Bruce Hornsby returns with Non-Secure Connection, his most out-there set of songs in years, and Madeline Kenney is reminding us how awkward love can be on her sugary new LP Sucker’s Lunch.

PLUS! New music from garage rockers L.A. Witch from their upcoming LP Play With Fire!

Washington, D.C’s Ex Hex are back, and on their sophomore release It’s Real (Merge Records) they’re unapologetically kicking out the mother f$%$ing jams, taking no prisoners, and still leaving room for some serious emotional heft just for good measure.

PLUS! Synth-rock band Loi Loi (also from Washington, D.C.) has a new album entitled Me Dystopia (Blight Records), and we’re spinning its latest single ”Do You Want To Start A War” that will have your ass moving for days, and then some.
