On what is already their fifth full-length, Cloud Nothings keep doing what they have been doing all along. Crank out grunge-laced indie rock tunes.

Originally started as a one-man project by guitarist/vocalist Caleb Cordes, Sinai Vessel has since evolved into a full-fledged band who have just released their second full-length, “Brokenlegged”.

After releasing three albums between 2009 and 2013, things became quiet around Deaf Havana.

On their third album, Vancouver’s Japandroids have taken the scrappy sound from their previous releases and gave it an upgrade. Now it’s as huge as the crowd at a Trump rally. It’s true.

If garage-y punk rock is your thing, you should probably do yourself a favor and check out Switzerland’s Capital Youth.

Even though Open City has already been a band for two years and have played a bunch of shows in that time, they had yet to put out any music.

With Trump in the Oval Office, I think it’s fair to say the world has never needed a new Iron Reagan album more than right now.
