  • Sublime: Self-Titled

    Sublime: Self-Titled
    Jul 30 2026

    Over the decades, Southern California has bestowed humanity a treasure trove of iconic groups, albums, scenes, stories, and songs. But the territory’s desired way of life and one-of-a-kind ambiance was best musically depicted by a Long Beach trio’s self-titled effort that was released as a posthumous tribute to their fallen frontman.

    After bumming around the backyard party/club circuit for years, Sublime was set to enter a new era in 1996. In May, the band was primed to release their major label debut that summer after recording sessions in Austin, Texas. On a west coast tour, the crowd was in a frenzy of appreciation taking in live renditions of songs set to come off the new record. But lamentably, the band’s voice, guitarist, and soul would not live long enough to truly realize just how much his music would positively impact the world.

  • AC/DC: High Voltage

    AC/DC: High Voltage
    Jun 19 2026
    AC/DC is stripped, down n’ dirty, rock n’ roll as God intended. Heavy guitar riffs, rippin’ musical sequences, and lyrics so suggestive they would make Mother Teresa blush. The quintet from down under formed in Sydney, Australia, in late 1973. And after a myriad of early lineup changes, the band rounded into form 2 years later. 1975 would be a crucial year for AC/DC. The band released their first 2 studio albums under EMI in their homeland of Australia. The group’s first record, titled High Voltage, debuted in the Land Down Under on February 17th, 1975. Later that year, on December 1st, T.N.T. was made available for purchase in Australia and New Zealand. Atlantic Records saw the potential and inked AC/DC to a major label deal. In 1976, the band was ready to distribute their sound worldwide. So, with 2 records already under their belt, the Aussies decided to pick out the best of the bunch for their debut international album. Armed with new cover art but the same title as their Australian debut, AC/DC unleashed their first international record in Europe and the UK on April 30th, 1976. The supercharged High Voltage jumped across the pond and landed in the United States on May 14th of that year. The record consisted of 9 songs from the band’s first 2 home-country releases. 2 tracks would come from the original High Voltage, while 7 songs were pulled off of T.N.T. The album was primed to leave its mark on the music world. Some saw the group as an irritating skid mark fouling up rock as they knew it. While others, who would be vindicated many times over as AC/DC would go on to become one of the most successful, beloved, and enduring bands in history, welcomed this rockin’ stampede of renegades that masterfully balanced a dangerous demeanor with a light-hearted attitude.

  • The Ramones: Debut Album

    The Ramones: Debut Album
    Apr 23 2026
    In the mid-1970s, there was nothing about the rock n’ roll lifestyle that was relatable or obtainable for fans of the genre. The simple chord play and familiar song structure that dominated primitive rock music were things of the past. By the genre’s third decade, intricate and complicated instrumental play had fully taken a death grip on rock. During that same time, New York City had seen better days. The region was full of dilapidated buildings and sketchy characters. The era of The Rat Pack and Mickey Mantle running around the bright lights and big city was gone. It was now Travis Bickle’s Big Apple. And with the angst and frustration of New York literally and figuratively falling apart, a rocking revolution was taking place. Deep into the borough of Queens was the neighborhood of Forest Hills. And that is where a gang consisting of four guys donning leather jackets, tattered sneakers, and worn-out jeans formed to forever change what rock music could look and sound like. On April 23rd, 1976, The Ramones’ debut record was released to the masses. Their cover art was eye-popping, a black and white photo of the four guys leaning against a brick wall in their iconic punk rock garb. Inside the album sleeve contained 14 tracks that combined did not quite crack the half-hour threshold. But the foursome accomplished more in 29 minutes than some bands achieve in 29 years.
