by jhuik

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]
