Featured Rock Albums
2017
Waxahatchee
– Out in the Storm
Out in the Storm is a document of self-preservation—loud, vulnerable, and utterly human. Waxahatchee doesn’t offer closure. Katie Crutchfield offers truth. And it stings in all the best ways. It’s louder than her past records, but the volume doesn’t hide a thing.
2009
The Dead Weather
– Horehound
Horehound is The Dead Weather’s sinister debut—a smoky, snarling fusion of garage rock, blues, and voodoo swagger. Jack White steps away from center stage to pound drums while Alison Mosshart prowls through each track with venomous charm.
1992
Megadeth
– Countdown to Extinction
Countdown to Extinction is Megadeth playing smarter, aiming for the jugular with a scalpel instead of a sledgehammer. Clean, crisp, and still furious. It’s what happens when you polish a blade instead of dulling it.
1981
The Go-Go’s
– Beauty and the Beat
What really gives Beauty and the Beat its staying power is how much it feels like a snapshot of real people having the time of their lives, even when the songs hint at emotional wreckage beneath the surface. It’s DIY punk polish painted in glossy pink graffiti.
