Free Radicals :: Outside the Comfort Zone
A dynamic collection of mostly-short funky jazz instrumentals, with a full horn section and a driving beat.
Wolf Alice :: Visions of a Life
Guitars, synths, great production, and pop hooks a-plenty.
Chicago Afrobeat Project :: What Goes Up
More modern Afrobeat, connected to the source via drummer Tony Allen. A wild collection of Chicago talents united for a smoothly entrancing session of shorter (for Afrobeat) songs.
Cherry :: Dumbness
An honest tribute to stupidity, full of hooks, snappy lyrics, and gorgeous choruses
METZ :: Strange Peace
The line between a riff and a throbbing structures of pitched rhythm is pretty thin, as these Canadians show. METZ is punishing without being abusive. A Steve Albini recording.
The Flamin' Groovies :: Fantastic Plastic
Cyril Jordan and Chris Wilson reunite to bring back the sound that made the Flamin’ Groovies famous 40 years ago with “Shake Some Action”. A solid return to form.
The Bronx :: (V)
Classic LA hardcore served up in a blaze. An aggressive release from an aggressive band.
Holiday Ghosts :: Holiday Ghosts
Garage rock like it’s meant to be, full of barely-controlled fuzz, raging vocals, warbling organs, and four-on-the-floor drums.
