[imgfull] [/imgfull] Josh isn’t going to tell us this week’s theme, but we think it might have something to do with surfing. Maybe. Hear Weezer, The Fizzbombs, Pixies, and more while we imaginary swag surf together. Cowabunga, dude.
John Vesely, the man behind the ballads of Secondhand Serenade, returns as the same emotive musician with the album Hear Me Now.
[imgfull] [/imgfull] What happened to Lollapalooza 2004? We’re not quite sure, but we do know it never happened—until now. Josh is recreating the epic lineup that year with songs from The Flaming Lips, The Killers, and more.
It was a sad day in 2007 when Rufio decided to call it quits.
[imgfull] [/imgfull] WHO’S GOT THE HAIR SPRAY? The 80s live once more on that latest First Person, where Josh takes us through his favorite 80s movies and the songs that accompany them. Catch Cyndi Lauper, Oingo Boingo, and of course “Ghost Busters”.
New Jersey pop-punk outfit Man Overboard released an album Tuesday that every pop punk band will be trying to duplicate in the future.
New Politics ultimately sounds formulaic; it eventually lacks the initial pep that draws you into what this Danish band potentially has to offer. The songs are textbook from beginning to end; they are decent for what it’s worth, but there is no noticeable sheen in them. Many of the tracks, such as “Love is a Drug,†have their introductory moments of catchy beats or great bass lines, but that spark gradually fizzles.
California’s kings of summery rock anthems have released their third album just in time to beat the inevitable heat, and with Eureka the band have once again proven their ability to craft a timeless record collection of fun-in-the-sun jams.
[imgfull] [/imgfull] Remember back when you’d stop by the diner to grab a soda pop before the sock hop? Okay, well maybe you don’t, but these songs do. This week Josh plays The Drifters, The Chordettes, Sam Cooke, and more.
[imgfull] [/imgfull] If last episode was for punk rock, this episode is for good ol’ classic rock. Call your dad and gather ‘round your best speaker—we’re rockin’ the Grateful Dead, Simon & Garfunkel, and the Black Crowes.
