Motherhood - "Dear Bongo" | Album Review
The three-piece from Fredericton, NB have been touring both Canada and the US for several years, and they released their new album, Dear Bongo, right before heading out on another. This gives everyone in North America a chance to catch them live, and is it ever worth it, because the album doesn't so much take you on a ride as it does roll with you down a hill, laughing and shouting.

Guided By Voices - "Zeppelin Over China" | Album Review
Robert Pollard and his most recent ensemble of Doug Gillard, Bobby Bare Jr., Kevin March, and Mark Shue appear to be going through another renaissance. 25 years later, they are still putting out incredible, weird, and endlessly catchy rock and roll. The spectacular new double album Zeppelin Over China is a collection of soaring choruses and big riffs.

On “Illegal Backflip,” the trio slink through a sparse and desolate rhythm, dragging itself forward with mangled guitar tones and a polyrhythmic beat delivered at a stuttered pacing. There’s a degree of Slint, a touch of June of 44, and even maybe a few Kong references in the slow sprawl and detached progressions, but Beige Palace create disorienting punk in their own primal way.

Whelpwisher - "Stale Honey" | Album Review
The underground mainstay utilizes the new Whelpwisher release, Stale Honey, as a way of exorcizing the ghosts of songs past. Given Grigg’s record – years playing in Geronimo!, one ecstatic Future Biff EP, FCKR JR, and contributions to Milked – there is unsurprising naturality with every song, even demos.
