Godzillionaire – Diminishing Returns
Edvard Graham Lewis – Alreet?
Remember Edvard Graham Lewis? The backbone of Wire’s post-punk brilliance, his basslines and abstract vocals helped define that sharp, angular sound that made your headphones feel revolutionary in the late ’70s and early ’80s. This release is like a conversation between his past and future selves, tying his post-punk roots to an ambient, almost cinematic present.
Mogwai – The Bad Fire
Mogwai has been crafting sprawling, emotional post-rock epics since the late ’90s, and The Bad Fire continues their tradition of making music that feels like the soundtrack to your most introspective day. It’s got that Mogwai DNA—moody, atmospheric, and heart-stirring—but the vocals make it feel fresh and immediate.
Tigertailz – For A Few Dollarz More (The Archives Vol 1: 1984-1991)
Let’s take a moment to appreciate Tigertailz, the glam-metal heroes who brought glitter, grit, and ridiculous hooks to the ’80s scene. For A Few Dollarz More dives deep into the band’s early years, collecting demos, rare cuts, and even some unreleased gems. It’s like finding your old cassette box in the attic—pure nostalgia with a few surprises thrown in.
Ben Nichols and Rick Steff – Lucero Unplugged
Ben Nichols’s smoky drawl and Rick Steff’s understated piano work are the soul of Lucero’s Southern-tinged alt-country magic. On Lucero Unplugged, they strip it all down to the essentials—no drums, no distortion, just the storytelling heart of their music. Think of it as an intimate front porch session. If Tennessee or 1372 Overton Park made you a fan, this is your chance to hear those stories told in an even more raw and vulnerable way.
Boilermaker – Not Enough Time To Get Anything Halfway Done
If you were part of the ’90s emo underground—or even just emo-adjacent—you know Boilermaker as one of those cult bands whose influence far outlived their time together. Not Enough Time To Get Anything Halfway Done pulls together unreleased tracks and live recordings that capture their earnestness and intensity. For fans of The Thomas Press era, this is a long-lost postcard from a time when emo was less a genre and more a feeling.
Bonfire – Higher Ground
German hard rockers Bonfire have been delivering big, melodic anthems since the ’80s, and Higher Ground proves they’ve still got plenty of gas in the tank. This album leans into everything fans love—soaring vocals, catchy riffs, and just enough edge to keep it interesting. They’ve invited fresh voices into the mix, collaborating with newer rock artists to bridge the gap to Bonfire’s classic sound.
Labyrinth – In the Vanishing Echoes of Goodbye
Labyrinth has been Italy’s premier power metal export since the ’90s, blending operatic vocals, technical guitar wizardry, and progressive ambition into something uniquely their own. In the Vanishing Echoes of Goodbye is a concept album that dives into themes of loss and memory.
Various Artists – C92
The early ’90s saw British music exploding onto the global stage, and C92 captures the energy of the era with 61 tracks that showcase the best of indie and alternative rock. Featuring chart-topping bands like Radiohead, The Cranberries, Ride, The Charlatans, Inspiral Carpets, and Catherine Wheel, this collection bridges the underground with the mainstream.
Curated by Cherry Red Records, it’s packed with shimmering shoegaze, proto-Britpop, and experimental gems. Alongside the bigger names, the set digs deep into cult favorites like Moonshake and Wonky Alice, making it a perfect balance of nostalgia and discovery. With detailed liner notes and timeless tracks, C92 is an essential time capsule for fans of UK’s ’90s music renaissance.
