The atmospheric psych-rock of Baltimore duo Beach House continues to win over swaths of fans, both on the road and from their studio albums (2015 saw the release of two albums including Depression Cherry, the group's second U.S. Top 10 effort). Now, they're taking time to look back on a new compilation. B-Sides and Rarities scoops up 14 non-album cuts, hidden tracks and outtakes in one handy collection. Spanning from the release of their debut album in 2005 and stopping a decade later at the
Review: "Singles: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Deluxe Edition"
A Tribute Told in Vignettes... Well, I don't like to reduce us to just being part of the "Seattle Sound." I'd like to think of us as expanding more. Like, we're huge in Europe right now. I mean, we've got records... uh, a big record just broke in Belgium. -Cliff Poncier, Singles A Cameron Crowe film tends to have a "killer" soundtrack. Listening to a Crowe soundtrack is an intriguing adventure filled with carefully curated juxtapositions. In fact, the experience is a lot like the
Still the Same: Classic Bob Seger Albums Make Streaming Debut
As the music business increasingly adopts streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music into their strategies for success, it becomes painfully clear when albums (or whole catalogues, even) are missing from the digital realm. This year, we've already seen the triumphant return of Prince's Warner Bros.-era masters beyond the Tidal platform, ahead of next week's Purple Rain reissue. On Friday, one of the most famous holdouts finally relented. Bob Seger, the iconic Detroit rocker, and Capitol
Omnivore Revives "Rosebud" From Henske, Yester, Doerge On New Expanded Edition
Last year, the Omnivore label began its retelling of the story of Judy Henske and Jerry Yester with the hotly-anticipated, first authorized reissue of the then-married duo's 1969 cult favorite album Farewell Aldebaran. Now, the Henske/Yester tale continues with another lavishly expanded CD reissue: this time, of 1971's Rosebud.

Get Busy: Sean Paul Releases Greatest Hits Collection
If you've been on a dance floor since the start of the millennium, there's a good chance you've heard the intoxicating dancehall riddims of Sean Paul. A recently released greatest hits compilation from Rhino Records puts those dancefloor classics in full focus.

Kick Out The Jams! Run Out Groove Compiles Best of The MC5 on Vinyl
Has the time ever been more right for a return of The MC5? The band from Lincoln Park, Michigan fused garage rock with elements of blues, jazz, and psychedelia to give voice to the counterculture movement of the mid- to late 1960s in as aggressive a fashion as possible. Between 1969 and 1971, the band released three albums on Elektra and Atlantic, anticipating the punk movement with fast and furiously heavy riffs. Run Out Groove, Rhino's new arm dedicated to limited edition

Hanging by a Moment: Lifehouse to Release Greatest Hits Compilation
Pop quiz: what was the biggest single of 2001? Here's a hint: it's one of only three that never actually topped the Billboard Hot 100 for a single week. That answer would be "Hanging by a Moment," the breakthrough single by Los Angeles pop-rockers Lifehouse. Now, 17 years and four Top 10 albums later, the group is slated to release a greatest-hits compilation through UMe. Led by smoky-voiced, spiritual-not-religious songwriter Jason Wade, Lifehouse first began its run as Blyss, an alternative
In Memoriam: Adam West (1928-2017)
For many, Adam West will always be the one, true Batman. The self-described "Bright Knight" passed away yesterday at the age of 88 following a brief battle with leukemia. Yet he will always remain in the hearts of his fans not just for his indelible portrayal of the Caped Crusader, but for his eternally tongue-in-cheek good humor and considerable talent. West survived being typecast in Hollywood to establish himself to a new generation with his numerous voiceover performances on the big and

Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment: Ramones Remix and Expand "Leave Home" for 40th Anniversary

Step Inside, Walk This Way: Def Leppard Expand "Hysteria" to Seven Discs

Strung Out: Wendy & Lisa's "Eroica" To Be Expanded by Cherry Red
Looking for something Prince-related to tide you over before the Purple Rain reissue hits stores?

By the release of Eroica, the duo's

Review: Robert Lamm, "Time Chill: A Retrospective"
It's not much of a stretch to say that Robert Lamm is the heart and soul of Chicago. Since founding that seminal horn-rock band with Terry Kath, Peter Cetera, Lee Loughnane, Walter Parazaider, James Pankow, and Danny Seraphine, Lamm has contributed some of the band's most memorable songs including "Saturday in the Park," "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is," "Beginnings," "25 or 6 to 4," and "Another Rainy Day in New York City." Lamm's work has always been equal parts craft and

Constant Craving: k.d. lang's Breakthrough Album to Be Expanded
This summer, k.d. lang will celebrate the 25th anniversary of her breakthrough album Ingénue with a newly-expanded deluxe edition pairing the album with previously unreleased performances from her MTV Unplugged special.

Reuniting with producers Greg Perry and Ben Mink from her fourth album,
