Band: OTHER BROTHER DARRYL
Who: Country & Americana collective from Boston.
They released their debut LP Roll Shine Roll last year.
Track: TAKE IT WITH YOU
New single.
Nate Leavitt (guitarist and co-vocalist), “We’re shaped by our past. All of the experiences in our life are what makes us who we are. Good or bad, these are the things that make us who we are and it’s important to recognize that. It doesn’t mean you have to live in the past; in fact it’s the complete opposite. Live in the now but know you’re here because of your past.”
Dan Nicklin (co-vocalist, lyricist, and percussionist): “The sentiment of ‘bringing it with you’
is grabbing your baggage and taking it; you can unpack it if you want, but make sure you bring it with you because if you’re strong enough now to unpack it, it’s because of what you lived through. So don’t turn your back on those memories.”
TUTV: Warm Americana at its nostalgic best. Sonically, harmonically and
melodically. Take It With You is richly orchestrated with both an acoustic
glow and steel guitar sparkles, mellow organs and piano now and then
in the back.
Feel-good country rock vibes, early Eagles come to mind, sooth our troubled
state of mind and make us dream about much-needed better times. There’s
always an encouraging light that shines at the end of the melancholia tunnel.
Amazing Album Artwork – Cover Of Collaborative One With THE MELVINS And NAPALM DEATH
12 April 2026
Veteran rockers MELVINS (in business since 1983 / so far 28 albums) teamed up with British grindcore legends NAPALM DEATH (busy for 45 years now / so far 16 albums)
for a collaborative LP, titled SAVAGE IMPERIAL DEATH MARCH.
MELVINS
NAPALM DEATH
And? Surprising combination, but it works pretty fireworks
well at times, with key tracks Rip The God, Stealing Horses and
Death Hour.
Yes, it was the album’s artwork that caught
my attention first and made me listen to it.

FOO FIGHTERS Released Their 7th Album ‘WASTING LIGHT’ Today 15 Years Ago
12 April 2026
Dave Grohl and his FOO FIGHTERS released their 7th album,
named WASTING LIGHT on 12 April 2011, today 15 years ago.
The album was recorded in Grohl‘s house in Encino, California. It was made
on only analog equipment and was produced by Garbage drummer and
Nirvana’s Nevermind producer Butch Vig.
The band spent three weeks making sure they could play the songs well before
recording, as no mistakes can be fixed after recording on analog equipment.
Pitchfork said: “Foo Fighters’ long-standing foundation has been built on fist-pumpers.
While Wasting Light features a host of worthy set-openers, few prove to be as sticky or memorable as any number of their previous singles.”

JOE JACKSON – British Veteran Songsmith Has His 22th Album ‘HOPE AND FURY’ Out
10 April 2026
Artist: The lauded British,
singer-songwriter veteran.
New Album: HOPE AND FURY
His 22nd one.
Press info: “Often labelled a musical chameleon, Jackson insists that most of his work belongs to his own “mainstream” – sophisticated pop songs with ever-shifting rhythms
and textures. After his playful detour with What A Racket! (a 2023 side project exploring early 20th-century British entertainment and music), he now returns to that core territory.
The result, according to Jackson, falls somewhere between Fool (2019), Laughter and
Lust (1991), and Night and Day (1982). Nine new songs in total – ranging from biting,
witty pop to moving ballads.”
TUTV: At the age of 71 and after an impressive 56-year career, Jackson has earned
lots of stars and stripes. This new LP will be another one to remember. The versatile
songsmith obviously wanted to have and make fun.
He returns to his swinging Latin-pop side with both jaunty and vigorous ballroom tunes: Welcome to Burning-By-Sea, I’m Not Sorry, Made God Laugh, Do Do Do, and Fabulous People (actually the first 5 tracks).
But with the closing quartet of songs After All This Time, The Face, End Of The Pier, and
See You In September he leaves the cocktail party behind him and offers some good
old Jackson musings. It makes Hope and Fury an album with, sonically, 2 different
moods. I like the ebullient one the most, it smells like spring spirit.
