Album Review: Dinosaur Jr - I Bet On Sky
There is a real presence on this record, something that’s lacking in today’s releases, and while these guys may not save rock‘n’roll, they show on this album that they will damn well avenge it.

Album Review: Dappled Cities - Lake Air
Despite some of it being recorded in Paris and London, there’s definitely a familiarity on Lake Air that makes you feel at home, and further makes you wish they never stop making records.

Wearing their hearts on their sleeves, their political messages still ring loud and clear.
