Reviews
See All 
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Live at the Paradise Rock Club, 1978
Recorded via two-track by WBCN-FM Boston in time for the band’s sophomore album, this live LP is a rare contact high connected to the sage rage of their earliest punk-rock days.
Maya Hawke, Maitreya Corso
The actress and songwriter’s barely older, mostly wiser, and more wearily symbolic follow-up to 2024’s Chaos Angel sketches her commitments to love beyond the boundaries of her usual big ideas.
American Football, American Football (LP4)
Further expanding the majesty and swell of their sound, the Midwest emo icons’ widescreen fourth LP flows with darkness, morbidity, emotional distress, and a newfound sense of hope.
