Anti-Flag – Lies They Tell Our Children LP
Anti-Flag Lies They Tell Our Children LP (Spinefarm Records) After thirty-five years in circulation documented by twelve full-length albums, eleven EPs, a multitude of singles, videos, split releases and other releases in addition to innumerable miles logged on the road, it goes without saying that Anti-Flag has paid its dues – but Lies They Tell…

Maren Morris – Humble Quest LP
Maren Morris Humble Quest LP (Columbia/Sony Music) It’s funny how, as good as each of the eleven songs are on Maren Morris’ Humble Quest are, trying to pin down their appeal will probably take listeners a minute. For example, when “Circles Around This Town” opens the A-side of the album, listeners will be able to…

Jacob Brodovsky – I Love You and I’m Sorry LP
Jacob Brodovsky I Love You and I’m Sorry LP (independent) I started trying to write a review of Jacob Brodovky’s debut album, I Love You and I’m Sorry, six times before finally electing to do what the album does and just opening with a bit of candor: on my first play through the album, I…

Suzi Moon – Dumb & In Luv LP
Suzi Moon Dumb & In Luv LP (Pirates Press Records) After having released two EPs in the last sixteen months, it’s unlikely that fans expected a full-length album to be forthcoming from Suzi Moon – but the even greater surprise is just how incredibly good Dumb & In Luv is. Where the EPs hinted at…

The Dils – Live! [Reissue] LP + CD
The Dils Live! [Reissue] LP+CD (Porterhouse Records) While plenty of punk bands have been well exposed since the public became interested in learning about the early days of the L.A. punk scene (X’s catalogue has been reissued by Fat Possum Records, Porterhouse reissued (MIA) by The Germs and other labels have reissued titles by The…

Suzi Moon – Animal 12” EP
Suzi Moon Animal 12” EP (Pirates Press Records) Important point: there are three songs on Suzi Moon’s Animal 12” EP. All three songs appear on both sides of said single so, where most vinyl releases are characterized by the movement from front to back, this single seeks to reprise its progression from one side to…

The Lorrainas – Party ‘Til It’s Dark [Reissue] LP
The Lorrainas Party ‘Til It’s Dark LP (Reissue) (Surfin’ Ki’ Records/Mom’s Basement Records) Sure, this vinyl reissue of Party ‘Til It’s Dark – The Lorrainas’ first and only full-length studio album – may seek to re-introduce material which is now seventeen years old, but anyone who hears it will excitedly admit that the music sounds…

The Monsters – You’re Class, I’m Trash LP
The Monsters You’re Class, I’m Trash LP (Voodoo Rhythm Records) Arguably the greatest compliment one can pay to a punk record is not to call it “good” or “great” or anything like that (because such terms can be – and have been – dismissed as a matter of opinion or as a matter of perception),…

Black Label Society – Doom Crew Inc. [2LP]
Black Label Society Doom Crew Inc. (2LP) (eOne) Funny thing about the bands and/or projects launched by guitarists, they tend to focus heavily on guitar. It is not uncommon, for example, for songs on such albums to feature extended examinations of the guitar as the central thematic and sonic element of every composition; the instrument…

Long Range Hustle – I Am Alive But Only If You Say I Am LP
Long Range Hustle I’m Alive, But Only If You Say I Am LP (Sans Shoes/Anti-Fragile) While the nature of the album’s title seems inherently soft, on its face (most bands want to exclaim, “We are here,” but the title of Long Range Hustle’s sophomore full-length album seems to ask for the validation that most other…
