Terry Blade joins Preston Frazier to discuss his brutally honest, emotion-filled new album, ‘Ethos: Son of a Sharecropper.’

By harnessing his love for surf rock and other, disparate music forms all at once, Simon Hanes and his Tsons of Tsunami is making the case for why we should enjoy this audacious mixture of styles, too.

Released 45 years ago this month, UK’s trio-led sophomore effort ‘Danger Money’ is past due for a reevaluation.

Aerosmith’s debut may have sparked comparisons to the Rolling Stones, but ‘Get Your Wings’ arrived 50 years ago with a different approach.

By playing different songs after several more years of further developing their chemistry, Science Friction’s ‘No Tamales on Wednesday’ qualifies as a welcome official ‘new’ album by this long-defunct Tim Berne group.

‘What’s On Your Mind?’ continues to refine Projekt Gemineye’s gift for biting lyrics, slashing prog guitars and chest-beating drums.

If the propulsive, contemporary ‘Guitarra, Tabaco y Ron’ is a prelude to a full-length Conjunto Guantanamo album, bring it on!

The sounds made by Dave Harrington, Max Jaffe and Patrick Shiroishi on ‘Speak, Moment’ are the sounds of discovery, surprise and uncommon communion.
