The Pop Group – Citizen Zombie, album review by Joshua Reedy. (2015) My copy: 2015 press by Freaks R Us. Over 30 years had passed since The Pop Group’s dark, primitive and engrossing debut – a record so bold and distinctly paranoid that it still stands as a beacon of influence in the realm of […]
Pinkshinyultrablast – Grandfeathered. Review by Joshua Reedy. (2016) My copies: Limited 2016 press on pink and purple vinyl and limited 2016 press on “acid lollypop” vinyl, both by Club AC30. trailing their full-length debut by only a year, Granfeathered takes Pinkshinyultrablast’s signature shoegaze style and stretches it thin through prog-influenced songwriting labyrinths – while this […]
Pavement – The Secret History, Vol. 1 (1990 – 1992) – Review by Joshua Reedy. (2015) My copy: 2015 press by Matador. Pavement’s resounding success through the 90s as popularizers of sonically dry, lyrically humorous post-punk in the U.S. awarded them a fairly comfortable career when the time came to sign on with Matador. Pavement’s early […]
The Gun Club – Fire Of Love (1981) My copy: reissue from unknown year by Munster Records. Being a fervent student of punk, rockabilly and blues, Jeffrey Lee Pierce took it upon himself to arrange a shotgun wedding of the three styles. While punk spawned largely in post-blues exhaustion, the two genres showed more in […]
Yo La Tengo review by Josh Reedy. Yo La Tengo – I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One (1997) My copy: 2015 reissue by Matador. Though most people preferred the other 1997 album to prominently feature a major highway on its cover, I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One is still widely regarded […]
Thee Oh Sees – Carrion Crawler / The Dream EP (2011) Review by Joshua Reedy on Blue Cadet-3 A Music Blog My copy: 2022 reissue on magenta vinyl by In The Red Recordings. Twelfth studio album from ever-recording maniacs that make up Thee Oh Sees (or now just Oh Sees), Carrion Crawler / The Dream […]
Sonic Youth – Sister (1987) My copy: 2016 reissue by Goofin’ Records. From Blue Cadet-3 – A Music Blog Following Evol in ‘86, Sonic Youth released the middle child of their most famous three album run. Though it precedes Daydream Nation (their most famous release of the 80s and potentially of all time) by just […]
Xavier Anderson, Michael Rodriguez, and Ryan Kealty are Alliteration, a heavy alternative band from Poughkeepsie who are known for their blistering live performances. The trio released their full-length “Reject” near the end of 2021. I sat down with to discuss upcoming splits, pizza-shop shows and their recent signing to Paintbox Records. RRX: You guys have […]
Grampfather are a Kingston band with a prolific ability to dynamically blend the fuzzy, prodding guitar blasts of psych-rock with the addicting, cool melodies of indie-rock. Their latest release Gramppappies boasts an eclectic mix of hard-hitting tracks, from the distorted stabs of “Murder Hornets” to the gliding riffs of “Poppies.” The band has featured a […]
Dan Shapiro is a guitarist and vocalist in Builders, a band with a philosophy that matches Shapiro’s own fierce work ethic. Shapiro is also the owner of the Troy Speakeasy, a local venue that really puts the y in ‘do it yourself.’ Shapiro has been working on rebuilding what was once a stripped down, barren […]
