It’s hard to believe it’s barely been two years since Royal Blood last put out an album. And it was a great one at that! The pandemic must have been fortuitous for them though, because they even managed to release a few singles before presenting the world with their fourth full length album, Back to the Water Below.

New Music – Singles Edition!
I have certainly been slacking it letting you all know about the new music I’ve been checking out lately, so here’s a whole bunch of songs from a whole bunch of people!
Read moreMiles Kane – One Man Band, Album Review
I know there are times when I say it feels like no time at all has passed in between bands’ works, but that sentiment truly fits this time! It’s not even been a year an a half since Miles Kane’s last record, Change the Show, and we are already being treated to One Man Band.
Read moreScary Kids Scaring Kids – Out of Light, Album Review
Given that the one and only time I got to see one of my favorite high school bands, Scary Kids Scaring Kids was with Saosin’s ex-vocalist Cove Reber at the helm, it only makes sense to me that they took a lyric out of the song he featured on for the bands new record, Out of Light. Now, it was new as of last fall and I hate myself for waiting this long to check it out in full, but here we are.

Read moreThe Pink Spiders – FREAKAZOID!, Album Review
I have had The Pink Spiders on rotation in my life since Teenage Graffiti came out, but this is the first time I’ve returned to new music from them in earnest. I know there was a bit of a rocky history as far as permanent members went beyond lead singer Matt Friction, so I’d say that’s the reason I never quite stayed current with them.
Read moreQueens of the Stone Age – In Times New Roman…, Album Review
How are we getting so lucky with so much good new music?! The rare gifts of the pandemic are still plenty it seems, and I’m not complaining. It’s been six years since Queens of the Stone Age have released new music, but they sure managed to deliver with In Times New Roman…
Read moreAvenged Sevenfold – Life Is but a Dream…, Album Review
Even though I’ve seen this well-regarded metal band live twice in my life, I think this is the first album of theirs that I’ve actually listened to in full. In fact, the last full length album they released was seven years ago – I didn’t even have a blog then! But Avenged Sevenfold is back with Life Is but a Dream… and I gave it my full attention with zero expectations.
Read moreFoo Fighters – But Here We Are, Album Review
Even though I just saw the Foo Fighters a few weeks ago, I couldn’t bring myself to immediately listen to their latest record, But Here We Are, coming just slightly over a year after the passing of the band’s longtime drummer, Taylor Hawkins. Then I learned that Dave Grohl’s mother passed a month after Taylor and I knew I was going to be in for a gut-punch of a record.
