In March 2020, Jack Johnson reached out to Lee �Scratch" Perry to produce a dub remix album based on Jack�s most loved recordings. On August 29, 2021, the project was brought to a halt as Scratch departed this physical world. In 2022, Jack and Subatomic Sound System, Perry�s band of the last decade, connected directly and discovered they had all the pieces to bring Lee �Scratch� Perry�s three creations to completion. The LP also features dubs from Dennis Bovell, Scientist, Mad Professor, Nightmares on Wax, and more.

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 �Let�s 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 don�t know all this by now -- you�re not playing their music loud enough!

Avenged Sevenfold�s new album, Life Is But A Dream is a timeless work of art that blurs genres. Best served as a whole and consumed en masse to truly appreciate its musical breadth and sonic depth, it marks their boldest statement and most revolutionary work to date. Written and recorded over the span of 4 years, it was produced by Joe Barresi and Avenged Sevenfold in Los Angeles and mixed by Andy Wallace in the Poconos, PA. Inspired by Albert Camus� The Stranger, the album is a journey through an existential crisis; a very personal exploration into the meaning, purpose and value of human existence with the anxiety of death always looming. Immerse into this experience�

Moby�s second album on Deutsche Grammophon following 2021�s Reprise. Digging further into his catalog, Moby has reimagined fifteen of some if his most iconic tracks for his new album, Resound NYC. The album features tracks that he wrote between 1994-2010 while living in New York City, and the new versions feature a vibrant, brass-heavy sound.

DRAIN � the Santa Cruz, CA based hardcore band, whose energetic live shows have propelled them to peak underground popularity (during a global�pandemic) and they are ready to break wide open in 2023.

Living Proof is the band�s Epitaph Records debut and follow up to their 2020 breakout release, California Cursed. The new album is a testament to the�hard work and heartfelt ethos that�s at the center of DRAIN�s good-time psyche. There are a couple surprises on the album. Rapper Shakewell appears�on the track, �Intermission�. There�s also a cover of �Good, Good Things,� a nearly four-decade old melodic punk carol by the Descendents: slam-pit�forebearers to DRAIN if there ever were any. �It�s crazy because the song�s been out like forty years, but lyrically it�s a DRAIN song!� exclaims vocalist�Sam Ciaramitaro. �It just hits on everything that I love, that I�m about.�

What Sammy�s about is plenty wholesome. �I hope with this record that when someone hears it, it gives them hope,� beams. �If we were able to get�through the tough times, anyone can. I can�t wait to play these songs and hear a room full of people singing back to us. We�re what the title says, the�Living Proof.�

Produced by longtime friend and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Young (God�s Hate, Suicide Silence), then mixed by John Markson (Drug Church, Koyo),�this is hardcore for everybody. �As the band gets bigger, I try and keep that feeling alive,� says the smiling singer. �Every night I set up the merch and run�it until it�s 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.�

Jenny Lewis� fifth solo album, Joy�All arrives June 9th. Joy�All finds the singer-songwriter embarking on a new era, in a new town � and on a new label, as she joins the iconic roster of Blue Note/Capitol Records. While Joy�All pulls from a bounty of sonic inspiration � from classic soul to �90s R&B, as well as country and classic singer-songwriter records � the album�s rich, intimate and warm live sound is the hallmark of eight-time GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Cobb. Recorded at Nashville�s historic RCA Studio A, Joy�All includes new single �Psychos� and the previously released single �Puppy and a Truck.�

Niall Horan's `The Show' - his third solo album and first since 2020's chart-topping `Heartbreak Weather' - will be released on June 9, 2023.

The Jonas Brothers took the world by storm in 2019 with the surprise release of their critically acclaimed and widely successful single "Sucker" following a six-year hiatus.

Their next album 'The Album' will release on May 12, 2023 and was produced by Jon Bellion.

Nigerian-American musician, songwriter and producer Joy Oladokun announces her new album, Proof of Life, out April 28, 2023 on Amigo/Verve Forecast/Republic Records.

Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real are back with Sticks and Stones, releasing 7/14 via 6ACE Records / Thirty Tigers.

Closing Time foreshadows the distinctly lyrical storytelling and original blending of jazz, blues, and folk styles that�would come to be associated with Waits. It is on this debut album that Waits performs enduring classics of his career �Ol� 55� (famously covered by the Eagles), the heartbreaking �Martha� and the gentle acoustic folk of �I Hope�That I Don�t Fall In Love With You�. Reissued for the first time as a double LP to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the landmark debut with newly half speed mastering at Abbey Road Studios.

Stephen Stills is an unyielding force of nature.��

The amount of music pouring out of this man could�ve fueled a half-dozen bands. Following the June�1971 release of his second solo album, Stephen Stills 2, he announced his first solo tour designed to�showcase all aspects of the ever-growing artist. Fans who were lucky enough to catch his historic debut�trek, dubbed �The Memphis Horns Tour,� were treated to the balladeer, the raving troubadour, the�acoustic bluesman, the soul driver, and by far the most passionate music maker offering his goods across�the 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 venue�made this one of the most unique and intimate stops on the tour that included his iconic concert at New�York�s Madison Square Garden. In many ways, these Northern California shows in Berkeley sound as if�Stills 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 steady�rhythm section�drummer Dallas Taylor and bassist Calvin �Fuzzy� Samuels�along with keyboardist�Paul Harris, guitarist Steve Fromholz, and percussionist Joe Lala. Guesting on both nights of these�recordings was David Crosby, singing on his own nautical classic �The Lee Shore,� and the Stills-penned��You Don�t Have To Cry,� a Crosby, Stills & Nash favorite.�

The music on these grooves�timeless and era-defining performances� �Word Game,� �Love The One�You�re With,� �Sugar Babe,� �Cherokee,� among others, hasn�t aged a day since they were captured on�tape. This album, rather than being an artifact from a bygone era, sparkles and stimulates. It cajoles you�into thinking, feeling and�most importantly�moving. This is music that�s been unearthed because it�s�simply too good not to be blasting out of cars and exploding from apartment windows and onto the�streets.��

Stephen Stills Live At Berkeley 1971 is a cornucopia of priceless sound�and all of it bears the�distinct and loving fingerprint of Stephen Stills.

�Howie Edelson,�New York City,�December 2022

Morgan Wallen's 3rd studio album, One Thing At A Time, is set for release via Big Loud/Mercury/Republic on 3/3/23. Wallen's 36-song, deeply personal album combines his musical influences (country/alternative/hip-hop). With so much new music, the stage is set for his 63-date/30 stadium One Night At A Time World Tour. This album follows the success of his 4x platinum, Dangerous: The Double Album, which notched historical chart status at Billboard's longest running Top 10 album for a solo artist.

If credibility were currency, FAKE NAMES� wealth would be off the�charts. Composed of Brian Baker (Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Dag Nasty), Michael Hampton (S.O.A., Embrace), Dennis Lyxz�n (Refused, INVSN,�The [International] Noise Conspiracy), Johnny Temple (Girls Against�Boys, Soulside) and the newest member Brendan Canty (Fugazi, Rites of�Spring), the band is a veritable post-hardcore dream team.

However instead of rehashing the past, Expendables is a reinvention�that sees the band dialing back the distortion and leaning into the�melodies. The result pairs their unparalleled pedigree with a pop�sensibility that�s slightly unexpected and wholly satisfying. �For our
last record [2019�s FAKE NAMES]the general influences were 70�s U.K.�punk and power-pop; but it wound up with a little classic rock vibe as�well, 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 a�little 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 NAMES�as 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 in�the band together for years.

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 Rose�s 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.

Quinn XCII�s new album The People�s Champ features 13 brand-new tracks. The new album releases on January 27, 2023 and includes collaborations with Big Sean and more!

Andy Shauf�s songs unfold like short fiction: they�re densely layered with colorful characters and a rich emotional depth. On his new studio album Norm, Andy Shauf�s songwriting veers decidedly more oblique, hinting at sinister happenings and dark motivations. The result: an intoxicating collection of mellifluous melodies and beguiling lyrics. Levitating, synth-laden atmospherics drive Shauf�s storytelling on �Norm,� mixed by Neal Pogue (Tyler, the Creator).

I can't wait for you to fall in love with it."

The Heavy Heavy are led by lifelong musicians Will Turner and Georgie Fuller. The Brighton, UK-based band create the kind of unfettered rock-and-roll that warps time and space, sitting at the reverb-drenched collision of psychedelia and blues, acid rock and sunshine pop. As revealed on their gloriously hazy - and soon to be legendary - debut EP Life and Life Only, they breathe a wild new energy into sounds from decades ago, transcending eras with a hypnotic ease.

The Generation Of Danger is a concept album�about a genius scientist who gets fed up with�being swept under the rug. After the multi-billion-dollar corporation that employs him�takes credit for�his latest,�award-winning�invention, he snaps and retaliates against them�by forcing them to take part in the greatest�experiment the world of science has ever seen..

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 subject�any 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
