Next Week in Music | April 15-21, 2019 • Birthdays & Anniversaries
I wouldn't want to live in the past. But I still like to visit every now and then. Here are the musical birthdays we'll be celebrating and the anniversaries...
PJ Harvey | All About Eve: Original Music
No need to fasten your seatbelts. This is anything but a bumpy ride. In fact, PJ Harvey plays it surprisingly smooth on this primarily instrumental score to Ivo Van...
Johnny Thunders | Madrid Memory
Johnny Thunders was not exactly a consistent performer. Unless you count the fact that he was consistently inconsistent. One night the glam-punk legend could have it together; the next...
Pearl Harbor & The Explosions | Pearl Harbor & The Explosions Deluxe
Better late than never. Even this late.
It's been four decades since mischievously named singer Pearl E. Gates (actually Patricia Gilbert) and her San Francisco bandmates — who operated under...
The Budos Band | V
That's V as in 5. Though really, the title of The Budos Band’s latest album could just as easily stand for Victory. Chiefly because the underappreciated Staten Island crew...
Fontaines D.C. | Dogrel
"I'm gonna be big!" announces Fontaines D.C. frontman Grian Chatten on the first track of his band's misleadingly titled debut album Dogrel. One assumes he's being sarcastic. But he's...

Glen Hansard | This Wild Willing
Glen Hansard has always been willing to follow his muse wherever it leads. But it's never taken him anywhere quite this wild before. For his fourth solo album, the...
Norah Jones | Begin Again
Calling Begin Again Norah Jones’ seventh album might be a bit of a stretch. The disc has only seven songs. It clocks in at under half an hour. And...
John Paul White | The Hurting Kind
"What's so good about the good old days?" wonders John Paul White on the opening track of The Hurting Kind. Well, judging by the bulk of the album, plenty....
Broken Social Scene | Let’s Try the After Vol. 2
Well, you can't accuse them of not delivering the goods. In every sense of the term. It hasn't even been two months since Broken Social Scene released Let's Try...
The Chemical Brothers | No Geography
Nero fiddled while Rome burned. The Chemical Brothers are knobtwiddling while the world implodes. And what the hell, why not? After all, it's not like anybody expects Tom Rowlands...
SubmitHub Finds For Monday, April 8
Bknott goes under the knife, Agata Karczewska confesses her sins, Alexandros Kilias goes coconuts, Cody Randall crosses the border and Sail Into Night go dark in today's treats from...
