Not too long ago a little-known group of retro rockers took North America by storm and became hometown heroes over night. Now, a year after the Rolling Stones contest that launched them to fame, the Sheepdogs are ready to prove themselves once again with their new self-titled album, released Sept. 4.

Propagandhi just keeps getting better. The veteran punk band from Winnipeg released their sixth full-length album, Failed States, Sept. 4 on Epitaph Records. The album is hard-hitting, it’s head banging and it fucks the system like all Propagandhi albums have since their first in 1993.

Tyler, the Creator and his cohorts have taken over The Internet.
That’s the name of the newest project to come from hip-hop collective Odd Future and Purple Naked Ladies marks the first album to be officially released under their own record label. It is a collaboration between two of the gang’s producers, Syd Tha Kid and Matt Martians. Martians is also a member of producing duo The Jet Age of Tomorrow who have released two free mixtapes of primarily instrumentals. Still, this is really the first time that these two members have taken a more primary role in the group.

Two years since their debut album Lungs in July 2009, English indie pop group Florence and the Machine released their second album, Ceremonials, in Oct. 2011 to a patient and loyal following. And for the most part, it was worth the wait. If this collection has its flaws, though, it’s in its lack of variety.

You might not know about Kid Koala, but you probably know some of the things he has worked on. The Canadian DJ has contributed to the scores of Shaun of the Dead and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, composed for the Cartoon Network and released three albums of his own, the last of which was Your Mom’s Favorite DJ back in 2006.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah ask a lot of their listeners. If the band wants the sort of reaction their name demands, the onus is on them to give the audience a reason to break out and shout. And of their past two releases, only one has yielded such a result.
After a four-year hiatus, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah have returned with a new release, Hysterical.

After a five-year hiatus since the release of the highly criticized double album Stadium Arcadium, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have a lot to prove with their latest release, I’m With You.
With over 60 minutes of music, the Chili Peppers’ tenth studio album, produced by Rick Rubin, has Anthony Kiedis claiming they are a “new band.” But fear not diehard fans, I’m With You is stamped with the RHCP’s signature sound. Just don’t count on them getting the socks back out.

Atlanta-based psychedelic metal heads Mastodon continue to step out of their comfort zone on their fifth album The Hunter.
The Hunter has some truly great moments; it’s too bad they’re shrouded by some mediocre attempts by the band to step outside their comfort zone into more accessible areas. I respect what Mastodon tried to do with this album and when it works it works extremely well, but all too often The Hunter tends to shoot itself in the foot.
