Metallica – 72 Seasons
Earlier this year, the new Metallica album was released. It coincided with a cross Pennsylvania trip that I took. The Philadelphia suburbs to Punxsutawney to the Pittsburgh suburbs to Erie and back to Philadelphia. I must’ve listened to 72 Seasons a dozen times or...
Foo Fighters – But Here We Are
Not so long ago I lost someone important to me each year. Suicide, overdose, old age, freak medical happenstance – the hits kept coming. Each death impacted me differently, but I sought solace in music each time it happened. Think 3rd by Big Star. Closer by Joy...

Paul Draper – EP One
When I think of the mid to late 90's era of Britpop, I gravitate towards a select few bands. Sure, I love Oasis, Blur, and Pulp. But my absolute favorite bands from the scene were the ones that were just a bit more slightly off kilter. Suede, Strangelove, My Life...
The Monkees – Good Times
It goes without saying that I am one of those people that considers himself a Monkees fanatic. I have every album in various deluxe editions that have been released over the years. On lesser albums I've sifted through the filler to find the gems (there are not too...

Sonny Lanegan – Coma
I've long been a fan of the work of Sonny Lanegan, based out of Los Angeles, CA. From solo instrumental soundscapes to industrial noise with his various groups, there has always been a melodic hook to pull me in. Sonny's new solo EP Coma arrives almost 3 years after...
Pet Shop Boys – Super
When we last heard from the Pet Shop Boys, we were treated to an electronic masterpiece in the form of Electric. It is hard to believe that almost 3 years has elapsed since that masterpiece of an album. Super once again finds Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe working with...

Iggy Pop – Post Pop Depression
If you had told me late last year that 2016 would herald the coming of masterpiece albums by David Bowie and Iggy Pop, I probably would have been a bit skeptical. And yet, here we are. January brought us a Bowie album that has made my all time favorites list. I...

Nutopians – What Does The Future Sound Like?
We last heard from the Nutopians in early to mid 2015 with the release of their EP, Time. Musically indebted to the post-punk scene of Manchester in the early 80's, it struck a chord with me that has remained. I felt that the duo's debut album would be stunning, and -...

Death Threat Cassette – Dial M for Masham
About 3 years ago or so I was sent the debut album by Death Threat Cassette, a 1 man band based out of North Yorkshire, England. I was instantly blown away by the originality on display - a perfect meshing of violence & beauty, 90's inspired yet modern. It was one...
