The Beatles didn’t stop producing fantastic music just because of the band’s 1970 disbandment. In fact, and this is a controversial one, some of the best stuff from Paul, John, Ringo, and George came during the post-Beatles era.
That isn’t to challenge The Beatles in anyway. The Beatles are The Beatles. They’re the best. If someone asks for your top five favourite bands you don’t even bother mentioning them because they transcend above petty ranking systems. No, it isn’t a challenge. It’s just a reminder that upon going solo, the fab four were still the world’s very best musical artists.
McCartney went on to have immediate massive success with the band Wings, Lennon put out some singles that rival even his sixties Beatles stuff in terms of popularity, Harrison continued to solidify himself as one of music’s most talented guitarists and songwriters,...

Though the umlaut-laden and hard-to-pronounce words “Hüsker Dü” are the first to come to mind whenever Bob Mould surfaces in polite conversation, Mould’s work with his post-Hüsker group Sugar is equally iconic. Starting with 1992’s unstoppable Copper Blue and culminating with 1994’s File Under: Easy Listening, Mould—along with Dave Barbe and Malcolm Travis—created music that both defined and transcended the ’90s alt-rock landscape. And now, because that very same ’90s alt-rock landscape is 20 years old, the Sugar catalog is getting the standard reissued, remastered, and expanded treatment. On July 24, Merge Records ...

If you'd like Jack Johnson better if he weren't such a negative nellie, or if Colbie Caillat would be up your alley if it weren't for her gangsta existential angst, then Jason Mraz's "Love Is a Four-Letter Word" is the unremittingly sunny, determinedly stress-free album for you. Easy listening doesn't get any easier than Mraz's fourth album. The sprightlier Mraz of the mid-2000s has been kidnapped and replaced by a guy who has no use for pop-rap vocal rhythms or silly wordplay. Mraz was never exactly hard-boiled, even back in the days when...

Imagine Paris with its picturesque streets, glorious sights and smells, the incredible landmarks and romance in the air. Beautiful, eh?
Now forget all of that and listen to Comity who, according to their Facebook, is ‘an extreme rock and roll band fromParis’. These guys sound nothing like anything you’d associate with the city of love. This 4 track, 50 minute Ep is the music that will play during Armageddon, it is the soundtrack to the apocalypse, and it’s bloody brilliant.
Before I start reviewing this, if ten-minute-plus prog metal clusterfucks aren’t your kind of thing, then don’t even attempt to listen to this. On the other hand, if you’re ready to be challenged, intrigued and hopefully enthralled, step right up. Comity combine death metal, hardcore, mathcore, sludge, post-rock, post-metal and probably about a dozen other genres if you listen hard enough.

While Glasgow-based musician Richard Youngs is a great guitarist, he’s never used the guitar as a crutch. But on his latest full-length, Amplifying Host, he takes a pass on the glitches and drones that infest much of his sprawling catalog and leans heavily on the six-string. It doesn’t make the disc any easier to listen to. Easy listening isn’t Young’s wheelhouse, though, and Amplifying Host’s gaunt improvisation and gauzy textures orbit atonality even as they sketch the silhouette of a haunted, dust-blown folk. Drawing from his recent collaboration with legendary recluse Jandek—not to mention ...

For many, "metal" might as well be a swear word. People wrinkle their noses at the term, and treat it like some wholly unapproachable genre fraught with Cookie Monster vocals, overwhelming guitar riffs, etc. "Yeah, yeah, I know metal," you might say. But with all due respect, you probably don't. And neither do I, really—I'm only in the early stages of an appreciation I can tell is going to take a while to fully develop. Metal is a complex beast, far too varied to be pigeonholed into a simple description. Its sub-genres, from doom to thrash to sludge to so many others, open up a huge realm of possibilities. If you don't like one particular kind, there's a chance you may like another. Check out the playlist below for 10 arguably-metal songs. If you like what you hear, plug the bands into the All Music Guide or one of any...
