This Providence
This Providence Who Are You Now? [2/5]
This Providence have finally provided a full-length that doesn’t evoke immediate comparisons of derivation, like their first two albums did. But with their previous musical skin shed, the band have nothing new to show. Who Are You Now? starts out promisingly enough, with “Sure As Hell” sounding...
More dates added to Gaslight Anthem/Murder By Death fall tour

Obits
Obits I Blame You [4/5]
It only took one widely circulated bootleg of their first-ever show to establish Obits’ reputation as a killer live band. I Blame You is where they make good on that promise, delivering a record as electrifying as their live show. They set the stage with the swaggering spy-rock riff...
Nashville Pussy
Nashville Pussy From Hell To Texas [3/5]
Much like AC/DC, Nashville Pussy have been delivering pretty much the same album since their 1996 inception. The filthy, Southern guitar licks and Blaine Cartwright’s vocal snarl mark their musical content, while drinking, drugs and sex are the consistent subject matter. Not that this is a bad...

Bob Mould
Bob Mould Life And Times [3/5]

Stripped of the electronics that had crept into recent releases, the simple, muscular rock and folk are matched in directness by lyrics that keep returning to troubled relationships,...
Heartless Bastards
Heartless Bastards The Mountain [3.5/5]
In an earlier lifetime, Erika Wennerstrom would have been Southern-rock royalty, slugging shots of Jim Beam and spitting fire in biker bars while busting the balls of backwoods, eight-toothed Romeos. But in this modern age, she’s simply an undiscovered American treasure, with each album grittier and more layered than...
Doves
Doves Kingdom Of Rust [4/5]
Spend 18 months ensconced in a farmhouse/studio in Cheshire, England, and something interesting is bound to happen. Thankfully, instead of going all Shining on each other, Doves came out the other side with a disc that pushes their unique mix of dance beats, folk and good old rock ’n’...
