New releases: Tuesday, June 16
If there's anything we've missed with this brief highlight reel of today's new releases, hit us up in the comments.
Incubus' greatest hits collection Moments And Melodies is a two-disc affair. Disc one is the hits, disc two is b-sides and rarities. It contains nothing of their rap-rock roots on Fungus Amongus or S.C.I.E.N.C.E., so don't expect them to even acknowledge that they've been working anything other than the same hard-soft-soaring vocals pallet they've been using since Make Yourself.
Street Sweeper Social Club's self-titled debut is the biggest new record release this week. The band features Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine and Boots Riley of the Coup, and they've been receiving positive notices as the opening act for the Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction tour. The album doesn't feature their amazing cover of M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes," though. I guess we'll have to wait for a decent quality bootleg or iTunes exclusive on that one.
The Jonas Brothers' Lines, Vines And Trying Times means nothing unless you're under the age of 15 or have children in the same age range. Suffice it to say, it's as if a large corporation took Hanson over and hooked them up with Britney-level tunesmiths. They are wildly popular and are most likely only rivaled by Miley Cyrus in terms of selling power.
However, if you want your kids to listen to actual music made by actual kids, rather than the Disney-fied arena-pop from the Jonas Brothers, Tiny Masters Of Today present the follow up to their debut, Bang Bang Boom Cake, entitled Skeletons. It's a brother and sister on guitar and bass, with Russel Simins of John Spencer Blues Explosion on drums. Considering that Eyeball Skeleton is probably never going to make another record, this is the only place you're going to get garage rock performed by prepubescent siblings.
And of course, we'd be completely remiss not to mention Spinal Tap being Back From the Dead. If I have to explain what this is going to be, I pity you.
