Callahan's third full length without the Smog moniker reveals another facet of his life, one that balances both his primitive self and his homeland.
Juan Edgardo Rodríguez blows with his rifle...The Kills Blood Pressures
With their newest record The Kills have trumped all the questions raised by their last, and they've gone about it with a darker, dirtier, bluesier and better set than a lot of people will want you to admit.

Back to basics for The Black Keys on the (nearly) Danger Mouse-less album, Brothers.

Sean Caldwell reviews...The Izzys Keep Your Powder Dry
The Izzys are a New York band who've given up searching for the new sound. No doubt mining the same influences as The Rolling Stones, The Izzys are looking backwards and southwards for their inspiration.
