It’s been almost four years since Swedish Viking rowers Amon Amarth unleashed The Great Heathen Army, but they hardly sit idle. Now they approach a new way of songwriting on their first-ever acoustic excursion, “Uppha”. The single serves as the quiet moment to what lies ahead, before the fury of their next studio album, which according to the label they are currently working on.

If you’re the right age, the world “Candlebox” brings up all kinds of indelible memories. If you’re too young, just know that Candlebox were a Seattle rock band who happened to catch on during the grunge explosion, even though they weren’t really a grunge band. They were one of the first acts who signed to Madonna’s Maverick label, and their self-titled 1993 debut spawned a ton of radio hits and went quadruple platinum. But they got a lot of backlash for riding the grunge wave, even though they never really tried to do that, and their subsequent records didn’t sell. Candlebox ultimately broke up and got back together, and they’re still a band today, but their name will always evoke a certain moment of rock ‘n’ roll excitement, confusion, and resentment. Now, Candlebox have a brand new Mountain Goats song named after them.

Around the time that he formed the White Stripes, Jack White had a stint as a guitarist for the Go, a wooly and psychedelic Detroit garage-punk band. White was in the Go when they recorded their debut album Whatcha Doin’, which came out on Sub Pop in 1999. Shortly thereafter, White left the Go, and they recorded another album called Free Electricity. It never came out. But after 26 years on the shelf, Free Electricity will finally get a Sub Pop release later this year.

I’m not sure any song this year has burrowed its way into my brain more effectively than “Monday,” the springtime offering from LA power-pop band Jawdropped. That song is catchy as hell, it moves with an irresistible momentum, and I love the noisy tension threaded into it, which neatly dovetails with the lyrics about delighted, anxious anticipation. It’s further elevated by the music video, a simple but effective clip that finds the four members of Jawdropped performing in front of windows in different rooms of a building. You know how you can be vaguely aware of a band and then one song comes along and snaps you into focus, and then you’re an enthusiastic fan? “Monday” was that song for me.

Asher White doesn’t stay quiet for too long, and thank god for that. Last year she released her 16th album 8 Tips For Full Catastrophe Living, which was also her debut for Joyful Noise that earned her our Artist To Watch honor. Earlier this year the prolific indie artist covered Jessica Pratt’s entire debut LP, and now she’s returning with another record called Love Aggregates.

(We venture off our usual beaten paths today with the following very engaging interview conducted by Comrade Aleks with a member of the Puerto Rican band Moths, whose progressive metal goes off in very interesting and often unexpected directions.) Things happen and it’s difficult to support each new release in time, but I believe that […]

Just as important, he left behind a collection of songs and a blueprint for a third album he was ready to record. Shortly before the pandemic, Travis assembled […]
