New Compact Discs

The second album from Heavy Metal band Avenged Sevenfold. In this album, the band transitions from their original hardcore sound of the first album, to their signature metal styles of the latest albums.

Avenged Sevenfold blazes a bold new path with it's debut major label album, CITY OF EVIL. Fusing punk with melody, metal intensity with an adventurous spirit, the drama and darkness of AX7 moves effortlessly from his powerful vocal punch to thick cascading melodies, from loud and fast to epic. The first single is "Bat Country."

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables remains as relevant, biting and brilliantly inventive today as on release. What set it apart was it's collision of rage, absurdity, and musicianship. Dead Kennedys emerged fully formed: Jello Biafra as provocateur; East Bay Ray with his surf-noir guitar; Klaus Flouride anchoring the low end with his unique bass playing. Remastered from the original tapes, with the same rawness, urgency, and barely-contained chaos. Few debuts define both a band and an era.

With her new album Trespasser, Grace Potter introduces a beautifully unruly cast of characters who step into forbidden spaces with absolute abandon. As the spiritual sequel to 2023's Mother Road, the four-time Grammy nominee's seventh studio LP continues the kaleidoscopic storyline shaped by her many road trips from her Topanga Canyon home to her part-time residence in her native Vermont (a journey she's made eight times in the last five years, usually on her own). But while Mother Road was born from a desperate need for solace in the midst of emotional freefall, Trespasser reveals an artist firmly anchored in her singular vision. Produced by her husband and frequent collaborator Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer, Slash) and recorded in a cross-country journey beginning at her home in Topanga with Benmont Tench, continuing in Nashville with Mother Road session players (members of Cage the Elephant, Kings of Leon, and Train), and completed in Vermont with members of her longtime live band, the album echoes it's origins with a wayward sound that spans from stripped-bare soul to cosmic country to hellraising rock & roll-all while orbiting Potter's force-of-nature voice and lavishly imagined storytelling.

From her early days as a So You Think You Can Dance finalist to becoming one of the defining voices of modern pop, Canadian singer, songwriter, and dancer Tate McRae has carved out a singular path. Available on CD for the first time in a premium 4-panel digi-sleeve, 'The One Day LP' captures the foundation of her signature songwriting and evocative vocal style.

This 9-song collection features her breakout hits "One Day" and "Teenage Mind"-tracks that have amassed over half a billion streams to date and each earned an official RIAA GOLD certification. With over 15 billion total career streams, a TIME100 Next honor, and her album ('So Close to What') debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, McRae has proven herself to be a dominant chart-topper and a natural-born performer. Blending raw, diary-honest vulnerability with the energy of a global pop star, this essential physical release is the definitive first chapter of Tate McRae's story.

This Mirror Weighs a Ton, Interpol's first album in four years and debut for Partisan Records, finds the band turning inward while continuing to move forward. Across the record, reflection, distortion and perception become a lens through which familiar shapes are refracted into something slightly alien, as if seen through a different kind of light.

Katseye / WILD [WILD HEART VER.] Katseye's third EP, WILD, via HYBE x Geffen Records, marks the start of an electrifying new era. Shaped by a defining two-year journey, the project captures the feeling of a wild ride fueled by growth and transformation. Moving beyond the beautiful chaos of their last chapter, WILD leans into something more euphoric and untamed. Rooted in self-discovery and self-determination, Katseye embraces every version of themselves, resulting in a project that feels open, boundless, and entirely their own. Exclusive Components: Photobook, CD-R, Group Photocard, Sticker, Photo Strip Frame, Plastic Keyring, 1 Photocard (random, 1 out of 5, standard CD Wild heart ver. Photo.)

Set against the vibrant pulse of one of the world's great music capitals, More Than We Ever Imagined captures Twenty One Pilots at a career-defining moment. Recorded during the band's huge Mexico City headline show on The Clancy World Tour, it documents an unforgettable performance with 65,000 fans at Estadio GNP Seguro. There's real scale here, but also the connection that makes Twenty One Pilots such a compelling live band. A powerful snapshot of a major tour, in a city that knows exactly how to raise the volume.

Malcolm Todd's debut album available as a Vinyl LP. Featuring the hit single "Chest Pain".

2022 release. Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus formed Boygenius after booking a tour together, but the trio had subconsciously been in the works for longer than that. Through a series of tours and performances together, and chance encounters that led to friendships - including Bridgers' and Dacus' first in-person meeting backstage at a Philadelphia festival, greenroom hangouts that felt instantly comfortable and compatible, a couple of long email chains and even a secret handshake between Baker and Dacus - the lyrically and musically arresting singer-songwriters and kindred spirits got to know each other on their own terms. "A long time ago, before I even met Phoebe, Julien mentioned that she had a pipe dream of starting a band with both of us," says Dacus. "Then we booked this tour and decided the time was right."

Can a self-portrait be a collage? Can empathy be autobiographical? What's the point of living if we're not trying to understand all the horror and humor that surrounds everything? These are a few of the questions lurking under the bleachers of Wednesday's new album Bleeds, an intoxicating collection of narrative-heavy Southern rock that-like many of the most arresting passages from the North Carolina band's highlight reel so far-thoughtfully explores the vivid link between curiosity and confession. Bleeds is not only the best Wednesday record-it's also the most Wednesday record, a patchwork-style triumph of literary allusions and outlaw grit, of place-based poetry and hair-raising noise. Karly Hartzman-founder, frontwoman, and primary lyricist-credits Wednesday's tightened grasp on their own identity to time spent collaborating on previous albums, plus a tour schedule that's been both rewarding and relentless. "Bleeds is the spiritual successor to Rat Saw God, and I think the quintessential 'Wednesday Creek Rock' album," Hartzman said, articulating satisfaction with the ways her band has sharpened it's trademark sound, how they've refined the formula that makes them one of the most interesting rock bands of their generation. "This is what Wednesday songs are supposed to sound like," she said. "We've devoted a lot of our lives to figuring this out-and I feel like we did." Just like Rat Saw God, one of the defining rock & roll records of the 2020s so far, Bleeds came together at Drop of Sun in Asheville and was produced by Alex Farrar, who's been recording the band since Twin Plagues. Hartzman again brought demos to the studio, where she and her bandmates-Xandy Chelmis (lap steel, pedal steel), Alan Miller (drums), Ethan Baechtold (bass, piano), and Jake "M.J." Lenderman (guitar)-worked as a team to bulk-up the compositions with the exact right amounts of country truth-telling, indie-pop hooks, and noisy sludge. More than ever, the precise proportions were steered by the lyricism-not only it's tone or subject matter, but also the actual sound of the words, as well as Hartzman's masterfully subjective approach to detail selection. Every image or scene is filtered through Hartzman's agile, writerly brain. The particulars deemed essential all contain revelations about Hartzman's specific obsessions and vulnerabilities, about the fragmented way she processes the world. Maybe sometimes the best way to locate truth or pain or dignity within your own life story, Bleeds suggests, is by crawling into someone else's.
