What's New 11-1-24

Powerflo
New Damage Records

Powerflo combines the passionate, chaotic, and authentic urgency of a brand-new band with the unrivaled experience of its trailblazing members. Senen Reyes (Cypress Hill), Billy Graziadei (Biohazard), and Christian Olde Wolbers (Fear Factory) are genre giants who shaped heavy music and hip-hop and continue to innovate with Gorilla Warfare.

Elvis Costello
UMe

King of America traces Costello’s musical travels from Hollywood – where the original album was recorded in 1986 – to a brand new take on “Brilliant Mistake” cut in Cape Fear early in 2024, via recording adventures in New Orleans, Oxford, Nashville and Memphis, and guided by his 35-page essay and rare and never-before seen photos.

Skillet
Hear It Loud

After nearly three decades, eleven albums, and thousands of shows worldwide, Skillet play louder, fight harder, and sound more rebellious than ever. With Revolution, they deliver an insurgent, infectious, and inimitable body of work with their twelfth full-length offering and first-ever independent album.

Weezer
Geffen

One of the most important debut albums of all time, Weezer’s “blue” album celebrates 30 years with an extensive Deluxe 3CD boxset. Includes 50 tracks, 36 of which were previously unreleased, including 8 Kitchen Tape Demos, 22 early practices and live recordings, 6 BBC radio recordings (2 never broadcasted), and 4 tracks from their LMU sessions.

Illiterate Light
Thirty Tigers / Red Book Records

Is this guitar-driven indie rock? Kaleidoscopic psychedelia? Synth-kissed folk? What does one do with an album beginning with “fake tits and diet coke,” then pivoting to train derailments in rural Ohio and never-ending black holes? Well you capture the energy of your live shows—fans crowd-surfing, moshing, crying, and crooning—and infuse it into your latest release.

Mxmtoon
AWAL / Turtle Girl Records LLC

Though this album’s subject matter feels deeper and darker than the 2022’s Rising, Maia doesn’t fail to bring across playful humor and fascinating detail, which when combined with a new folk pop/rock blend and excellent production, sounds hugely dynamic and will stick in your head for days.

Wilderado
AWAL / Bright Antenna Ent.

A spirited, soul-searching record built out of real passion and raw emotions, Wilderado’s Talker is a beautifully warm, tender, and achingly vulnerable folk rock reverie that finds the Tulsa, Oklahoma band living in the moment and taking in everything life has to offer them.

The Cure
Capitol

The Cure is at an artistic peak on their first album in 16 years: movingly melancholic, with a punchy sound to match the lyrics’ emotional impact. Two more records may be arriving at some point, but this album feels sufficient enough for the wait we’ve endured, just for being arguably the most personal album of their career. Mortality may loom, but there’s color in the black and flowers on the grave.

Lil Peep
AWAL / Death Note Music, LLC

With its full-blown cries for help, and juxtaposing boastful lyrics, Gustav Elijah Ĺhr immediately managed to create a mind-bending sound of his own with this debut project. Within a scene of hundreds of other artists trying to do what Lil Peep could only do, Part One remains a quintessential introduction.
