Jane’s Addiction – Imminent Redemption – Music Stream

August 25, 2024

“Imminent Redemption” wants to be good, and almost is, but the amount of chaos in the song is undermining. The video is a blending of old and new footage.

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.

Holy Roller Baby – Speaking In Tongues – Music Stream

July 17, 2024

Jared Mullins’ classic rock and look remind me of J. Roddy Walston and the Business. You can also throw Bob Seger in there for the voice.

Bon Jovi – Living Proof – Music Stream

July 7, 2024

“Living Proof” is a good example of a dinosaur somehow transcending the times and making it work.

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 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.
