"Trixies" is a fascinating lost treasure, a re-recording of songs written by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook in 1974
“Hen’s Teeth” is a self-described “sibling album” to it’s predecessor, “Light Verse,” it was recorded during the same sessions for that album on 2024. The songs on the new one are darker but no less profound.
“Prizefighter” pushes at the boundaries of the band’s past material, they’ve mellowed and show the maturity that can inspire a longer musical life
“What a Time to be Alive” is a powerful statement by a band just now realizing their potential for moving roots rock.
“Singin to an Empty Chair” perfectly mixes their fuzzed out indie rock with their Americana songs.
On his new album “Labor of Love,” he turns off the amp to play a powerful set of original acoustic blues
On her new protest album “Worlds Gone Wrong” she doesn’t offer answers to the troubles she’s singing about but let’s us know that we are not alone in our outrage
“The Dreamin’ Kind” is a slight detour for the folk-rock troubadour who channels his love of rock and roll with a more garage rock sound.
"AVTT/PTTN" finds both acts stepping out of their comfort zones to merge two seemingly disparate musical worlds into a unique and compelling third entity.
"Through This Fire Across From Peter Balkan" is a rock opera about a shipwreck and the men who survive on an deserted island.
“Everybody Scream” is a raw, visceral and cathartic masterpiece.
"Returning to Myself” is a way of getting back to the relatively intimate nature of her music.
Helen Ballentine has released her second album under the name that evokes something altogether different than the ghostly, ambient soundscapes she creates on “And Your Song is Like a Circle.”
"Steppin' Out" is their 20th album and features, for the first time, a female lead singer, D. D.Bastos, who adds new life to their infectious spirit.
The former Virginia Beach high school English teacher's new release is a concept album called "Angels and Other Magical Creatures" and it's his best one yet
On his third studio album “Hard Road” he finds a balance between traditional blues and more contemporary styles without sacrificing his original rootsy integrity.
“Bleeds” brilliantly follows up the twin successes they have had with their last album in 2023 and bandmate M.J. Lenderman’s solo release last year
“I Believe in You My Honeydew” shows that, with imaginative turns of phrases and catchy musical hooks, substantial, complicated themes can be delivered in a meaningful and understandable way.
“Feels Like Home” is a deeply personal collection of songs, some of which have been years in the making.
“Straight Line Was a Lie” is influenced by a diagnosis of an autoimmune disorder that lead singer Liz Stokes received recently and the medication-influenced change in her brain chemistry that affected her ability to write songs
