Parquet Courts+The Beets+Yuppies+Future Punx
|
|
The debut release from Texas transplants Parquet Courts fell under the radar, due in no small part to its exclusive release on cassette. Luckily, New York-based What's Your Rupture re-released the Light Up Gold LP, a refreshingly brisk album of snotty-n-stoned punk with crisp guitar breaks and... More >> |

Twin Peaks
|
|
The way this band captures the reckless and joyful energy of being 19, you could probably guess their age even without looking them on Wiki. Playing a mix of garage rock and dream pop that brims with the scuzzy punk vigor of Iggy and suffers neither from immaturity nor sonic acne scars, the... More >> |

Blondie+X
|
|
The punk band who deftly integrated disco, hip-hop, and new wave well before popular music took heed to all of those elements is back with a new album titled Ghosts of Download and a Beth Ditto-featuring single called "A Rose by Any Name." Always up on the modern and never a band to back into... More >> |

Oneida
|
|
As one of Brooklyn's most prolific and resilient units, rock experimentalists Oneida maintain a state of perpetual motion that equals only their own hypnotic rhythms. In the past three years, they've played day-long "Ocropolis" concerts, they've put out albums, singles, and live LPs, and... More >> |

Marc Ribot and Ceramic Dog
|
|
"Not a 'project': a real band" promises this experimental power trio consisting of Marc Ribot (guitar), Shazad Ismaily (bass, electronics), and Ches Smith (drums). And their fairly recent Your Turn proves it with a lubricious hard-rock frenzy miles beyond their clinkety-clank 2011 debut. It's... More >> |

Theo Katzman+Joey Dosik

Goblin+Secret Chiefs 3
|
|
The Italian progressive rockers formerly known as the Cherry Five entered horror-movie history in 1975 when, Pink Floyd being unavailable, Goblin stepped in at the last minute to score Dario Argento’s ultraviolent giallo classic Profondo Rosso. Combining the technical smarts of bands like... More >> |

Panic! At the Disco
|
|
With the exclamation point safely placed back in their name, Panic! At the Disco have returned to their noir-esque, weird selves as they prepare to release their latest album, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, also complete with an exclamation point. The title, a reference to Hunter S.... More >> |

Simone Felice
|
|
The novelist, former Felice Brother, and Duke and the King co-founder is working on (and crowd-funding) his second solo album and latest rhapsodically chilling dispatch from the Catskills.

Meat Puppets
|
|
The Meat Puppets are one of those bands whose omnipresence and influence within alternative music can't be missed: From Nirvana to Pavement, this cowpunk band and early SST Records signee, fronted by Phoenix’s Kirkwood brothers, have been unapologetically themselves since the early '80s....

Fuzz
|
|
This aptly monikered young California trioconsisting of Roland Cosio (bass), Charlie Moothart (guitar), and prolific garage-psych overachiever Ty Segall (drums, vocals)revives the meth-fueled blast furnace of early Blue Cheer. Moothart has Leigh Stephens's overdriven,... More >> |

Nine Inch Nails+Godspeed You! Black Emperor
|
|
Back in gear after a several year absence, the visceral nature of early Nine Inch Nails has given way to something more rewardingly cerebral. Reunion album Hesitation Marks plays like the sonic equivalent of a long, winding tour through fossilized wormwood. Life may not have frontman Trent... More >> |

Savages
|
|
Savages are an all-female English foursome who approach post-punk with a ferocious feminism that rivals the wildness of the riot grrrl movement. Fairly new on the scene, they only formed at the end of 2011 but have already won plenty of accolades from both fans and press. Expect ceaseless... More >> |

| West 50s | Rock |
Steely Dan
|
|
You can usually find these poster boys of jazz-rock right around the intersection of yacht-rock and prog, with grooves worthy of the Doobie Brothers played over far more complex chord sequences. They've released only three new albums in the past 25 years, so their week-long run at the Beacon... More >> |

The Julie Ruin
|
|
|
In 1997, feminist punk icon Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill retreated to her bedroom to create an excellent home-recorded solo album titled Julie Ruin.

The Flaming Lips+Tame Impala
|
|
|
As the world awaits Lipsha, the unlikely brainchild of the Flaming Lips and Kesha, Lips fans will have to content themselves more of The Terror, Wayne Coyne's foray into existential despair and ontological dread following a breakup with his partner of 25 years. They've never sounded so gloomy... More >> |

Chicha Libre
|
|
|
In addition to being a popular alcoholic beverage, "chicha" also signifies the psychedelic style of cumbia fermented in Peru's Amazonian rainforests during the '70s.
