CJ Ramone &bull; <i>The Holy Spell…</i>

CJ Ramone • The Holy Spell…

Once a Ramone always a Ramone, one supposes, but this is closer to Southern California chug-core than gritty Queens punk. Nonetheless, a fun time.

Teenage Bottlerocket &bull; <i>Stealing The Covers</i>

Teenage Bottlerocket • Stealing The Covers

It’s all in the name… fast and fuzzy blow-up-in-your-face pop punk. With an attitude. These songs are all covers, but they’re from unknown/unsigned bands, so point to you, Teenage Bottlerocket.

Spin Doctors &bull; <i>Face Full Of Cake</i>

Spin Doctors • Face Full Of Cake

No denying this band exists in a dual space of Gen X ridicule and genuine nostalgia. The new album is filled with the same sunny indie-rock wink-and-grin disposition that rightfully earned them the title, broadcasting into/from the airwaves of 1994.

BRONCHO &bull; <i>Natural Pleasure</i>

BRONCHO • Natural Pleasure

One final challenge awaits: swim through the Reservoir of Bliss, filled with honey, liquid moonlight, and endorphins, then dance in slow motion across the infra-disco, as BRONCHO's underwater guitar syrup and whispered falsetto choruses are playing.
