New Music Friday 3/2/18

We're finally back after an unnecessarily long hiatus! Wes isn't less busy, but he guilted himself into doing it anyway! Sleep and health are secondary to being P R O D U C T I V E.

Andrew W.K. - You're Not Alone (RED/Sony)

With cover art from legendary painter Boris Vallejo, You're Not Alone is set to soundtrack the most wholesome ragers of the decade. Includes the fantastic singles "Music Is Worth Living For" and "Ever Again."

Titus Andronicus - A Productive Cough (Merge)


Gruff and grungy punk conceptualists release their fifth studio album, and first in three years.
