October 27, 2023

Our weekly look at this weeks new arrivals, re-stock, staff picks and a whole lot more...

Angel Dust

Brand New Soul

"Brand New Soul" marks a new chapter for Angel Dust, one that channels vocalist Justice Tripp's vision more directly than ever before. For nearly two decades, the musician has consistently been ahead of the curve: first with Trapped Under Ice, where he led the way for a new wave of heavy hardcore, and then as the mastermind behind Angel Dust, where he blazed the trail for the current generation of hardcore musicians to branch out into unabashedly catchy territory. The record is a fearless and open-hearted tribute to all things rock, offering listeners a chance to be right there with Angel Dust on the cutting edge.

Night Of The Wolverine

Double LP 2x12" 33rpm vinyl discs. Original 1993 album was released on Compact Disc. 53 minutes long. Too long for just one disc. Remastered for vinyl edition.

Purchase

Jimmy Eat World

Bleed American

Limited vinyl LP pressing of this 2001 album from the Arizona-based emo rock band. Jimmy Eat World exemplify all that is the modern radio rock sound. Singing and playing with a conviction and sincerity that will melt the heart of even the most stoic of listeners, they produce rousing, well-crafted anthems along the lines of Third Eye Blind at their roughest or a more polished Green Day. These guys appear to be able to write ready-made singles at the drop of a hat, as evidenced by "Your House" as well as the title track. In fact, there is a rather shocking maturity to their material that belies the band members' ages (all in their 20s). Overall, Jimmy Eat World give the people what they want with Bleed American.

Purchase

Ben: Dust - Et Cetera, etc

Newcastle's answer to the current wave of UK/EU post punk ala Fontaines DC, Shame, Idles and Viagra Boys release their debut album and it is very, very impressive. Combine this with an intense, compelling live show and Dust could just be the next big thing. The boys are also just about to set off on tour in Europe, where they will be lapped up. Own this limited early pressing before you can't and watch them go.

Buy Dust - Et Cetera, etc..
