Digital release of the now out-of-print debut from Adam Kesher. (It never came out on vinyl.) Y'all might remember Adam Kesher's first appearance at the Lab from their rock cover of Para One's rave anthem "Dun-Dudun" on Institubes, but this EP is...

"Springfield" is one of the last compositions Arthur Russell (Dinosaur L, Loose Joints) wrote in his all too short lifetime. Arthur recorded over four hours of tracking with the intention of collaborating with a producer for completion. It never happened until now...

Bad Brains' first LP from 1981. Crazy DC rastas playing whiteboy hardcore. And just like in basketball, the black guys run shit. Considered by many as one of the best hardcore LPs ever, the Bad Brains self titled debut brought a new...

Second album from Bloc Party, and that means it's time for the haters to start crying "sophomore slump!" Don't think anyone arguing that point will have a leg to stand on with A Weekend In The City, though: whereas many bands play...

A nice little companion EP to Bloc Party's Silent Alarm album. I'm guessing these are outtakes or leftover B-sides, but really they're solid enough to be album tracks. "Storm and Stress" starts out with guitars straight out of an old Capcom soundtrack,...

It feels like The Bumblebeez (aka Bumblebeez 81, but not to be confused with The Bees or Band of Bees) have been around forever, so I was surprised to find out that this album from late 2007 was actually their debut long...

"Bonafied Lovin" spawned no less than 4 separate vinyl singles, all with differing tracklistings. This digital release shares the same line-up as the Turbo single plus the unreleased Tough Guys mix (a pretty cool 80s pop version). For the fuzzy...

Dave1 and P-Thugg return to the album game after a few years of live shows and mixtapes, and they're sounding fresh as ever, proving why they're the shiny superheroes of the Vice roster. (These guys have funk laced in their bones like...

Chromeo consists of two guys from Montreal, Dave 1, Vice magazine's music editor, and his boy Pee Thug, one of the other guys at the Audio Research label. The record is also on Vice's record label, and that magazine's hating track record...

From the Avalanches, to AC/DC and especially to Kylie Minogue, Australian exports always manage to capture my man Roger Yamaha's heart. So when we got in this "Future" single by Melbourne's Cut Copy, it wasn't hard to guess who would be first...
