The Autumn Defense – Once Around (Yep Roc)
Admittedly, I really don’t like Wilco. But after listening to Once Around, it may just be Jeff Tweedy’s songwriting I can’t get into.
Girl Talk – All Day (Illegal Art)
Free download of entire album available here
Gross Relations – “Fuzzy Timelines,” b/w “You Don’t Know Me,” (GR)
The Soft Province – “I See Two Eyes,” EP (Three Ring)
New side project from Jace Lasek, producer and co-founder of The Besnard Lakes.
Fang Island – Fang Island (Sargeant House)
Weird but enjoyable cross between Titus Andronicus and Andrew W.K..
Tyvek – Nothing Fits (In The Red)
Screaming Females – Castle Talk (Don Giovanni)
While I inevitably give any Alternative Tentacles band a chance, I am not much of a fan of 16 Horsepower, but this is my favorite song that they do.
Heaven & Hell – Neon Nights (Eagle)
Dio-led Black Sabbath‘s last live recording (probably) from last year’s Wacken Festival. I never pass up the chance to hear the singing of RJD.
Peripherique Est – Demos Vol. 2 (Rob’s House)
Punk straight outta Belgium. You’ve never heard French lyrics sung like this.
Solvents – Forgive Yr Blood (Yep Roc)
