The Mountain Goats - Transcendental Youth
“Transcendental Youth” is The Mountain Goats’ second album for Merge and their idontknowhowmanieth in total. And despite being overproductive, John Darnielle has yet to release a bad album.
The Sword - Apocryphon
The Sword is an often overlooked band when it comes to the retro revival that’s going on.
Roll The Tanks - Roll The Tanks EP
LA’s Roll The Tanks waste no time and get right down to business with opener “Toeing The Line”… good opening, better bridge and a chorus with arena ambitions.
Tweak Bird - Undercover Crops
- by Tom Dumarey
Bloc Party – Four
When Bloc Party decided to take a long nap back in 2008, Kele Okereke went solo and released “The Boxer”.
Franz Nicolay - Do The Struggle
After having spent time in the World/Inferno Friendship Society and The Hold Steady among others, multi-instrumentalist Franz Nicolay is going at it solo again with “Do The Struggle”.
Grabass Charlestons - Dale & The Careeners
The Grabass Charlestons are back with a new full-length and twelve years into their existence, they could very well have written their best batch of songs to date.
The Vaccines
You know how some bands blow up right after they release their first album? Well, The Vaccines already were the talk of the town before they even dropped their debut.
Ambassador Gun - Golden Eagle
Nothing like a grindcore album to get you going again.
Frank Turner
The phenomenon that is Frank Turner is everywhere these days... Wembley, Conan and of course, The Fest.
