The Record Company &bull; <i>Play Loud</i>

The Record Company • Play Loud

Deep-fried riffs, some well-placed cowbell, and guitars up front in the spotlight make for a heaping slab of that delicious Southern Boogie. There’s not a whole lot of new going on here, but it sure is ready to party.

Hearty Har &bull; <i>Radio Astro</i>

Hearty Har • Radio Astro

Rock and roll is absent from the charts, and you’d hardly know there is a serious revival going on, this slab of shimmering paisley from the Fogerty kids being a prime example. Get your riffs, hooks, choruses, and more right here.

Pom Pom Squad &bull; <i>Death of a Cheerleader</i>

Pom Pom Squad • Death of a Cheerleader

A solid debut album, with a wide range of energies and emotions, filled with swirling guitars, moments of unabashed vulnerability, and sheer screeching unhinged psychopathy.
