black swan lane – dead souls collide
Atlanta, GA’s Black Swan Lane returns with their latest album dead souls collide. Their 11th album is everything we’ve come to expect from the band. Also, somewhat unusually, It is the 2nd album from the band released in 2023. I’ve been listening to the album for a...
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...

Lana Del Rey – Honeymoon
I recently finished Kim Gordon's memoir detailing her time in Sonic Youth along with the intimate details of her breakup with husband (and fellow Sonic Youth member), Thurston Moore. I mostly enjoyed the book, but I had to laugh - she spent a few sentences bashing...
Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz
I honestly never thought I'd ever review - much less listen to - a record by Miley Cyrus of Hannah Montana fame. In fact, the fake hipster and indie elitist inside of me still can't quite come to terms with this turn of events. At any rate - long story short: TV / pop...
Mercury Rev – Goddess On A Hiway
Attack of the Killer Track! is a series that explores tracks from artists from a variety of genres. Some of the tracks were singles, some of them were obscure b-sides or long forgotten album tracks. One thing is certain – all of them are killer tracks. The September...
Motörhead – Bad Magic
There's really only one band in my mind that has successfully bridged the gap between punk and heavy metal. Of course I'm talking about Justin Timberlake's favorite band, Motörhead. Formed in the wake of Lemmy Kilmister's ouster from space rockers Hawkwind, the band...

The Red-Sided Garter Snakes – Endless Sea
The Chameleons out of Manchester, UK have long been 1 of my favorite post punk groups (that strange music created in the aftermath of the 1st wave of punk). Kind of a loaded statement, but I'll make myself clear - when I'm talking about The Chameleons I am including...

The Libertines – Gunga Din
I kind of missed out on The Libertines the 1st time around, 13 years ago or so. An English version of The Strokes the US press seemed to ramble on about (or so I believed at the time). The band was led by Pete Doherty and Carl Barât, but it seemed like the press...
Repeater – self titled
Long Beach, California's Repeater have released a steady stream of albums and extended plays since the mid 00's. Formed by Steve Krolikowski and Rob Wallace, who had played together in The Main Frame, Repeater took that band's darkwave aesthetic and added in elements...

The Chimpz – EP
Think of the term rap-rock and you might be inundated by bad visions of late 90's / early 00's radio friendly bands that drove the movement into the ground. For me, I think of the early 90's records by Faith No More and Rage Against the Machine. Angry and melodic,...
