Maren Morris - "My Church"

G-Man

Black Flag - "Police Story"

It might not be polished and at times sounds like an ungodly mess, but if you're curious about getting into classic punk rock, I mean right at the roots, you should think about starting with Black Flag Damaged. 'Police Story' isn't the album's shining moment, but there's something about the venom behind Henry Rollins spitting out "They hate us; We hate them", a movement was born that day.

Van Morrison - "Why Must I Always Explain?"

G-Man

The Kooks - "Sway"

An unfortunate band name almost let this song be lost to obscurity for me. But it came on randomly while chilling in my backyard and it made me glad I ripped the album before giving it away.  Turns out they have some decent tunes, some cheesey ones too, but some good ones. The album now sits happily on my CD rack.

The Jerry Cans - "Ukiuq"

I'm a big fan of Canadian music. Definitely was one of my favourite categories when I was getting into music in the 90's. Always felt it should have gotten the same attention as the British Invasion. I still try to include new Canadian acts when i'm in a musical searching mood. The other day I discovered this band from Iqaluit, Nunavut. So now I introduce them to you

Khruangbin - "Maria Tambien"

Interesting how a trio with few lyrics can absolutely cram shows and give off a vibe that once was the staple to every hotel bar on evenings during the 70's and 80's. The only thing i'm missing here are the half-off drinks and free peanuts!
