Named after a type of blotter acid, TAD's second album 8-Way Santa got a little lost in the shuffle of the 1991 Rise of the Grunge Hunx, but that certainly doesn't diminish it's pounding potency.

Post-post punk dance madness with At the Hotspot - the fourth album from (mostly) British band Warmduscher. Stuffed with hypnogogic funk reminiscent of decadent 1970s Fear City and Miami, At the Hotspot is just as much fun as it is absurd.

A celebration in simplicity. On her fourth album, 2021's Cool, Colleen Green makes catchy, colorful melodic magic out of songs largely structured with restraint. I love this album so much.

The Dillards were the first band to bring the backwoods shredfest genre known as bluegrass out west. Within one year of their arrival in Los Angeles in 1962, The Beverly Hilldillards landed a recording contract with Elektra, a supporting role on the Andy Griffith Show and released Back Porch Bluegrass - fifteen metallic-acoustic rippers that serves as a fantastic introduction to traditional bluegrizzle.

The central African Republic of Cameroon is partially located in the Congo Basin - one of the greenest lungs in the world - but nevermind botanicals and giant frogs, we're here for the funk. Jean Marie Taim and Maurice Foty Kembiwo aka J.M. Tim & Foty, were a Cameroonian musical duo that released a series of funk-infused banger LPs in the late 1970s - and we shall explore and enjoy the first of those.

Def Leppard's fourth album Hysteria is a hit machine - one of the biggest selling albums of all time. Released in 1987 and armed with seven hit songs, 'Thriller with a Mullet' was the biggest adversary to the emerging Hair Hunx dynasty at the time and continues to soundtrack our lives and pad cover band setlists to this day.
