Freak Slug, the nom de plume of Manchester indie rocker Xenya Genovese follows up her 2024 debut with her second full-length album, Amulet .

Legacy (CD)

Five Finger Death Punch

Five Finger Death Punch are back, releasing their tenth studio album, Legacy . The opening title track sways between chugging riffs, arpeggios, and tough-guy proclamations of "I'm a motherfucking lion, ain't concerned with sheep." Their vigorously pro-military musical inspiration continues on "De Oppressor Liber," the slogan of the US Special Forces. Legacy is just under 40 minutes of chrome, overpolished to a shiny sheen of modern metal. More

Get It Honest [Cream Vinyl] (LP)

The Revivalists

Sometimes you need to clap and yell, sometimes you need to groove, and sometimes you need to be still and take in the emotion of a song. The Revivalists make sure you do all three on their latest, Get It Honest . The NOLA balladeers occasionally veer away from their usual folksy sound into soul and R&B territory, horns and all. Songs like "Bad Bad Bad" has a Springsteen-ey gruff soul feel to it, while the album closer, "Lay It On Me," ends things with a subdued plea. More
