Unloved
It’s the Brill Building at night, illuminated only by the streetlights. The avant-garde with heart and soul. It’s the revolutionary band, The United States of America, filtered through the soundtracks of beautiful, baffling movies you have only seen in your mind. It’s when the gum-snapping, back-combing, smart-talking girl group member feels the blast of the […]
Aqua
No other band represents the late 90’s like the Danish dance-pop group Aqua. The band got their big break back in 1997 with their debut album ‘Aquarium.’ The album contained hit singles like ‘Turn Back Time, ‘Doctor Jones’ and the notorious hit ‘Barbie Girl,’ which upon its release in May 1997 became a global phenomenon, […]

Night Crickets

In other words, it’s fantastic.” – Rock and Roll Globe “… a glorious masterwork that incorporates the past, the present, and the imagined future.” – The Big Takeover “groovy, jazzy and danceable, playful and sinister.” – Brooklyn Vegan Serving as […]
Imaad Wasif
To hear the acclaimed Los Angeles singer, guitarist and songwriter Imaad Wasif lay it out, when in 2020 he and producer-musician Bobb Bruno (Best Coast) started working on Wasif’s new album, So Long Mr. Fear, they did so with the determined ferocity of a drill rig boring into a mountainside. “We built a tunnel through […]
Dead Kennedys
Dead Kennedys’ classic 1980 album Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables has been remixed from the original multitrack tapes by Chris Lord-Alge (Chaka Khan, Green Day, Bruce Springsteen). The band’s debut album (original release date: September 2, 1980) is politically incendiary while also wholly musically adept – provocative and often idiosyncratic agit prop lyrics bouncing off […]

Pansy Division
There have been gay musicians hidden throughout rock music history, but when Pansy Division began in 1991 in San Francisco, they were the first to be so boldly open about it. Founded by guitarist/singer Jon Ginoli and soon joined by bassist/vocalist Chris Freeman, with the intent of forming a gay rock band, Pansy Division blew […]
Alicia Blue
It’s difficult to pin down exact musical influences on Alicia Blue’s Inner Child Work—and that’s exactly how the California singer-songwriter likes it. Although her folk roots are never far from the surface, the album encompasses dreamy indie-rock (“Dog Days in L.A.”), delicate pop meditations (“Saline Waters”), ’90s alternative rock (“Dirty Hippie”), and even Tori Amos-esque […]
