Age Of Unreason (CD)
Bad Religion
Punk legends Bad Religion take on the Trump administration with no holds barred on their newest release, Age of Unreason . Greg Gaffin's reassuringly smart and biting lyrics address immigration, fascism, paranoia and history in these hard, fast and catchy songs that stick to the band's classic sound. “Chaos From Within” highlights the band's characteristic harmonies and “My Sanity” may be sweetly melodic, but everything is sped along by the madcap drums. “Big Black Dog” stands out for its slower, more classic rock guitar and “Candidate” for its punk-ballad sound and satisfying guitar solos.
Cold World [Clear w/ Black Splatter Vinyl] (LP)
Death Lens
Death Lens delivers scorching modern punk on Cold World . The songs tackle the topics of social injustice and global turmoil, and how we react to the seemingly nonstop flow of bad behavior and bad news. Listening to Cold World is an exhilarating experience that speeds by and will leave you aching for more. Grounded and gritty, the album moves from fierce and uncompromising to alienated and abrasive. This is the real deal.
In The Half Light (CD)
Swim Surreal
Pulling pages out of old playbooks and inserting them into their own, Swim Surreal and Zero 7 combine the best elements of disco, '70s smooth soul and, '80s yacht rock grooves, and shined it up into a glossy sheen of psychedelic neo-soul. While earlier tracks like "Don't Call It Love" and "Back To Earth" will have you up and groovin', the album noticeably downshifts with "Masquerade," and ends in a milder, more heartfelt mood. Don't let In The Half Light miss you while the weather is still warm.
Crimes [Bubblegum Pink & Baby Blue Vinyl] (LP)
The Blood Brothers
The mad masterpiece that is The Blood Brothers' Crimes album is getting a 20th-anniversary reissue. The band's intense blend of post-hardcore, post-punk, a bit of funk, and a lot of frenzied weirdness still sounds utterly arresting, unlike anything else out there. Out on bubblegum pink and baby blue vinyl, it's a limited release that captures the full-throttle pleasures of the band's live shows. An exhilarating, raucous, and unpredictable thrill ride of an album.

Two Way Monologue [White Vinyl] (LP)
Sondre Lerche
With swoon-worthy retro vibes and impossible-not-to-love melodies, Sondre Lerche's Two Way Monologue is a modern classic. Now available on 20th Anniversary Edition white vinyl, this is the album's first vinyl repress in a decade. Each song is excellent, with poignant and affecting lyrics and arrangements that feel like they could've come straight out of the suave 1960s. This new version features four previously unreleased bonus tracks — a huge gift for fans looking to rediscover this eminently talented artist.
Sonido Cosmico (CD)
Hermanos Gutiérrez
The Ecuadorian-Swiss duo Hermanos Gutiérrez have released their sixth studio album. Following on the success of their Western film soundtrack-inspired album, El Bueno y el Malo , the brothers offer dreamy instrumentals with Latin American psychedelic vibes on Sonido Cosmico . The Western twang still lingers, especially on “El Fantasma,” but elsewhere “Cumbia Lunar” is a lush psych gem, while the title track is an intriguing swirl of melodies and slowly building percussion.
No Obligation (CD)
The Linda Lindas
The Linda Lindas prove once again that they are one of the coolest, most rock 'n' roll bands in music today. On No Obligation , the band serves up scathing punk and irresistible power pop, informed by riot grrrl, indie rock, new wave, post-punk, and garage. The Linda Lindas set the tone right out the gate with the title track, a blistering basement punk jam, before somehow seamlessly shifting to a gorgeous yet gritty, droll and catchy mode via "All in My Head." As the album progresses, the energy never stops, with the band joyfully experimenting (and succeeding) with genre after genre. No Obligation is a thoroughly enjoyable, full-speed-ahead odyssey through underground rock 'n' roll.
Pratts & Pain (CD)
Royel Otis
Royel Otis makes the kind of beguiling indie rock that just might change your life. Pratts & Pain , the debut studio album from the Australian duo, packs in hit after hit, the band moving effortlessly from power pop to psych-influenced, catchy-as-hell tracks that veer from the melancholic to the ebullient. Listening to this album will remind you of the power of music and its ability to transform your mood, get you hooked on a song that feels like it's the missing piece of your soul, or just keep you obsessively hitting "rewind." Yep, Pratts & Pain is that good. Don't sleep on one of the year's freshest, most intriguing records.

Octoberland (CD)
The Armoires
The bright, airy pop-laced rock of Burbank indie pop-rockers The Armoires takes you away to Octoberland . Band and Big Stir label founders Christina Bulbenko & Rex Broome are in lockstep, blending accessible rock hooks with a carefree tone, radiant harmonies and playful melodies. Octoberland’s joyful mood is lifted further by the viola of Bulbenko’s daughter Larysa, and the rhythm section of bassist Clifford Ulrich and drummer John Borack adds a Cure-like backbone to the songs that keep the music moving all the way through the album.
The Art Of Letting Go (CD)
Myles Kennedy
Dynamic rocker Myles Kennedy has returned with his third solo album, The Art of Letting Go . Stepping away from his frontman duties with Alter Bridge and Slash, Kennedy ticks the distortion up a few notches, with a distinctly heavier sound than 2021’s Ides of March , while keeping the melody and soaring vocals he is known best for intact.
Cutouts (CD)
The Smile
The latest outing from The Smile will get under your skin. Cutouts is haunting and compelling, with some melodic flourishes and vocal lines that'll leave you breathless. The songs simmer with the pent-up intensity that bubbles beneath the surface of this enjoyably unpredictable listen. At times the vibe is moody, atmospheric, devastatingly beautiful. At others, the band leans into motorik, tightly-wound melodies and percussion that'll sweep listeners up into a frenetic, dynamic mirror of contemporary 24/7 culture. The members of The Smile all have impeccable track records for creating affecting, unforgettable songs and Cutouts ranks among their best.
Frog In Boiling Water (CD)
DIIV
DIIV's Frog In Boiling Water is sludgy, tense, and hypnotic. The band is marinating in shoegaze here, with downbeat, hushed vocals and insistent guitars. It's one of their best, most intriguing releases to date, a listening experience that's vaguely disquieting, darkly beautiful, and emotionally gripping. A moody, melancholic new direction for the band that gets more intriguing with each spin.
