Ursa Minor by Red Cloud

Ursa Minor by Red Cloud

Armed with thick, potent guitar sounds and a free form, stoner rock style, Red Cloud forges an original rock sound. On the latest album by the Oregon group, the songs range from the just-shy-of-heavy-metal opener to the spacey rock album closer.

Coming Clean by The Favorite Things

Coming Clean by The Favorite Things

The Favorite Things have an upbeat, twangy rock style which heavy draws influence from fellow Minneapolis rockers The Replacements, especially on the highly accessible title track “Coming Clean”. Further, this band also branches out with tracks like the fine country-fused “Friday Night in Tennessee”.

Home Alonely EP by OK Alright

Home Alonely EP by OK, Alright

Arkansas natives OK, Alright combine crisp guitar riffs, sloshy Elvis Costello-like vocals, good production and slightly inventive arrangements on Home Alonely. Highlights from this EP include the tracks “Always Moving” and the acoustic-laden closer “Pacific Northwest”.
