229. FROM NOTHING TO A LITTLE BIT MORE by The Lathums

229. FROM NOTHING TO A LITTLE BIT MORE by The Lathums

This 2023 sophomore release from Manchester, UK band The Lathums epitomizes what one would consider indie rock with some jingle jangle guitars thrown in for good measure. I haven't yet had a chance to listen to their debut record, though after listening to this one on and off over the

225. LIFES RICH PAGEANT by R.E.M.

225. LIFES RICH PAGEANT by R.E.M.

Released in 1986, this fourth record by alternative rock band R.E.M (previously covered here) served as somewhat of a transition from their strictly college rock leanings to something more accessible by a wider audience. Lead singer Michael Stipe continues with his cryptic lyrics, but this time they are

222. THE LOST ALBUM by The Smithereens

222. THE LOST ALBUM by The Smithereens

This 2022 record of pretty much all new material from The Smithereens (previously covered here) comes to us by way of 1993. Wait, what? Well, it turns out that when the band was in between record companies back then, they had decided to make an album on their own. So,

182. THE LAST THING LEFT by Say Sue Me

I only just heard about this South Korean band last week when reading something about the anticipation of their upcoming 2022 record, now officially released. Well, we've not quite reached mid-year but I have a feeling this may end up on my year end list of favorite 2022 albums. My

164. GUV III by Young Guv

This just released 2022 record comes to us from Toronto by way of the New Mexico desert. Young Guv is the moniker of Ben Cook who, believe it or not, used to be quite the hardcore rocker before transitioning to his current incarnation as power popper extraordinaire. Being stuck in

125. ALWAYS SOMETHING by UV-TV

125. ALWAYS SOMETHING by UV-TV

Another Friday brings another new record release and another new genre…jangle-punk. This Queens, New York trio honed their chops in Gainesville, Florida before relocating to NY where this 2021 album was recorded. Clocking in at just under 30 minutes and nine tracks, there should be no filler here. The

99. OUT OF TIME by R.E.M.

99. OUT OF TIME by R.E.M.

Today is election day in the United States, so I thought I’d cover a record that played a pretty important role in US politics back when it was released in 1991. Without getting too much into the weeds, the reason “Out of Time” is considered so critically important has

98. A STRANGE DREAM by Smokescreens

98. A STRANGE DREAM by Smokescreens

Fans of jangly guitar pop will do well to give this 2020 record by Los Angeles band Smokescreens a listen. You may just get reminded of a certain college rock band from Athens, Georgia. Definitely check out the album opener and closer, ‘Fork in the Road’ and ‘I Love Only
