Projecting a full-bodied voice with every inch of her being, Dorothy Martin kindles a spark of hope into a fame as bright as the sun itself. The Hungary-born maverick and frontwoman of the LA band Dorothy brings gusto, grit, and glory back to hard rock, exuding superstar-size confidence coupled with the quiet resolve of an old school Western anti-hero.
Crockett's Island Records debut is a culmination of all that has come before, with the same unapologetic spirit, die-hard work ethic, and no nonsense honesty that has driven his artistry across his 14 previous studio albums. In the end, Lonesome Drifter takes stock of Charley's road in the rearview as it paves a path into the future.
Return To Zero sees the Chicago-based singer-songwriter-pianist creating a beautifully strange entangling of timeless rock 'n' roll and '70s-era dance music. Merging supremely heavy guitar riffs with lush and pulsating grooves, Francis constructed the album sans digital programming in keeping with his long-standing devotion to all things analog.
On Dead Channel Sky, Clipping texture-map the twin histories of hip-hop and cyberpunk onto an alternate present where the lost movements of 1980s and the 1990s are still happening: rave, trip-hop, hip-house, acid house, drum & bass, big beat— the detritus of a different timeline, the survivors of armed audio warfare.

Jason Isbell - Foxes in the Snow - Southeastern Records
Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Jason Isbell is one of the most respected and celebrated artists of his generation. The North Alabama native possesses an incredible penchant for identifying and articulating some of the deepest, yet simplest, human emotions, and turning them into beautiful poetry through song. Isbell sings of the everyday human condition with thoughtful, heartfelt, and sometimes brutal honesty.
After releasing multiple albums and touring the world with his band, the 400 Unit, Isbell will begin 2025 with a change of pace. He will hit the road on his own, performing solo this winter and early spring at historic music venues across Europe and the US. In conjunction with these much anticipated shows, Isbell will be releasing a new album featuring only his voice and an acoustic guitar, an all-mahogany 1940 Martin 0-17. These recordings further demonstrate his pure talent as a songwriter and musician. Produced by Gena Johnson and Jason Isbell, and recorded at Electric Lady Studios in NYC, ‘Foxes in the Snow’ is set to be released on March 7th.

What's New 3-7-25
Recorded entirely on the same all-mahogany 1940 Martin 0-17 acoustic guitar, and in just five days, the virtuoso guitar playing and arresting vocal delivery on Foxes In The Snow is some of the most impressive of an already remarkable recording career. Isbell is one of the most highly lauded songwriters of his generation, and this stripped-back, bare-bones format is well suited for his talent for storytelling and his consummate musicianship.
This Side of the Island (co-produced by Aaron Dessner of The National) boldly turns away from the folk-rock vibes of his two previous records and introduces a groovier, bass-heavy, modern sound - a sound undoubtedly influenced by several decades of music. Inspired by events in Hamilton's personal life, the album's lyrics showcase his unrelenting optimism and biting wit and as they consider heavy themes of solitude, love, loss, and resilience.
Hymns in Dissonance is unashamedly brutal. Coming with the spiritual successor to 2008’s murderous This Is Exile, Whitechapel don’t hold back. It’s still a product of the present though, and the band’s updated skillset since their second album allows them to seamlessly revisit old territories, while doing so with a firm eye on their present capabilities.
The Godfather of K-Pop has always commanded the attention of the biggest names in music. Even after a 12-year break, that hasn’t changed, with guitar solos from disco legend Nile Rodgers, co-writings with US hitmaker Diane Warren (Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey). übermensch is firmly on par with G-Dragon’s best work and yet more proof of his unwavering greatness.
Throughout a vibrant and bold musical career full of cultural impact, Lady Gaga remains one of the most daring and innovative artists shaping modern pop. Returning with her unique pop sound and electronic roots, Mayhem circles back with old-school Gaga bangers— intense and ominous, unsettling yet buoyant, and fearless as ever.

New Release Round-Up 02-28-25
Architects - The Sky, The Earth & All Between - Epitaph
ARCHITECTS are back and charging forward in the heavy rock world with their latest sonic masterpiece, The Sky, The Earth & All Between. After two relentless years on the road—featuring massive European summer tours with Metallica and top billing at festival stages across North America, from Sonic Temple to Aftershock—the band has returned to the studio to deliver their most powerful collection of songs yet.With the creative force of Jordan Fish (Bring Me The Horizon) behind the boards, ARCHITECTS have captured the explosive energy of their live performances while elevating their signature melodic edge. This album reflects the perfect blend of raw intensity, emotional depth, and innovative production. Already making waves, singles like “Curse” and “Seeing Red” have drawn rave reviews from Metal Injection, Alternative Press, and Loudwire. Idobi crowned “Seeing Red” an “anthem powerhouse,” and the track’s global success landed it in the top 10 of charts worldwide—amassing over 45 million streams along the way. The Sky, The Earth & All Between builds on the momentum of their 2022 album, the classic symptoms of a broken spirit, which stormed to the top of the UK Rock and Metal Charts. With this new release, Architects are once again set to push the boundaries of modern heavy music, cementing their status as one of the most exciting and essential bands of our time.
Lola Young - This Wasn't Meant For You Anyway - Island
Lola Young - "This Wasn't Meant For You Anyway" [Clear LP] "Here is my first-born child, a fuck you to all my exes, and basically me just trying to figure out some shit openly and honestly on record. First of many and if you don't like it, then this wasn't meant for you anyway." - Lola Young This Wasn't Meant For You Anyway marks a remarkable shift in Lola's sound as an artist. Recorded in LA and produced by friend and collaborator Solomonophic (Remi Wolf, BROCKHAMPTON, Dominic Fike), This Wasn't Meant For You Anyway is a multi-faceted, fearless concept. As irresistible as it is unexpected, Lola's album is crackling with kinetic energy and lyrically fueled by rage, passion, narrative flair and comedy derision. A contemporary break-up album, This Wasn't Meant For You Anyway encapsulates the sound of what it means to be young and in constant romantic chaos. Released in June 2024, the album is now available on clear vinyl.
