Hey growers, once again we’ve got some suggestions for the soundtrack to your hydroponics lifestyle. This week we’ve got five interesting groups - some veterans and some relative newcomers. It’s a little bit of a mixed bag, as usual, but we’re kicking things off with the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers and following up with a couple of other bands who have made their way from the underground to major labels. And we’ve got another couple of groups, each with just their second full lengths recently released. Now let’s get to what’s been rocking us at Rosebud Magazine this week.
We’re doing something a little different this week here in Hot Stuff. That’s right, ya’ll. This week there’s no pop, no metal, no hip-hop, no synthesizers. We’re getting’ down home with the twangiest edition of Hot Stuff ever. We know growers are a diverse bunch, so we’re accommodating the cowboys among you with some country, western, and bluegrass choices. We’ve also got some alt country selections for you who like your twang a little further from the mainstream. We’ll be back to our usual eclectic selections next week, but for now, grab your ten-gallon, your spurs, and saddle up.
Hey growers, this week we’ve got a kind of a retro-but-not-retro column of music picks for you. We’ve got an all punk and pop-punk edition of Hot Stuff. The roots of pop-punk go all the way back to the beginning, in the ‘70s, when bands like Buzzcocks and Generation X kicked out super catchy pop gems with a punk edge. The genre blew way up in the ‘90s when Green Day, NOFX, and Screeching Weasel rocked it out, each with their own version of three-chord punk. New Found Glory caught the tail of that wave, just as the genre was really going mainstream. Then Blink-182 led the charge over the airwaves, as pop-punk became the new arena rock. But even as the trend died, some bands stayed true, kept recording, and touring. And they’re still at it, while new bands continue to keep the flame burning on indie labels. We’ve got New Found Glory and some other great bands to check out this week, so dig in.
This week we've got another eclectic mix of music for the diverse personalities that make up the indoor growing community. We kick things off with alternative rock legends They Might Be Giants, and follow up with everything from melancholy folk to blasting hardcore. We've also got the future of indie rock plus one of the best post-hardcore records of the year. Don't miss it.
All right growers, it’s that time again. We’re sharing some of the records that have been rocking the Rosebud Magazine offices this week, and while they’re all fresh releases, I have to admit, not everyone has been on board for our first band here. That said, enough of the staff have been unable to get enough of Simple Plan that we’re leading with them. That’s right. In spite of the fact that none of us are teenage girls hanging out at the mall, the new album from the Montreal pop-punkers has infected us in the best way. But we’ll get to that soon enough. Rest assured that we also have a healthy dose of cutting edge music from a variety of genres, as usual, including some amazing electronic next-level goods from Vagrant Records. We’ve also got some punishing raw hardcore, dark synthpop, and slow as molasses doom rock. All that darkness ought to balance our accounts. But first off, let’s get to the pop!
Hot Stuff is back, and this time we’ve got another diverse mix of sounds to wind down summer 2011. We’re kicking it off with some classic rockin the form of a reissue from Ozzy Osbourne. We’ve also got some heavy hitters from other genres, including everything from Beirut’s worldly indie-folk to Fountains of Wayne’s catchy rock n’ roll. Throw in a little Mates of State and a dash of The Horrors and you’ve got a little something for indoor growers of all stripes.
It’s been an exciting musical week here in the Rosebud Magazine office. We have been bumping music that runs the gamut from mellow to heavy, fast to slow, melancholy to fun. First of all, the latest from Canadian singer-songwriter Dallas Green’s City and Colour is nothing short of amazing. Then we’re shakin’ it to the hook-laden sounds of a couple of European pop rockers, The Wombats and The Sounds. We’ve got a throwback to the ‘90s underground, and a couple of our favorite hard and heavy releases of the year. Check it out:
This week, we’ve got some of the best records of the year to share with you. Bon Iver has absolutely blown us away here in the Rosebud Magazine office, while Fucked Up are redefining a musical genre (or two) with another amazing full-length. We Pedro the Lion fans are also psyched on the new David Bazan record. And of course, no online edition of Hot Stuff would really be complete without some metal, which we bring to you this time in the form of Swedish ‘80s revivalists, Portrait. And there's still more music to highlight your summer growing season, so let’s get to it:
Hey growers, it’s time again for Hot Stuff, in which we present to you, our good reader, the records that have been rocking our socks off in the Rosebud Magazine office this week. We’re an eclectic bunch, so as usual, we bring you a range of goods. This week we’ve got everything from the indie-pop of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart to the alt-country of Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit to the militant grindcore of Looking For an Answer. Along the way, we check in with Canadian rockers Sloan, as well as Jesu, the project of extreme music old-schooler turned folksy post-metal artist Justin Broadrick (best known as a founding member of Godflesh). Oh, and the new Moving Mountains album might be the best of this bunch. So let’s get to it:
Welcome to our weekly look at what’s rocking here in the Rosebud Magazine offices. This week’s music picks are a bunch of can’t-miss records – from fist-pumping to hauntingly moving. As usual, we’ve got a blend of poppy and heavy, and all points in between. To kick things off, The Cars’ first album in 24 years, Move Like This, has been in steady rotation around here. Ric Ocasek hasn’t missed a beat. This stuff could seriously hang with any of The Cars' catalogue. Then we'll move on to some indie rock, some metal, some doom, and some punk. Buckle up. It’s another week spanning musical genres with hot new albums for hydroponics gardeners of all types – something for a variety of indoor growers. Let’s get to it.
