Bob Mould is back and re-energized with Silver Age, a plugged in new album of 10 originals in the vein of Sugar.
Spin Cycle
Spin Cycle: Divine Fits, A Thing Called Divine Fits
Indie ‘supergroup’ doesn’t stray too far from the music of Spoon, really, but adds spice of its own from Handsome Furs’ Dan Boeckner and New Bomb Turks’ Sam Brown.
Spin Cycle: Trey Songz, Chapter V
R&B lothario Trey Songz does his best to target every R&B audience imaginable on his latest album, “Chapter V.”
Spin Cycle: Dublin Death Patrol, Death Sentence
Not to contradict myself but the sophomore release from Dublin Death Patrol is the album I wanted when I picked up the latest Testament record, Dark Roots Of Earth. While DROE is a great thrash record, I definitely wanted something more in tone with The Formation Of Damnation or The Gathering. If I wanted something more like The New Order, I’d just go dig in my vaults. Nostalgia is not the case when it comes to DDP. Chuck Billy sounds downright vicious while Steve […]
Spin Cycle: The Fades, Ragnarok
We’ve been talking a lot about UK’s The Fades throughout 2012 and the payoff is finally here as their first proper album, Ragnarok, is finally released. Soon. It’s not out yet. But we’ve heard it, and it’s killer. Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, The Clash, Sex Pistols, early Killing Joke. It’s all in there. And ridiculously cohesive. You’d think that after releasing as diverse singles as they have up til now there wouldn’t be any more surprises and that’s […]

Spin Cycle: Kiss, Destroyer [Resurrected]
Do you remember the first full-length LP you ever bought? Mine was Kiss’ Destroyer, which I purchased in 1976 at the ripe old age of 10. I got it at the Post Exchange and then waited for my dad to come home from work so that I could listen to it on his 4 channel system rather than the portable turntable my sister and I normally used (and by portable, I mean it folded up into the size of a […]
Spin Cycle: The Darkness, Hot Cakes
Almost a decade after Permission to Land and “I Believe in a Thing Called Love”, The Darkness once again rock out with their collective cock out. Popblerd reviews “Hot Cakes”.
Spin Cycle: Yeasayer, Fragrant World
Yeasayer’s third album is filled with both fruitful and fruitless twists and turns. Popblerd’s KBOX attempts aural navigation in his review of Fragrant World.
Spin Cycle: Ry Cooder, Election Special
Cooder takes on the conservative establishment with some of his most direct and pointed political work to date.
Spin Cycle: Owl City, The Midsummer Station
Adam Young’s confidence is growing. Is his music suffering as a result?
Spin Cycle: I Was Totally Destroying It Vexations
After listening to The Dark Tower-inspired Vexations by Chapel Hill, North Carolina’s I Was Totally Destroying It , I really wished I had read the Stephen King novels so I could enjoy this album even more than I already do. Don’t worry, though, it’s “loosely inspired” so if you haven’t read them either you’ll be fine. With three full-lengths and two EP’s already under their belt, IWTDI already have a substantial catalog and enough music out there that you should already know who they are. If […]
Spin Cycle: Project 86, Wait For The Siren
Project 86 returns with Wait For The Siren and it leaves Spin Cycle “waiting” for their next album!
