Lady Lamb the Beekeeper
[M]aine native Aly Spaltro’s latest release as her alter-ego Lady Lamb the Beekeeper is titled Ripely Pine (out on Ba Da Bing Records) and it is a knock-out album from start to finish. Encompassing the energy of her live shows into a recorded offering might have been a

Grandchildren
[R]eally enjoying the first track off of Grandchildren’s new LP “Golden Age” out 5.7.13 on Ernest Jenning Record Co. For those of you that aren’t familiar, and you can include me in the bunch, Grandchildren was the solo project from the diminutive Aleks Martay (he’

The Thermals
The Thermals – Born To Kill [P]unk trio The Thermals are back at it with “Born to Kill,” a track that feels like it could have been pulled straight from my favorite album of theirs, The Blood, The Body, The Machine. It’s just under two minutes of pure unadulterated
