Jarring post-punk guitar lines riddle this 2023 Paramore record, having more in common with the British indie-guitar rock of Bloc Party and Franz Ferdinand than the scene-kid emo-core genre that originally spawned this group.

This episode features Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Liam Wit…

Rolling Stone magazine named “Rumours” by Fleetwood Mac as the 7th Greatest Album of All Time in 2022.

It immediately sold twenty million copies upon its release, an…

Before her collaborations with Conor Oberst, The 1975, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker made her the undisputed queen of sad indie folk-pop of the last few years, Phoebe Bridgers made a statement and a splash with this debut record of wry sun-bleached confessional songcraft that’s as funny as it is morbid. Named after a line from the edited-for-TV versi…

Harvey Keitel starred in the film “That’s The Way Of The World” that this record functions as a soundtrack to, but Maurice White and the rest of Earth, Wind & Fire sensed that it was going to be a box office flop, so they pushed for it to be released before the premiere. They were correct. The album went to number one in the Billboard charts, where…

The seventh album by Arctic Monkeys finds Alex Turner and the lads continuing the lounge-rock direction that began on 2018’s Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino with a tight taut song cycle of baroque longing and cinematic style.

The son of an experimental artist and a Scientologist composer, Beck Hansen cut his teeth in the New York anti-folk scene before returning to L.A. in the late 80s as an alternative freakfolker in a sea of hairspray and spandex.
