Reviews See All

Patterson Hood, Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams

The Drive-By Truckers frontman’s first solo album in over a decade both softens and complicates the alt-country band’s barroom-rock formula, distinguishing itself to mixed results.

Gaytheist, The Mustache Stays

The sludgy noise-punk trio brings equal levels of ferocity, fearlessness, and foolishness to their seventh albums as they did their first.

Various artists, A Tribute to Nirvana, The Songs of MTV Unplugged in New York

Celebrating 30 years of these stark live recordings with lo-fi pop covers from the likes of Current Joys, Casino Hearts, and Brad Stank, this comp overlooks most of the release’s key tracks.
