Today we have some big bands that came up with new records recently. Nick Saloman’s Bevis Frond sounds strong on Example 22. Los Lobos rock out with some of the best tunes they made in their long career on Gates of Gold. Electric Six continue steady stream of annual records with Bitch Don’t Let Me Die and Eagles of Death Metal are back after seven years of silence with Zipper. Juliana Hatfiled had a record with her trio early this year, but also, four other ladies from Boston called Potty Mouth emerge greatly inspired by Juliana. Finally, our friends in Perth Australia, Zerodent, are trying to find home for some newly made recordings, and we sample one of the songs.

After two shows when we reviewed some of the older “material”, in this show we have a chance to hear some of the hottest new releases of the current moment. Â Gentleman Jesse from Atlanta, GA and Judge Bone from Finland rock the (Light)house hard for the first time. Brimstone Howl, exciting new band from Nebraska (of all places) has a new album called We Come And Peace. They’ve been around for awhile, but we have them at this show for the first time (mark the calendars!). Eagles of Death Metal have a brand new album called Heart On and while it’s not surpassing the previous one, it’s still very exciting. Lucinda Williams has a new record called Little Honey and it’s probably the most electrified LP she ever recorded. And Little Lighthouse appreciates electricity more than anything else. On the other hand, Holly Golightly has gone acoustic on her new album with The Brokeoffs and that’s cool with us too. And, last but not the least – The Replacements put out the final four of their re-issues, fully equipped with cool bonus track, three of which we sample today.
