If "Boom Boom Pow" or "Poker Face" really ain't your bag (and let's be honest, they shouldn't be), you'll want to pay attention next Tuesday as not one but two bands with feet planted firmly in the sounds of Billboard's past drop new albums:
Rancid - Let the Dominoes Fall: The first new LP in six years from the semi-legendary Cali punkers who, though never chart-toppers like some of their early-90's contemporaries, encapsulate the spirit of true punk like Green Day never could. Plus ...And Out Came the Wolves is still a classic. Judging by the cover art, these guys are still rocking the wallet chains with pride. Love it. Check out their webisodes for a sneak peek.
The Sounds - Crossing the Rubicon: New Wavey Swedes The Sounds have yet to abandon their two primary assets - synth-drenched riffs, and lead singer Maja Ivarsson's legs. Case in point, the video for lead single "No One Sleeps When I'm Awake."
Other new releases include the latest from Elvis Costello, Dave Matthews Band, 311 and Iggy Pop. More on them later on...
