Rancid
Tomorrow Never Comes [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Eco-Mix LP]
Rancid - the legendary Bay Area punk rockers are back with their 10th studio album, Tomorrow Never Comes on Epitaph Records. Emerging from the blue-collar swamps of Berkeley, California, Rancid has now been a living, breathing punk rock band for over a quarter century.
Back in 1991, after the demise of their much beloved and still influential first band, Operation Ivy, founding members Tim Armstrong (vocals, guitar) and Matt Freeman (bass, vocals) decided to do the impossible start an even better band. Thus, Rancid. Signing with Epitaph Records, the band released their first album, Rancid, in 1993. Shortly thereafter, Lars Frederiksen (vocals, guitar) joined the band and they went on to release incredible records from Lets Go. (1994) to their classic - platinum selling And Out Come The Wolves. (1995). Drummer Branden Steineckert joined the band in 2003, cementing the line-up that rocks out till this day.
Seeing Rancid live is a life changing experience and steady touring is in the plan for 2023, kicking off in Las Vegas at the legendary Punk Rock Bowling Festival in late May - the band will hit Europe in June and the rest of the world soon after.
Through it all, Rancid has remained fiercely independent, never losing their loyalty to community or each other. Their music confronts political and social issues, while balancing personal tales of love, loss, and heartbreak with attitude. Rancid gives their listeners a community where everyone can belong. By carrying on the traditions and spirit of the original punk rock bands that came before, Rancid has become a legend and inspiration to punk bands that have come after. They are the living embodiment of East Bay punk. And if you dont know all this by now -- youre not playing their music loud enough!

As the band gets bigger, I try and keep that feeling alive, says the smiling singer. Every night I set up the merch and runit until its time to play. I want to be the guy that everyone says hello to. I want to thank every single kid that comes out for being there.

Stephen Stills is an unyielding force of nature.
The amount of music pouring out of this man couldve fueled a half-dozen bands. Following the June1971 release of his second solo album, Stephen Stills 2, he announced his first solo tour designed toshowcase all aspects of the ever-growing artist. Fans who were lucky enough to catch his historic debuttrek, dubbed The Memphis Horns Tour, were treated to the balladeer, the raving troubadour, theacoustic bluesman, the soul driver, and by far the most passionate music maker offering his goods acrossthe better auditoriums and arenas that summer.
This previously unissued live album, with performances hand-picked by Stills from his personal archives,was recorded on August 20 and 21, 1971 at The Berkeley Community Theater. This 3,500-seat venuemade this one of the most unique and intimate stops on the tour that included his iconic concert at NewYorks Madison Square Garden. In many ways, these Northern California shows in Berkeley sound as ifStills is leaving it all on the stage during a hometown gig.
In addition to The Memphis Horns, Stills is backed by a loyal cast of friends, including his usual steadyrhythm sectiondrummer Dallas Taylor and bassist Calvin Fuzzy Samuelsalong with keyboardistPaul Harris, guitarist Steve Fromholz, and percussionist Joe Lala. Guesting on both nights of theserecordings was David Crosby, singing on his own nautical classic The Lee Shore, and the Stills-pennedYou Dont Have To Cry, a Crosby, Stills & Nash favorite.
The music on these groovestimeless and era-defining performances Word Game, Love The OneYoure With, Sugar Babe, Cherokee, among others, hasnt aged a day since they were captured ontape. This album, rather than being an artifact from a bygone era, sparkles and stimulates. It cajoles youinto thinking, feeling andmost importantlymoving. This is music thats been unearthed because itssimply too good not to be blasting out of cars and exploding from apartment windows and onto thestreets.
Stephen Stills Live At Berkeley 1971 is a cornucopia of priceless soundand all of it bears thedistinct and loving fingerprint of Stephen Stills.

Disposable Everything [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Strawbably Red LP]
Vinyl: $27.99 Buy

If credibility were currency, FAKE NAMES wealth would be off thecharts. Composed of Brian Baker (Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Dag Nasty), Michael Hampton (S.O.A., Embrace), Dennis Lyxzn (Refused, INVSN,The [International] Noise Conspiracy), Johnny Temple (Girls AgainstBoys, Soulside) and the newest member Brendan Canty (Fugazi, Rites ofSpring), the band is a veritable post-hardcore dream team.
However instead of rehashing the past, Expendables is a reinventionthat sees the band dialing back the distortion and leaning into themelodies. The result pairs their unparalleled pedigree with a popsensibility thats slightly unexpected and wholly satisfying. For our
last record [2019s FAKE NAMES]the general influences were 70s U.K.punk and power-pop; but it wound up with a little classic rock vibe aswell, like the Vibrators meets Aerosmith. We never saw that coming! ,Baker explains.
For Expendables the band enlisted producer Adam Atom Greenspan (IDLES, Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Baker explains, The pop influences are alittle more out front on this one and the production really helps it shine. It sounds more direct, more urgent.Expendables is the latest exchange in a musical conversation that spans four decades. Baker aptly refers to the lineup of FAKE NAMESas a mutual admiration society and says that once the five members got in the same room together, it felt as if they had already been inthe band together for years.

Caroline Rose
The Art of Forgetting [Audiophile Collectors Edition Clear Lenticular Cover 2LP]
Vinyl: $53.99 Buy
The time is now for Caroline Rose. Their last record, Superstar, was released on March 6, 2020. The record was critically acclaimed and positioned Rose as the next big breakthrough in music. Needless to say, the resulting pandemic grinded all momentum to a halt while at the same time throwing Roses personal life into turmoil. The result of that turmoil is the fuel that fired the creation of their latest album, The Art of Forgetting. With The Art of Forgetting, Rose took on the dual role of writer and producer. The album encapsulates the feeling of experiencing recent memories, having them turn into old ones and then ultimately forgetting those memories altogether. There is a romantic nature within the sonic landscape of this record. Tape effects and loops emulate the feeling of aging while the juxtaposition of modern acoustic-electronic textures, like lo-fi tape next to hi-fi granular synths result in some of their most mature and honest work to date.

Everywhere you look these days, hyper tribalism has taken hold. Those in power continue to use fear and hate mongering to further empower themselves, continuing to try to turn us against one another. Pick a subjectany subject, and those who wield power will do all they can to make it a divisive issue, encouraging people to pick a side, insisting that their viewpoint is the only correct one. This record is a critique of this dangerous status quo we are living in. - Disturbed
