FRANK TURNER’S NEWEST RELEASE, UNDEFEATED, ARRIVES THIS NEW RECORD FRIDAY!

“Undefeated” is my tenth solo studio album, and in many ways I’m pleasantly surprised by that statement. I feel very fortunate that I’m still making records and touring – fortunate and proud. The record is fired by that feeling, and a new sense of energy and liberation. It feels like a new chapter for me – after the pandemic, back in the independent world, the new lineup of the Sleeping Souls, and a slightly bewildered sense of gratitude that I’m still standing, still have something to say. – Frank Turner

GREEN DAY’S HIGHLY UNDERRATED CLASSIC “WARNING” GETS A DOPE NEW REISSUE!!!

We always thought WARNING didn’t quite get its due, and it’s in rotation as one of our faves by the band!

It felt like the natural progression for ’em, and this album is very reminiscent of the band aging into doing a REPLACEMENTS-style approach to their sound!

GREEN DAY / WARNING / Warning, Green Day’s 6th studio album, was released in 2000 and continued the remarkable run of successful releases for the band following Dookie, Insomniac and Nimrod. The album blends the band’s usual punk rock sound with pop, folk and acoustic elements. Hit singles from Warning include “Minority” and “Macy’s Day Parade”. This limited-edition version of the album is pressed on fluorescent green vinyl.

This is OSEES bookend sound. Early grade garage pop meets proto-synth punk suicide-repellant. Have a whack at the grass or listen while flat on your ass. Heaps of electronic whirling accelerants to gum up your cheapskate broadband. Social media toilet scrapers unite! Allow your 24-hour news cycle eyes to squint at this smiling abattoir doorman. You can find your place here at long last. All are welcome from the get go to the finale… a distant crackling transmission of 80s synth last-dance-of-the-night tune for your lost loves. Suffering from Politic amnesia? Bored of AI-generated pop slop? Then this one is for you, our friends. Wasteland wanderer, stick around. Love y’all. For fans of Teutonic synth punk and Thee Oh Sees (who the f*** are they?)” -John Dwyer

WEDNESDAY WARRIORS CERTIFIED: THE FIRST TRADE PAPERBACK OF THE ENERGON UNIVERSE TRANSFORMERS SERIES ARRIVES COLLECTING ISSUES 1-6 — NOT READING TRANSFORMERS YET? THIS IS A PERFECT SPOT TO START!!!

OK, so you just read ALL the nice things we said about the ENERGON UNIVERSE, right? 

Well you gotta trust us, TRANSFORMERS is THE most  TF comic you’re ever gonna read, channeling the classic energy of the beloved old school MARVEL run but with a hard-hitting new school twist!!!

Featuring writing and artwork by comics superstar DANIEL WARREN JOHNSON, who many of you know from epics like DO A POWERBOMB, WONDER WOMAN DEAD EARTH, and more, this book is top to bottom the definition of GREAT COMICS!!!

Even if you’re not a TRANSFORMERS fan to begin with: you’re gonna love this one!!!

Optimus Prime was supposed to have led the Autobots to victory. Instead, the fate of Cybertron is unknown, and his allies have crash-landed far from home, alongside their enemies—the Decepticons.

As these titanic forces renew their war on Earth, one thing is immediately clear: the planet will never be the same. New alliances are struck. Battle lines are redrawn. And humanity’s only hope of survival is Optimus Prime.

Superstar creator DANIEL WARREN JOHNSON (DO A POWERBOMB!, Wonder Woman: Dead Earth), alongside showrunner ROBERT KIRKMAN (THE WALKING DEAD, INVINCIBLE**), reimagines Hasbro’s robots in disguise for a brand-new generation.

But Hades defies his brother’s decree, sheltering Persephone in the Underworld-and as the pair spend more time together, they are able to speak openly about their pasts. The goddess of spring admits the truth behind the bloody secret that led to Zeus’s ire, and the king of the Underworld shares the trauma he suffered at the hands of his power-hungry father, Kronos.
