Review: Jack White – Lazaretto
Ever since the release of Blunderbuss in 2012, Jack White’s solo career has been very unpredictable and almost a major step away from everything else he was doing in his various bands.

Get Hurt is The Gaslight Anthem’s awkward phase. Overproduced and lacking in any sincerity, I haven’t felt this turned off by an album since hearing Hanni El Khatib. … read more
Review: Foxes In Fiction – Ontario Gothic
This is bedroom pop at its finest. It’s gentle, soothing, and seems to be the stuff dreams are made of. … read more
Review: Exodus – Blood In Blood Out
Consider Blood In, Blood Out a comeback album. Many fans regard the recent vocalist Rob Dukes’ albums the worst Exodus have released. Exodus actually fired Dukes and brought back Steve “Zetro” Souza for Blood In Blood Out. … read more
Review: Electric Funeral – Total Funeral
I have the perfect solution to your mediocre life—Electric Funeral. A 53-song discography for the Swedish D-beat group, this album is great for shitty days or shitty nights. … read more
