After spearheading the alternative country movement with his band Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar pursued his vision with Son Volt, who recorded three landmark albums in the '90s before the groundbreaking artist put the band on extended hiatus and cut three solo records. Now back with his third Son Volt album of the decade, Jay Farrar has delivered what may be his finest work yet, American Central Dust. The new album exhilaratingly carries on the tradition of the Byrds, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Little Feat circa Sailin' Shoes, the Rolling Stones of Exile on Main Street and early R.E.M., with standouts like the exceptional "Down to the Wire," "Dynamite" and "No Turning Back." An epic lament for the heartland, American Central Dust is populated with readily recognizable characters, the most hopeful of them searching for love against a backdrop of rusted road signs and abandoned factories. Rarely does a musical work so powerfully capture the zeitgeist of its historical moment while also honoring the traditions of rock & roll with such rawboned grace
The latest full-length album from underground/indie-rap legend CAGE, aka CHRIS PALKO. The follow-up to Hell's Winter, his 2005 critically-acclaimed LP, Depart >From Me continues Cage's musical saga of a no-holds-barred, brutally autobiographical journey through his past and present. Plagued by abuse, institutionalization, drugs, and violence throughout his life, these nightmarish experiences have permeated his art and defined the music he makes today. Cage's music is truly reflective of a reality far stranger than fiction. On Depart From Me Cage illuminates the struggles he's faced upon entering a world that continues to be a source of loss and confusion. He's helped along in this task with production by El-P, F. SEAN (HATEBREED), the late CAMU TAO and also AESOP ROCK.

Thanks to their exciting live performances and gritty, honest songs on "Hometowns", this Canadian band earned a loyal following that began to grow. With no label or publicist, "Hometowns" caught the ears of bloggers across the country. They landed several festival and industry showcases (NXNE, SXSW, Halifax Pop Explosion, Pop Montreal, and more), and "Hometowns" became the highest selling eMusic Selects act in history. The band's inspiring DIY success story continues to gain momentum with glowing press reviews and sold out club dates in major US cities.
The long-awaited follow-up to their debut "Reality Vs. The Optimist". Stunning performance, brilliant production, and seasoned songwriting simultaneously propel this record to the same level as some of the most revered and groundbreaking albums to come out in recent years.

Those Darlins are a pop group, if they are any one thing, which doesn't mean anybody with ears can't hear the country and rock n' roll in their sound and stance. Or maybe this trio of young women (early twenties, although mo one's telling exactly), who live in a long stone's throw from Nashville, Tennessee in th college town of Murfreesboro, are punks straight out of London or Cleveland, 1977.
The Alchemist is one of the most sought after hip-hop producers in the genre today. His hard knocking drums and gritty east coast flavored rhythms have blessed the likes of Mobb Deep, Eminem, Nas, Snoop Dogg, and many others. After serving as Eminem’s in-house tour DJ, as well as executive producing the 2006 Shady Records platinum selling release The Re-Up, Alchemist is back with Chemical Warfare. This follow up to his highly successful first solo outing, 1st Infantry (almost 175,000 units sold to date), Chemical Warfare features appearances from Snoop Dogg, Mobb Deep, Jadakiss, Styles P, Twista, Fabolous, Juvenille, and many more. Entirely produced by The Alchemist himself, this release is sure to knock on every corner and every block across the country.
Recently, to the delight of their faithful following, the band elected to release the predominantly never-before-heard demos from the album under the title The Original Cowboy'. AGAINST ME's singer/guitarist Tom Gabel had this to say about the release: "Recorded and mixed in only a couple of hours, The Original Cowboy was only meant to be a trial run, but, listening to it today, there's a part of me that feels foolish for ever recording these songs a second time". Fortunately for their adoring fans, with the release of The Original Cowboy, we get to enjoy this momentous album in its original incarnation and judge for ourselves!
