Vinyl Kings – A Little Trip
There’s already too many Beatles tribute-bands/albums, so if you want to make another one, you better make it special … like this one. What’s great about this album is that with every new listen, you […]

Model Rockets – Tell The Kids The Cops Are Here
It’s been over five years since the last Model Rockets album, and I can’t say it’s been worth the wait — that’s five fucking years they nor us will ever get back. Which is not […]

The JTG Implosion – All The People Some Of The Time
This is a perfect replacement for the long awaited follow up to the Star Collector’s (who are no more it seems, unfortunately) debut from 1999. You get all the same ingredients, including the Wilsonian harmonizing […]

Various Artists – Fading Yellow Vol. 4 & Vol. 5
Not that it’s precedent or something, but besides the improvement of the actual content with every new volume of the Fading Yellow compilations, it’s obvious that the packaging is also taken special care of. With […]
