Finally available again! This digitally remastered (by the original sound engineer) reissue of their classic 1985 DK album! This 2001 Manifesto release features 10 tracks.
It's not terribly surprising that G. Love and Special Sauce were tapped to fill in for Sugar Ray when the band dropped out of Woodstock '99. It's not simply because of the smooth, muscle-shirted frontmen, but also because the same kind of easy soul, funk, and rap influences wash over their stronger cuts. The calypsolike "Rodeo Clowns" on Philadelphonic feeds on that radio-friendly vibe, all sunshine and broken hearts. Unfortunately, that cut is...
The Argument is a bracing reminder of Fugazi's confidence and passion, reflecting the experimental impulses of their previous two albums while further refining their songs and arrangements. It's certainly their most expansive album to date, with a supporting cast that includes Bridget Cross (Unrest, Air Miami), Kathi Wilcox (Bikini Kill), Amy Domingues (Ida), and roadie-soundman Jerry Busher. There's a pronounced pop element at work this time:...
One of the most innovative soundtrack album series ever created launches with Music From The O.C. Mix 1. Featuring hip, recent, largely indie rock tracks heard on the FOX runaway hit sensation "The O.C.," the album is the first of several (at least one each 2004 quarter) designed to appeal to the 9 million to 11 million mainly teen and young adult fans who watch the drama each Wednesday night. The hottest show on TV with the hottest music on TV...
The sophmore release from Stone Sour, featuring the tracks "Through Glass" which is blowing up at Rock Radio and "30/30-150" the hard rocker whose video can be seen on MTV2 Headbangers Ball.
"Ice Cold Ice," in which Bob Mould rails against "barren lands and barren minds" and Grant Hart falls in on the supercatchy chorus, exemplifies the Hsker D career development that peaks on this final album. Without sacrificing the emotional intensity of earlier albums, the Minneapolis trio beefs up the guitar-based melodies and sneaks in pop songcraft in lieu of the old fast-and-loud hardcore style. On this 1987 double album, as usual, guitarist...
The Dirty South is the sixth album by Muscle Shoals, Alabama-based Drive-By Truckers. While previous Southern rock bands have celebrated certain regional mythologies, this quintet revels in the towering glory of small, gritty realities. They can kick up a righteous storm, as on the country lick-filled opener "Where the Devil Don't Stay," or the swamp and fuzzy "Lookout Mountain." However, within the latter is a daunting verse: "If I throw myself...
Better days are here again as one of America's favorite rock bands, The Goo Goo Dolls, returns with its first studio album since 2002. Opening the doors for Let Love In-with the renowned Glen Ballad producing the band for the first time. Let Love In welcomes The Goo Goo Dolls back to the top of rock.
The first national release from LA's best kept secret. Produced and mixed by Rod Cevera (Weezer, Warlocks). They've toured with Elliott Smith, Rilo Kiley, Autolux, Earlimart, Secret Machines, and Radar Brothers. "The Silversun Pickups' 'Lazy Eye' plays like Billy Corgan on the only happy day of his life, alternating between 'Sun Tanning On The Patio' fuzz and shit disturbing ampage" - splendidzine.com.
"Minutes to Midnight" is rock's most anticipated album of the year. This album redefines one of today's most adventurous, accomplished and acclaimed bands.
This is an album or rare, unreleased recordings from March 1979, recorded live at San Francisco's Deaf Club. The sound quality is excellent, & it features the original 5-piece line-up of Dead Kennedys. This is only the second-ever authorized live release from the band, after 'Mutiny on the Bay' from 2001. 15 tracks including a never-before heard DK song 'Gaslight', plus an 8-page booklet of brand-new art! Digipak. Manifesto. 2004.
Following Staind's footsteps, Nickelback make the personal public and vent a history of frustration and resentment to melodic hard rock. The band's second album, Silver Side Up, starts with "Never Again," an angry tirade against domestic violence that sheds light on the issue without too much sap or sentiment. The album's catchy radio hit "How You Remind Me" and the song "Woke Up This Morning" tell of rotting relationships, while other tracks...
Florida-bred metal-rappers Limp Bizkit sold a million-plus records of their debut largely on the strength of a George Michael cover song. But the band indeed had "Faith" and the group's second outing proves that the Bizkit have the goods. Still, it seems as if boastful frontman Fred Durst is loading the band's deck again, this time by including scads of guest vocalists, such as Stone Temple Pilots' singer Scott Weiland, Method Man from Wu-Tang...
A hundred summer days bottled up inside one guitar! Beat Happening's classic debut album has been reissued on compact disc, with lots of extra material from 1983-85, the time during which the first album was originally recorded and released. Bret, Heather and Calvin made music that was hot & bothered, and the world listened with trepidation. As the first album ever to be released on K, Beat Happening set a mood of irresistibility that has...
The album resulted in "Last train home" being number one on Us Modern rock tracks radio play for one week. "To hell we ride" was featured in Need For Speed Underground released by EA games. The title track start something was featured in ads for the film annapolis. The album is a overall hit by the group.
The album that named a movement (and a magazine), No Depression rocks and twangs in just about equal measure, though the rock side wins out most of the time. Even when a song downshifts from full-on punk to banjo- and mandolin-graced interludes, it usually shifts back again, seemingly louder and angrier than before. Beyond the influential sound, though, are some great songs, whether they're raging originals like "Graveyard Shift," an earnest,...
Uncle Tupelo has received far more attention retrospectively than the band ever did while active. Maybe the best thing about this compilation, then, is that it ignores the myth and exalts the music. Issued eight years after the Jay Farrar/Jeff Tweedy split that yielded Son Volt and Wilco--and compiled with the participation of both parties--the anthology gathers its 21 tracks from every stage of the band's brief career. It's all here: lurching...
This successor to the band's promising It Means Everything debut album finds Save Ferris in a similar bind to that encountered by their Orange County brethren in No Doubt. Specifically: how to follow up on the success of a ska-pop breakthrough when the style itself has faded commercially. Modified is a more uneven collection than its predecessor, even though Monique Powell (a less-mannered vocalist than Gwen Stefani) shines on the reggae-tinged...
It takes only seconds to realize that Psychic... Powerless took everything one step further in 1985. Hardcore wasn't a genuinely relevant context for the Butthole Surfers' first full-length, nor was noise, experimental improvisation, or any sibling, cousin, or neighbor of rock & roll. Psychic... Powerless just took everything, including a compelling sense of postpunk music as a premise for extreme (and often very funny) drama, and mashed it...
North Carolina's Between the Buried and Me have already established a place for themselves in underground rock with their innovative and seamless combination of hardcore, heavy metal, math rock, and yes, jazz. So for album number four, why not have some fun covering and paying homage to some of the bands that helped get the guys where they are today? Consequently, The Anatomy Of is full of acts that BTBAM shamelessly rocked out to in their...
The Smashing Pumpkins' "Greatest Hits" features 20 videos and live performances, behind the scenes footage, and one never-before-released song. Songs: Siva, Rhinoceros, Cherub Rock, Today, Disarm, Rocket, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, 1979, Zero, Tonight Tonight, Thirty-Three, Ava Adore, Perfect, The Everlasting Gaze, Stand Inside Your Love, Try Try Try, Geek USA, An Ode to No One, I Am One, Try, Untitled.
You haven't seen Barenaked Ladies until you've seen Barelaked Nadies (yep, that's the title). For the first time, not only are all the videos from Barenaked Ladies collected in one place, but each has been remastered in 5.1 surround sound for this DVD. Barelaked Nadies is the alternative pop band's ultimate video retrospective, spanning 1992-2001 with 17 music videos plus surround sound concert footage from the pay-per-view event "The Great...
The Cramp's 1994 release "Flamejob" finds the band playing it rough and hard. Less of the classic Cramps sound and more of a hard edge mean guitar sound, perhaps to compete with the heavier grunge sound of the era.
1997's "Big Beat from Badsville" is, in a way, the final chapter of The Cramps' long, twisted ride to fame. After this CD got released, fans had to wait 6 long years before "Fiends of Dope Island" was unleashed. Out of all the records the band made, "Big Beat" is probably the least successful. There are a couple of reasons why. First of all, most of the lyrics appear to be random phrases carelessly cut and glued together. The tracks' choruses...
Expounding on the theme from their hit "Walking on the Sun" (from the multiplatinum Fush Yu Mang), the verbose songs on Astro Lounge are filled with examinations of societal ills, personal woes, and other disappointments entailed in this thing known as Humanity. Yes, the album would seem heavy-handed were not the overriding sentiments filtered through Smash Mouth's "Hey, dude, let's party!" brand of musical optimism. Ranging from reggae to...
New York Natives Wheatus Make a Defiant Return with a Repackaged, Retitled and Revitalized Version of their Second Album. To Celebrate their New-found Freedom from Sony Music, Wheatus Rerelease the Album which Sony Almost Succeeded in Burying Without Trace. The First Release on the Band's Own Montauk Mantis Label, it Raises a Middle Finger to the World of Corporate Music. With New Artwork, a Mischievous New Title and Two New Tracks, Including a...
BILLBOARD MAGAZINE (Aug-1995) "Patrick O'Hearn is one of the pioneers of modern instrumental music, and his 1985 solo debut, Ancient Dreams, remains influential. Trust maintains a fidelity to that sound-brimming with dark, vaguely ethnic rhythms, O'Hearn's rubbery bass work, and the kind of lush, textured electronic timbres that have been his trademarks... O'Hearn sports a languorous sound design and makes a poetic, portentous melodic...
Since 1989, this San Francisco band has recorded five albums and toured the US, Canada, and Europe extensively. Fueled by the commercial success of their hit song, "Little Black Backpack", their third album, "Nasty Little Thoughts" went gold in 2000. The single "Kick Some Ass" from their fourth release, "Rip It Off" was featured in the movie "Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back". The group also had songs in other movies and TV shows including "Ed...
By far the most unrelievedly aggressive of this seminal D.C. foursome's seven albums, this 1993 collection assembles all the essential elements of Fugazi's aesthetic--strafing melodic tension, dynamic shifts, and unrestrained lyrical fury--and drives them into the psyche with nary a hint of sonic subtlety. That might sound one-dimensional, but somehow Ian MacKaye and company manage to wring a full spectrum of emotional impact out of that small...
The biggest-selling album by a female artist in history, Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill is 16 times platinum and Billboard's Top Pop Album of the 90's. Now, celebrating its 10th anniversary, Morissette and producer/co-writer have recorded the entire album in an acoustic version. Jagged Little Pill Acoustic (enhanced with exclusive content) features the songs in their original order and adds previously unreleased video footage from that...
This breathtaking performance displays why Bad Brains became one of the most important bands in the history of American Hardcore. On Christmas Eve 1982, Bad Brains began their three-day stint at a Hardcore Festival hosted by legendary CBGB. This CD represents the very best of these shows, culled from over 4 hours of footage. Their live performances were legendary. Now, for the first time on CD, that powerful performance is revisited in...

Japanese version of the former Bauhaus member solo album. US release is scheduled to come out in February 2002.
By the time the title track's triumphant riff chime-growls out midway through Under the Big Black Sun, the listener has already been through the most wrenching sequence of X songs yet assembled. After the thumping bike-club anthem "The Hungry Wolf" opens this 1982 major-label debut, its tough-ass romanticism is quickly plowed under by memories of a motel bed "with rubber sheets" and two heartrending songs about Exene Cervenka's sister Mirielle,...
Concentration on the Things that Matter, on the Essential Corner-stones of their Very Own Creativity Marked the Production of "Nimby". The Various Projects and Unusual Activities have Been Important and Educational Experiences for a Band who have Achieved Almost Everything in their Career. Now They've Returned to the Working Method of their Early Days When the Naked Song and Pure Interaction Between all Six Band Members were at the Epicentre of...
Backed by Cul de Sac, The Epiphany of Glenn Jones represents some of the best playing of fingerstyle guitarist John Fahey in a long time. It's a perfect blend of moody, acoustic ballads, and improvised noodling, all featuring overtly simple guitar and sampler structures. Fahey fans should buy it for "Gamelan Guitar" alone--a repetitive little ditty that features Fahey accompanied by the tinkling sound effects of closely-mic'd dry beans and rice...
SPECIAL EDITION: Along with the CD is a DVDA including the entire album in both surround sound and high-resolution stereo as well as 11 acoustic tracks in high resolution, b-sides in surround sound and video features.
Live is continuing to grow into their ambitions, as "Love Shines (A Song for My Daughters About God)" indicates, but they remain invigorated on their seventh studio recording. They deserve some credit for that as they've been at this rock thing for awhile now, forming in 1988 and releasing debut Mental Jewelry in 1991. Although there's nothing as epic here as 1994's fist-pumping anthem "I Alone," Songs from the Black Mountain still reaches for...

The track listing reads like a who's who of the nu-metal genre, with brand-new songs from chart toppers including Godsmack, Creed, and Nickelback. Especially strong are System of a Down's orchestrated-meets-intense "Streamline," Sevendust's fervent and unique "Corrected," and Nickelback's raucous, edgy, raw rocker "Yanking Out My Heart," while Creed's typically musically morose five-minute ballad "To Whom It May Concern" will certainly delight...
UK pressing of the Alternative band's 2007 sophomore album featuring one bonus track: 'We Don't Care At All'. Blackbird is the follow up to their debut album, the Gold-certified One Day Remains, which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart its week of release.

Camper Van Beethoven's first record with bona fide crossover appeal, 1989's Key Lime Pie (Virgin), brought the celebrated indie band into the, ahem, lime light. Not surprising since Key Lime Pie joined David Lowery's playful, ironic songwriting, Morgan Fichter's soaring violin, and Dennis Henderson's artful production. While the percussive cover "Pictures of Matchstick Men" and the chugging "Jack Ruby" have historically gotten the most attention...
2003 release featuring the American Underground band live (tracks 1-25) were performed at CBGB, New York City, August 30, 1987. Tracks 26-28 are in the studio July 1988. Dr. Strange Records.
The New York band's self-titled debut, on Maverick Records, combines emotional bloodletting, stately grandeur, lovely melodies & fierce aggression into affecting, authentic, inspiring rock. 2003.
Take one part Ramones, one part Buzzcocks, and one part Husker Du, and you've got the basic foundation of Green Day, a punky, witty, melodic San Francisco Bay area trio who became overnight stars in 1994 when this album, their third overall release and major label debut, catapulted them to the top of the pop charts. Led by guitarist/vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong and their secret weapon, powerhouse drummer Tre Cool, Green Day put '70s and '80s...
When Ween released their debut, God Ween Satan, in 1990, the question on most listeners' minds was "Are they serious?" Ten years later, White Pepper has folks asking "Are they joking?" No, as evidenced by the straightforward pop that makes up their eighth studio effort. This isn't a sellout, but a continuation of the sound explored on their previous release, The Mollusk. Songs like "Even If You Don't" and "Back to Basom" are respective nods to...

The Blasters emerged from the Los Angeles rock scene in the late 1970s. Led by brothers Phil and Dave Alvin, their contemporary twist on America's not-so-distant past set new standards for American roots rock. Frequent shows with fellow Angelenos X helped earn the band legions of loyal fans whose numbers continue to swell today. In August 2003, the original members reunited (once again) with both Alvin brothers intact. Captured on their first...
2002 album takes the dust and death image of the Goth rock band to a deeper level. Each track is dramatically heavier than their previous work, which allows the band to explore new levels of musical genius. Metropolis.
Sebadoh's two songwriters, the tragically inclined Lou Barlow and the testy Jason Lowenstein, have often been at musical odds. Their albums, several of which are indie-rock classics, are sometimes out of balance because of this dueling dynamic of lovesickness and aggression. With The Sebadoh the band finally evens out this discrepancy and strikes a more unified mood. "Color Blind" is an atypically introspective look at race relations. "Flame"...
Crime Scenes & Murder Songs is the latest release from Portugal's Dr. Frankenstein!

With Rembrandt Pussyhorse the Butthole Surfers didn't really get any weirder than they were on Psychic... Powerless... Another Man's Sac, they just became more entrenched in their own sonic world. Rembrandt is demented, for sure, but where it excels is in the realm of experimental technique, playing with tapes, overlaying disembodied voices and new instrumental combinations atop an increasingly warped rhythmic soundscape, and singing...
Japanese Version featuring a Different Tracklisting from the Eu and USA Pressings.
Reissue of the Punk Trio's Number One Selling Album Adds a Bonus Track ("Favorite Son", Originally Only on the Second "Rock Against Bush" Compilation) and a Bonus CD Recorded Live in Tokyo!
Formed in 1998, The Start was credited as one of the first bands of the new wave revival, this punk/synth rock band gained notoriety with their albums "Shakedown!" and "Initiation". Now poised to release their latest album, The Start have refined and nurtured their sound into a dancier version of their former selves. However, the punk and new wave elements are still visible through the pop sensibilities they've incorporated. They've toured...
