Hybrid Theory is the debut studio album by American rock band Linkin Park, released on October 24, 2000 through Warner Bros. Records. The album was a huge commercial success, having been certified Diamond for sales of over 11 million units in the United States alone as of 2010, peaking at number two on the Billboard 200, and also reaching high positions on other charts worldwide.

Sydney singer-songwriter Celia Pavey first tasted fame in 2013 when she stunned judges on Australia’s The Voice and finished third. With Perennial, she reenters the spotlight with a sound and style so artful and adventurous that her TV days feel like a past life. It's a particularly exciting debut thanks to a cool contrast between modern electronic instrumentals (“Lady Powers”) and Pavey’s goose pimple-inducing voice, which floats between Kate Pierson, Sinead O’Connor and Lorde.

Nicole Atkins' fourth album, Goodnight Rhonda Lee, was born from a period of transition for the singer and songwriter, and it comes with a few firsts. For one, it marks her debut for Single Lock Records, an Alabama label co-founded by the Civil Wars' John Paul White. During its development, she pulled up roots and relocated from her hometown of Asbury Park, New Jersey to Nashville, Tennessee. On the advice of friend Chris Isaak, she also made an effort to write songs that showcase what sets her apart: those rich, classic vocals. To underscore that effort, she sought out a new production team that makes a lot of sense on paper.

Few rock & roll records rock as hard or with as much originality as the Pretenders' eponymous debut album. A sleek, stylish fusion of Stonesy rock & roll, new wave pop, and pure punk aggression, Pretenders is teeming with sharp hooks and a viciously cool attitude. Although Chrissie Hynde establishes herself as a forceful and distinctively feminine songwriter, the record isn't a singer/songwriter's tour de force – it's a rock & roll album, powered by a unique and aggressive band. Guitarist James Honeyman-Scott never plays conventional riffs or leads, and his phased, treated guitar gives new dimension to the pounding rhythms of "Precious," "Tattooed Love Boys," "Up the Neck," and "The Wait," as well as the more measured pop of "Kid," "Brass in Pocket," and "Mystery Achievement." He provides the perfect backing for Hynde and her tough, sexy swagger. Hynde doesn't fit into any conventional female rock stereotype, and neither do her songs, alternately displaying a steely exterior or a disarming emotional vulnerability.

So Reunionunion and their new album, Perspective, is filled with wonderful sounds. Like someone actually listened to the noises they were emitting before they pressed the record button. It’s a bit shoegaze-y, but really not as stoned. “Rock alternative goth indie new shoe gaze” says the page. Two guys – Patrick Savage and Adam Watkins. Two. Sounds like more. Ironically, could it use a bit more production here and there? Yes, possibly. But they have built something that is atmospheric and dreamy, and the best songs just feel so good, like a weird little book you found on the last shelf in an empty library. And it’s all filled with this driving energy, even in the more delicate songs.

Bringing you the psychedelic sounds of Michigan, this is our 4th full album release. "Stone of Madness" prominently features some different experimentation in sound & the introduction of Mellotron to the mix. Andrew takes lead vocals for the first time on "The Trip" and Chantelle pens another song with "Ghost World". Duncan is at the helm as producer and arranger & 10 out of 12 songs are written by him.

Secure Escape is a band containing three musicians; Jukka Wagnholt on vocal and guitar, Martin Zinck on drums and backing vocal and Jan Rasmussen on bass. ´Turnpoint´ is the first album by this trio and the style is very raw, unpolished and sometimes even de-tonal noiserock.

Who says you can't make a great record in one day – or night, as the case may be? The Trinity Session was recorded in one night using one microphone, a DAT recorder, and the wonderful acoustics of the Holy Trinity in Toronto. Interestingly, it's the album that broke the Cowboy Junkies in the United States for their version of "Sweet Jane," which included the lost verse. It's far from the best cut here, though. There are other covers, such as Margo Timmins' a cappella read of the traditional "Mining for Gold," a heroin-slow version of Hank Williams' classic "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," "Dreaming My Dreams With You" (canonized by Waylon Jennings), and a radical take of the Patsy Cline classic "Walkin' After Midnight" that closes the disc. Those few who had heard the band's previous album, Whites Off Earth Now!!, were aware that, along with Low, the Cowboy Junkies were the only band at the time capable of playing slower than Neil Young and Crazy Horse – and without the ear-threatening volume.

Lust For Life is Lana Del Rey’s fifth studio album, following 2015’s Honeymoon. The album is a body of work created by Del Rey and long time producer and collaborator Rick Nowels, along with the comeback of Born to Die producer Emile Haynie. It is rumored to include some exciting guest featured artists. She described the aesthetic of the album as a “Retro sensibility with a futuristic flare,” adding. I love the sound of the record, it has everything that I love sonically. I made my first 4 albums for me, but this one is for my fans and about where I hope we are all headed.

Bear Worship is a celebration. It's about positivity and realism, love and friends, passion and nostalgia, and the need for creativity.

Lemuria might not sound like they are from Buffalo, NY, but the band was proudly birthed there, following the legacy of an oddly eclectic, if not eccentric, music scene. When you loosen your ears to the sugary indie-pop, you'll discover discordant notes, odd time signatures, and brutal riffs creating menacing yet catchy music. Their most mature and best effort to date, The Distance Is So Big was recorded at the Magpie Cage with J Robbins (Against Me!, Jawbreaker, The Promise Ring) earlier this year.

“Emerald Portal is the brainchild of Thomas Ouziel and Brad Rundblade, two musicians, who at a young age immersed themselves into all aspects of art. As a sound designer and screenwriter, respectively, their music is heavily influenced by their cinematic backgrounds. Emerald Portal seeks to make engaging music that not only tells stories, but transports listeners.”

Monologic is the debut LP from New York-based dream pop band First Blush. These highly textured, synth-heavy tracks will engulf you with melancholy, nostalgia, and hope.
