Rewrites punk and indie musical tropes by way of the world we're now in. Like the Replacements, Nirvana, Pavement and many others, the band breaks out of the garage in a big, big way. [First added to this chart: 06/10/2016]

Wow, what a band when they hit it. Experiments and new ideas from a great band of players. Josh Klinghoffer's groovy breakthrough. One of the best bands ever pops off amazing grooves! This is one of The Peppers' best! [First added to this chart: 06/24/2016]

Some seriously fresh funkin rhythm and grooves in a tapestry of music. In a year of great hiphop this is my favourite so far. Might go higher. [First added to this chart: 02/21/2016]

Canadian alt-rockers successfully come back, huge. Reminds me in parts of Wilco's YHF. Yeah, it's good, damn it. [First added to this chart: 03/04/2016]
