hozie can write hooks that are immediately catchy. “Stain Gaze” features almost Dinosaur Jr.-level guitars. It’s like I’m listening to the Flaming Lips or something.

The Dandy Warhols – Rockmaker- Review

June 23, 2024

This record reeks of trying too hard. I wish the band would do more of what it’s actually good at: writing semi-psychedelic rock songs with hooks.

McGuigan – Wombnuke – Review

June 19, 2024

For a guy who’s just starting out, McGuigan trades in some pretty sophisticated sounds, or at least mostly tasteful ones.

The Jesus and Mary Chain – Glasgow Eyes – Review

June 12, 2024

The Jesus and Mary Chain’s first record in seven years, Glasgow Eyes, shows the band, as usual, mired in the nihilist muck, but evolving somewhat.

Nonverbal Expression – All Over You – Review

June 5, 2024

Though there is certainly some scuzzy, messy rock on All Over You, it’s melodic and poppy enough to appeal to most rock fans.

The Rocky Valentines/Starflyer 59 – The Rocky Valentines/Starflyer 59 Split – Review

January 24, 2024

It’s a familial venture, pop Jason Martin and son Charlie. For the former, it’s an orchestral reworking of previous songs, for the latter, its new ones.

White Reaper – Asking for a Ride – Review

October 3, 2023

Tony Esposito went to the Kurt Cobain School of Unintelligible Lyrics, but he does it in a pop punk sense. There are real guitars here, like shredding guitars.

Starflyer 59 – Vanity – Review

November 7, 2021

Vanity is Starflyer 59’s 16th full release, and it’s treading the same ground as the last four, except without a near-great tune like “Young in My Head.”

The Jesus and Mary Chain – Damage and Joy – Review

December 8, 2018

Damage and Joy combines the sneer and guitar barrage of the underrated, monochrome Munki with the somber acoustic trip of Stoned & Dethroned.
