LISTINGPlatinum-certified and twice GRAMMY-nominated Michigan rock powerhouse I Prevail are back with their third full length offering on Fearless Records. The band has established itself as the forerunners of the genre in the 21st century. The new record, once again produced by Tyler Smyth, features the sort of stadium-sized riffs that will rattle your teeth loose from your gums and unforgettable, supremely catchy melodies that will camp out in your brain for weeks at a time. The band also alternately mixes screamed vocals that sound as though they crawled from the depths of hell with soaring, emotional vocals and heartfelt, intimate lyrics that go so deep, they hit marrow. The end result is an album that resonates with the listener in the most personal way.
Grammy Award-winning band Phoenix returns with their next full length, Alpha Zulu, due out 11/4/2022.

Darker Still [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Clear with Red Smoke LP]
Vinyl: $31.98 Buy
In the kitchen of the Byron Bay home of Winston McCall stands a refrigerator,adorned on one side by a quote from Tom Waits: I want beautiful melodiestelling me terrible things.
This, the PARKWAY DRIVE vocalist says, is a pretty good summation of him-self. It holds true, too, as one of the guiding principles behind Darker Still, theseventh full-length album to be born of this picturesque and serene corner ofnorth-eastern NSW, Australia, and the defining musical statement to date fromone of modern metals most revered bands.
Darker Still, McCall says, is the vision he and his bandmates guitarists Jeff Ling andLuke Kilpatrick, bassist Jia OConnor and drummer Ben Gordon have held in theirminds eye since a misfit group of friends first convened in their parents basements andbackyards in 2003. The journey to reach this moment has seen Parkway evolve from metalunderdogs to festival-headlining behemoth, off the back of close to 20 gruelling years, sixcritically and commercially acclaimed studio albums (all of which achieving Gold status intheir home nation), three documentaries, one live album, and many, many thousands of shows.
While Darker Still remains irrefutably PARKWAY DRIVE, it finds the band sonically standing shoulder to shoulder with rock and metals greats Metallica, Pantera, Machine Head, Guns N Roses as much as it does their metalcore contemporaries. I wanted a classic guitar tone for this record,explains Ling, who credits much of his inspiration to the connection his riffs have with a crowd in a livesetting.
Emerging from the darkness of the past few years, this is the true face of PARKWAY DRIVE: redefined andresolute, focused in mind and defiant in spirit.
Live recording from the soundboard during the Alive II tour at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines, IA, on November 29, 1977. Features Let Me Go, Rock N Roll, Beth, and more performed by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss.

A pandemic, new wars in Europe, massive protests & riots, an attempted insurrection, Western democracy wavering, rising authoritarianism, wildfires and natural disasters and the destabilisation of the global order all informed Will Of The People. It has been a worrying and scary time for all of us as the Western empire and the natural world, which have cradled us for so long are genuinely threatened. This album is a personal navigation through those fears and preparation for what comes next.

Following his triumphant performances at the 2022 Coachella Music and Arts Festival, DannyElfman delivers Bigger.Messier., an ambitious double-album collection of remixed and reimagined tracks from his highly acclaimed Big Mess album. This sprawling, 23 track collection(available on 2 LP or 2 CD) features tracks reworked by some of the most groundbreaking andsubversive artists around today. Bigger.Messier. views the Grammy and Emmy Award-winningcomposers songs through the lens of luminaries from diverse sides of the music business,including Trent Reznor, Iggy Pop, Squarepusher, and Ghostemane. Elfman once again hasachieved a kind of artistic liberation on the record that had been eluding him for decades, andconnecting him to brand new audience. Born and raised in southern California, Elfman beganhis career as part of a surrealist, avant-garde musical theater troupe known as The MysticKnights of Oingo Boingo. The group would eventually morph into the critically acclaimed rockband Oingo Boingo, whose high-energy performances and genre-bending sound garneredthem a fanatically devoted cult following in the 1980s and 90s. Among the groups early fanswas fledgling director Tim Burton and Paul Reubens (aka Pee-wee Herman), who enlistedElfman to score their first feature film, Pee-wees Big Adventure. The collaboration would proveto be the start of a long and fruitful partnership for Elfman and Burton, with Elfman going on toscore a string of iconic Burton features like Batman, Beetlejuice, Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. To date, Elfman has scored more than 100 films.
Chaos in Bloom, arriving August 12th, 2022 via Warner Records. Marking the first album of their career to be produced by frontman John Rzeznik, the record finds the band at the top of their game and continuing to constantly evolve just as they have for nearly four decades together. Consisting of 10 tracks, Chaos in Bloom is an album of biting sarcasm, stadium-ready choruses, and the type of spear-sharp songwriting thats led them to becoming one of the most influential alternative rock groups of all time.
While Chaos in Bloom isnt necessarily an album borne out by the pandemic, many of the tracks reflect on all of the things in daily life that became amplified while everyone was isolated from one another and sequestered at home. Chaos in Bloom reminded us how special this whole thing is and to cherish the relationships that we have together, says Rzeznik about the album. Where weve been, and where were going. Oscillating from personal reflections on the state of the world to societal commentaries, the songs on the album grapple with observations about our dystopian modernity while searching for optimism and pushing for a more empathetic world. Ive been trying to have a relationship with the bigger picture, adds bassist and songwriter Robby Takac, and refining happiness and what it means from that perspective.
To record the album, Rzeznik and Takac retreated to Dreamland Studios just outside Woodstock, New York during the pandemic. An environment as remote as it is rich with historic rock music roots, the location proved to be the perfect setting for clearing the noise and creating such a record, which carries a true live quality that the band captured by blending vintage instruments and gear with new-age recording processes and techniques.
The Interrupters
In The Wild [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Opaque Aqua Blue LP]
Vinyl: $25.98 Buy
After three studio albums and over a decade deep into the music game, THE INTERRUPTERS deliver their new album, In The Wild. This 14-track opus is the real deal; its a story of survival, a story of resilience, by a band being bold and rejecting the easy impulses of simply repeating whats worked before. Together during lockdown, Aimee Interrupter, partner and guitarist Kevin Bivona, and his younger twin brothers, Jesse (drums) and Justin (bass), decided to put idle hands to work. After building a home studio in their garage together, Kevin stepped up and took charge of production duties to become the accountable one this time around. The record took shape in an unforced and organic fashion, and the recording process was evidently a fun one, which is reflected in the sound of the album, gliding across a spectrum of breathless punk rock, doo-wop, gospel, dancehall, and the bands customary nods to the lineage of two-tone. Its further evidenced in the uplifting spirit and the glittering rollcall of guests (Tim Armstrong, Rhoda Dakar, Hepcat, The Skints) involved too. Thanks to the cocoon of the intimate environment theyd built and relaxed working practices, the results made for the most personal Interrupters album to date, as well as being the one all four feel most connected to.
The follow-up to their 2018 breakthrough album, Fight The Good Fight, which spawned multiple singles including Shes Kerosene, with over 50 Million streams to date. This smash-hit sent the band to the top of the radio charts and across the globe, playing live with everyone from Dropkick Murphys to Green Day. It was Spring 2020 as they were headed out on an 8-week Hella Mega stadium tour in support of Green Day, Weezer, and Fall Out Boy, when like the rest of the world, the bands plans went kaput. The forced time at home gave them a period of much-needed rest, followed by an injection of creative energy that led the band to write over 80 songs, curate a live album and documentary film about their lives and their first trip to Japan. THE INTERRUPTERS will be back on the road starting this Spring, co- heading with Flogging Molly and touring through the remainder of 2022 and beyond.

From the first bass note within the driving drum beat you can tell something is different about the new record from Nikki Lane. The backbeat feels like a gutsy strut while the lead guitar feels like a revved up engine shifting gears. Denim & Diamonds comes out firing, spit shining the cowboy boots and tossing on a jean jacket. Produced by Joshua Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Denim & Diamonds has the Highway Queen embracing a more rock-oriented sound while still maintaining the heartfelt outlaw country sound she has developed across her previous three releases. Denim & Diamonds still has the fuck-off flare of which Nikki has come to be known. Her stylized, story-telling lyrics are all there as well as her catchy country hooks. The outlaw country sound is now balanced out with a gritty guitar and a machine gun snare that echoes the sound of 70s rock. Nikki Lane has made a record that sounds new and old. Familiar and surprising. She embraces where she has come from, (First High, Born Tough) the lessons learned along the way, (Good Enough, Try Harder) all while doing things her way, (Denim & Diamonds, Black Widow).
Motorhead
Iron Fist: 40th Anniversary Edition [Limited Edition Black & Blue Swirl LP]
Vinyl: $34.98 Buy
Iron Fist is repositioned as a vital snapshot of Motrhead at a crucial period when they found themselves caught in the tornado ignited by success and, in true Motrhead style, careered into their next phase at such velocity it transcended logic or reason to become this trios final kamikaze joyride. Forty years later, with fall-out long dissipated and a proper mastering job that avoided it at the time, Iron Fist sounds like prime Motrhead with the gloves and seat-belts off. For sheer velocity, it could be fastest of them all, the ferocious title track earning such an accolade in Kerrang! in its tribute spread to Lemmy after he passed away. By 1982, punk had been and gone, the new wave of heavy metal sounded squeaky and cliched next to its grubby godfathers and, while still trouncing all opposition, Motrhead retained that essential ability to laugh at everything, including themselves as they made lightning raids on every sense and orifice with everything cranked to overload. This is the limited edition black & blue swirl vinyl single LP of the album
Over the span of two decades, M83 mastermind Anthony Gonzalez has firmly established himself as an artist whose work transcends mere escapism in favor of full-on worldbuilding. Whether it be via his celebrated studio albums, film soundtracks, or compositions for stage productions, Gonzalez has proven that nothing surpasses his ability to perfectly encapsulate a specific time, emotion, or sense of place.
Now with Fantasy, the Platinum selling, GRAMMY nominated artist returns with his most personal album to date. Featuring long-time collaborator Justin Meldal-Johnsen and Joe Berry, M83s touring keyboardist and sax player, the album was born out of extended jam sessions that lasted nearly a year. The result is an exuberant, live-sounding record where trademark M83 goosebump moments abound.

Created between Palm Springs, California and Hilo, Hawai'i, V is the first double album from the Hawaiian-New Zealand singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Ruban Nielson's Unknown Mortal Orchestra band. Designed to play as one continuous movement and road-tested on dry California freeways, V is the definitive Unknown Mortal Orchestra car record. It's also the fifth full-length album Ruban has released in twelve years. Across fourteen sunbleached songs - written solo or with his brother Kody - Ruban draws from the rich traditions of West Coast AOR, yacht rock, weirdo pop and Hawaiian Hapa-haole music. Over a laidback blend of singalong anthems and cinematic instrumentals, he evokes blue skies, afternoons spent lounging by hotel swimming pools and the alluring darkness that lurks below perfect, pristine surfaces. It's a duality expressed in the dilapidated sunset blues and the saltcorroded soul Ruban explores through tracks like 'Layla' and 'Nadja. ' During the pandemic's early days, Ruban reunited with Kody at a cousin's wedding in Hawai'i. With assistance from their father, Chris Nielson (saxophone/flute) and longstanding Unknown Mortal Orchestra member Jake Portrait, they brought everything Ruban had been thinking about together. The result was V, due for release on March 3, 2023, through Jagjaguwar. When they talked about records that moved them in that spine-shivering manner, Ruban started thinking about the 70s AM radio rock and 80s pop songs that had lurked on the edge of his subconscious mind for most of his life. He wanted to write his version of records like that, leading to the two glorious uptempo singles Unknown Mortal Orchestra released in 2021, 'Weekend Run' and 'That Life'. However, the golden good times never last forever. Not long after, health issues began to plague his extended family. Putting his recordings aside, he helped his mother and his uncle move home from New Zealand and Portland to Hawai'i, and began dividing his time between Hawai'i and Palm Springs. During this period he reconnected with his relatives, reassessed his past, and started to look at things with fresh eyes. Hawai'i brought back memories of the darker side of his parents' lifestyle as entertainers. On those trips, he heard those classic AM radio rock records everywhere. They were inextricably intertwined with the palm trees, swimming pools, and glamorized hedonism he'd internalized from his childhood. There's a type of music in Hawai'i called Hapa-haole (Half white). You can hear it expressed in signature Unknown Mortal Orchestra style through the humid guitar-led atmosphere of V's penultimate song, 'I Killed Captain Cook'. Although the songs are presented in a traditional Hawaiian manner, they're mostly sung in English. Having been influenced by Hawaiian music since Unknown Mortal Orchestra's first album, Ruban saw a space for himself within the tradition. When he reflected on his success, he realised he had the responsibility and platform to represent Hapa-haole music on the global stage.
Her Loss is a collaborative studio album by Drake and 21 Savage. It was released on November 4, 2022 throughOVO Sound/Republic Records and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart.
After spending the past 20 years in the studio, on concert stages all over the world and at the literal top of the charts, All-American Rejects co-founder Tyson Ritter didnt start Now More Than Ever in 2018 with the expectation it would turn into a real band but a real band is very much what it has become. In tandem with veteran musicians/songwriters/producers Scott Chesak and Izzy Fontaine, Ritter has begun a meaningful and exciting new chapter in his music career with Now More Than Evers debut album Creatrix, which will be released March 17, 2023, by Thirty Tigers.
To hear Ritter tell it, All-American Rejects relationship with the traditional music industry was in many ways the reason he was eager to try something different: simply making music with friends for fun, without any preconceived notions about what would, could or should happen next. In other words, no constraints, no A&Rs, no deadlines and no mandate to sound like anyone or anything other than themselves.
The fact that Ritter and Chesak have known each other for so long certainly helped jumpstart things, as the latter has been a multi-instrumentalist touring member of All-American Rejects since 2011. Chesak later segued into writing and producing for artists such as Weezer and Panic! At The Disco, a skill Ritter has long admired but had difficulty incorporating into his own creative process. As he began thinking about new music, he definitely knew he didnt want to write in the traditional sense with and for another artist in a studio. Scotty and I just got to talking and decided to write some tunes. It started that innocently.
We didnt have a name, or an idea of being a band, until probably a year after that, Chesak adds. We were kind of just writing for the purity of writing and trying to make something cool. Theres a huge folder of songs we made during that time that arent part of this project, but three or four of them showed us there was something cohesive there.
Having spent decades in the same musical scene, Ritter and Chesak were committed to a fresh approach when it came to the sound of their new work. We were kind of sick of guitar music, because we both come from the rock world, says Chesak, who handled bass, drums and keyboard duties during the sessions. So at first we made a rule: Fuck guitars. No guitars! Quickly they realized their beef wasnt with guitars per se, but rather the same old sound of the instrument. Enter Izzy Fontaine, who has worked closely behind the scenes with everyone from Taking Back Sunday and Glassjaw to Seal and Banks, and came up in the industry alongside many of the same bands as Ritter and Chesak.
Now More Than Ever shimmers with that spirit of freedom, its nine tracks gracefully surfing the peaks of the past four decades of pop and rock. These are the kinds of songs that used to be on the radio and certainly still should be today the ones that make you dance, shake your ass and forget about everything else for a while. The breathless electro-rock of D-E-A-D Together and the sultry power ballad Heart To Heart best embody that vibe, while horn players from Ozomatli add an instant dance party to Candle. The 80s synth-driven closer Never You started life as a Ritter acoustic song but was quickly transformed by Chesak and Fontaine into whats now the perfect soundtrack for a vintage slow dance prom scene.
To that end, Heels Up Head Over explores those themes with a tale about a werewolf and vampire getting married, while lyrical references to the ageless cool of Joan Jett and drunk, young romance make you feel right at home in Now More Than Evers company. This is a record where there was freedom in lyric, Ritter says. When youre on a major label for 15 years, you can succumb to trying to follow your last thing. That can seep into the music in a way thats so unconscious. The joy of this band is that its completely free of any oppressive overlords, ivory towers, approval processes or co-writes that have been manufactured, licked, stamped and thrown onto the assembly line.
Now More Than Ever is here to help make sure the pillars of pop and rock will never fall, and theyre prepared to go down believing. This is our little monolith, Ritter says. It might be six feet tall amongst giants, but its pure. And its truth for us. Its saccharine as fuck, and I love it.

Enemy of the World: Re-Recorded [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Orange w/ Brown Splatter LP]
New England rock band Four Year Strong have announced a re-recorded version of "Enemy of the World complete with an updated depiction of the album art. The album originally came out over 10 years ago and was a breakout record for the band. Now it sees new production and 4 extra b-sides. "We decided to re record EOTW first and foremost to be as cool as Taylor Swift, but secondly because we wanted to be able to repress the vinyl and offer it to fans that havent been able to get it since the record came out." says Alan Day. He continues "It was really interesting to revisit all of the songs down to every detail, getting to kind of relive it in a way. We recorded the drums with Will Putney (who worked on the original EOTW as a engineer), did the rest by ourselves at Dan's house, and then had Will work his magic on it and mix and master it. We had just worked with Will for the first time since 2010 on our new album Brain Pain, and figured it would be perfect to work with Will as he knows FYS old and new more than anyone. So give it a listen, come out to the tour, and party like its 2010 again."

A little over a decade ago Logic was sleeping on Big Lenbos basement couch in College Park, Maryland. Months later he would sign his first record deal and his life then changed forever. With his career taking off, Logic gave everything to his work. For years he did album after album, tour after tour, interview after interview. And it paid off - but at a severe cost to his mental health. Logic knew if he was going to continue his relationship with music, it would have to be on his own terms. Introducing College Park, Logics debut independent album. In College Park, Logic tells the story about a kid from Maryland who was tired of sleeping on couches and changed that the only way he knew how.
Andy Shaufs songs unfold like short fiction: theyre densely layered with colorful characters and a rich emotional depth. On his new studio album Norm, Andy Shaufs songwriting veers decidedly more oblique, hinting at sinister happenings and dark motivations. The result: an intoxicating collection of mellifluous melodies and beguiling lyrics. Levitating, synth-laden atmospherics drive Shaufs storytelling on Norm, mixed by Neal Pogue (Tyler, the Creator).
In 2016, The Party catapulted Andy Shauf to indie notoriety, followed by 2020s The Neon Skyline which landed Andy Shauf performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and CBS This Morning: Saturday, a Polaris Prize nomination, and mentions on several best-of lists among them, a track on Barack Obamas playlist and praise from Pitch- fork, The Atlantic, Esquire, Stereogum, and more.
We want to write a big albumsomething suited for radio, but our songs dont follow conventional pop structures. Instead of choruses with universal themes, I write with a specificity that is new to me, narrowing in on the smallest details of our lives. The more we try to broaden our scope, the more we turn inward.
To keep ourselves from falling into old habits, we use instruments and gear that are new to us. We work alone and Patrick engineers. The sounds he creates are as foundational as any part he writes. We resist the urge to over edit or do too many takes. Unlike previous albums which have been more wall of sound, we make a point not to overpower my voice with a dense mix.
We name the album Pollen. It is about small things with big consequences: a particle, a moment, a choice. It is me in a fragile state; sometimes inhabited freely, sometimes reacted against. It is striving to remain in a moment without slipping into dread. It is about the way I can be undone by a very small thing."

Her songs have amassed over 3 billion streams, having written for some of the world's biggest artists including: John Legend, Ellie Goulding, Khalid, David Guetta, Diplo, and Beyonce. In 2019 she was awarded The BMI Impact Award in recognition of her 'ground-breaking artistry, creative vision and impact on the future of music.
During the summer of 2021, her cries of frustration for not being able to release her album were heard worldwide, leading to a mutual separation from her label and allowing her to carve her own path. Having made her public tirade, followed by her personal 'declaration of independence', Raye in effect has obligated herself to deliver the ground-breaking first album that her 2019 BMI award prophesied. In 2022 she was nominated for the Ivors Songwriter of the year, landed R1 Brits List, made her debut solo TV performance on Jools Holland and made the face of Spotify's November Equal campaign. On February 3rd, 2023, RAYE will release her debut My 21st Century Blues. This is RAYE part two. It's RAYE on her own terms. -It's the RAYE of old, but reloaded. These are songs made by RAYE, for RAYE, but within that they're for everyone who has faced and overcome adversity. They're also anthems for other women in the industry, or stuck in a cycle of misogyny.

Brit Taylors highly anticipated sophomore album, Kentucky Blue, is a drive down the famed Country Music Highway Route 23 -- back to her Appalachian roots. Grammy-winner Sturgill Simpson and renowned engineer and producer David Ferguson caught wind of the Kentucky gem after her self-reflective debut album, Real Me, garnered praise from Rolling Stone, American Songwriter and NPRs World Caf. The two legends didnt hesitate to jump in and get their hands dirty, producing the next musical chapter of Brits life story. The album is to be released on Brits own Cut A Shine Records in collaboration with Thirty Tigers.
Having the courage to find her real me set Brit free. Kentucky Blue is a musical celebration of her healing and rebirth. It exudes confidence with a touch of attitude that replaces the melancholy, contemplative sound of Real Me. It is a progression of her life and her music and an introduction to the stand-your-ground and know-your-worth Brit of today. It is a shift back to her East Kentucky influences where the cry of the fiddle, the moan of the steel guitar, the twangy banjo and the atmospheric string section are like a journey floating through space and time.
Brit continues to unabashedly write and sing about what she lives and what she knows and sees. Its genuine. Its who she is.
Kentucky Blue is Brits personal invitation to you to join her at her cabin in the woods for a bourbon, a swing on the porch and a story-telling song.
