| REVIEW: A Place to Bury Strangers - Worship |
| |
APTBS sound like way too many other groups from the past and they waste the duration of a full-length tinkering with toys instead of writing memorable songs. For me the only great thing about this group is the guitar noise...which kills. |

| REVIEW: Ty Segall Band - Slaughterhouse |
| |
What’s so impressive about this album (besides the sex) is how Ty Segall Band is able to have such a multitude of influences without being overwhelmed or dominated by them. Too many bands nowadays put reverb on … well … everything, in an effort to create a retro aesthetic that often holds them back from making anything new. Ty Segall is clearly influenced by older rock n’ roll (and yes they use reverb heavy vocals), but they don’t let these influences become the crux of their band. |

| REVIEW: Chelsea Light Moving - “Burroughs” |
| |
The impact of Sonic Youth on American rock music cannot be overstated. They brought together the extremes: experimental NYC art and noise and pop culture - and made them hip enough for the hardcore kids. The band was a template for both their peers and followers so, with the band on hiatus, fans were left wondering what the next move would be. All the band members have side projects and solo albums, but we hadn't heard from Thurston Moore for a while. Moore is back now, and roaring out electric scuzz-jive with a brand new band called Chelsea Light Moving. |

| REVIEW: Holograms - “Monoliths” |
| |
The new single “Monoliths” from Swedish punk band Holograms is the best Joy Division song I’ve heard in a long time. |
