  • Premonition 13 – 13

    This record adds another solid chapter to a long and storied career. Wino is God.

  • Dixie Witch – Let It Roll

    For the most part, Dixie Witch straddles the line between southern and stadium rock, and while this album mostly hits the mark, there isn’t that much separating one song from the next.

    With a roster of talent that is hard to match, Shrinebuilder’s Shrinebuilder is an impressive debut.
