Rock'n'roll is the music of the young and the Rolling Stones haven’t been young since before I was born.

 If I want to hear some good old blues, I listen to the originals.

The Rolling Stones released 'Blue & Lonesome' in 2016, an album of blues covers performed by aging band members. While the album guarantees commercial success, it lacks the passion and imagination of their earlier works. The reviewer suggests preferring original blues classics or the Stones' legendary early albums for authentic blues-rock experience. The review provides a balanced perspective on the album's nostalgic appeal and limited artistic innovation. Explore The Rolling Stones’ blues homage in 'Blue & Lonesome' and decide if nostalgia strikes your chord!

 They are certainly one of the most interesting musical projects to come out of the United States in the past year, but at the same time, they are something I must inevitably define as a true 'enigma.'

 Listening to this atypical rock and roll band leads me to two final considerations...some cumbia sounds and elements of Latin music are incredibly the same as those of the musical cultural heritage of Eastern Europe.

XIXA’s Bloodline is a bold blend of traditional cumbia and psychedelic desert rock with rich Latin American influences rooted in Tucson’s culture. The album features strong moments evocative of legendary acts like Giant Sand and Screaming Trees but struggles with overly complex arrangements in parts. Despite its imperfections, it offers a fascinating insight into cultural fusion and immigrant contributions to American music. Bloodline stands out as original and ambitious but somewhat uneven. Explore XIXA’s Bloodline for a daring blend of psychedelic desert rock and vibrant Latin cumbia—discover the unique sounds of Tucson’s musical frontier.

 This new record, 'Hamburg Demonstrations', probably marks a boundary line for Pete Doherty.

It highlights the album as a potential new chapter marked by mature themes and a shift from his earlier band works.

 The charm of this project lies in its extreme aggressiveness, especially evident in the sound progression and the more aggressive vocal parts.

 The attempt to give breadth to the entire work by expanding their artistic horizons has certainly made the final result somewhat uncertain.

One Shall Stand’s album 'Taking Your Try To Fail Me Into Your Grave' is a complex mix of hardcore, metalcore, and lo-fi styles. While the band shows strong aggressive elements, especially in beatdown tracks like 'BLK' and 'TWR,' the overall album feels experimental and somewhat unfocused. The melodic vocals add an unexpected layer, but the range of styles sometimes creates an uncertain final impression. Despite imperfections, the band’s potential shines through its raw energy. Explore One Shall Stand’s intense and experimental metalcore sounds—listen now and discover their unique blend!

 When I’m in front of my desk with headphones on and the microphone in front of my notes, I only see the lights of the monitors and equipment and forget about the shit around me.
