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...

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...
Smashing Pumpkins – Today

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,...
Sunstack Jones – Good This Time b/w This Can’t Keep Going On
Summertime anthems are quickly becoming a tradition with North England's Sunstack Jones. In 2013 the band released one of my favorite indie singles of that year called You Can Help Me Out. They bettered that in 2014 with a full album of anthems called Roam - Britpop...
