Dan Auerbach Keep It Hid
With Keep It Hid, Dan Auerbach does little to distinguish his first solo effort from his previous work with the Black Keys, much to the elation of Keys fans.

The Soundtrack of Our Lives Communion
They have a name which suggests they're the most vital band on the planet and in the age of single-track downloads, they're releasing a double album. It looks like The Soundtrack of Our Lives are full of ambition with Communion.

In the post-grunge nadir of the early nineties Swervedriver's first two albums – 1991's Raise and 1993's Mezcal Head – should have sealed their reputation as one of the finest British bands of the era. For a variety of reasons, they didn't. If ever a band deserved a re-appraisal it's Swervedriver.

Jay Reatard Matador Singles 08
Matador compiles Jay Reatard's semi-legendary series of sold-out limited edition 7" releases.
David Coleman jumps on the bandwagon...
Sine Star Project Building Humans
Like Mice Parade and Narcotic Thrust before them, Sine Star Project is an anagrammatical take on its chief architect, in this case one perhaps-already-pseudonymous Peter J Croissant.
