The Reverend Horton Heat – Ace of Spades – Music Stream June 26, 2024 The Reverend’s weaker vocals pale next to Lemmy’s crusty, caustic, thrum. The music is also an angel hair faster than the original.
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.
Black Brunswicker – The Frolic – Music Stream June 2, 2024 Plenty folky and ambient, acoustic guitars fingerpicked slowly with swirly background effects.
Mötley CrĂĽe – Dogs of War – Music Stream May 28, 2024 “Dogs of War,” the band’s first release since canning Mick Mars, finds the fellows, as ever, trying to keep up with the times.
Brendan James – Hold Me Back Down – Music Stream April 4, 2024 There is a Radiohead vibe here, full of melodrama, but the sounds: synths, guitar, cymbals, and simulated horns are strangely soothing, but also evocative…
Hollow Stars – Cages – Music Stream April 2, 2024 Beginning bassline, big, fat, fuzzy chords, and quiet/loud/quiet dynamics. Kinda like Veruca Salt got caught in a “Gigantic” blender.
Dan from Downingtown – Let You Go – Music Stream March 26, 2024 Dan from Downingtown’s “Let You Go” is a torch song for the new age.
