Sonic Youth – Rather Ripped (CD)

Sonic Youth is one of the most influential acts to still be playing music at this point of their career. How can they keep providing a bright light of brilliance to those individuals that will be creating bands in the near future? “Rather Ripped” starts out sedate, with “Reena” using a deadpan delivery by Kim coupled alongside a post-punk set of guitars that at times threaten to go into…

Somerset – Pandora (CD)

Some Girls – Heaven’s Pregnant Teens (CD)

Some Girls show another dimension to their…
