I never fell in love with the Foo Fighters. Sure, the band's back story is amazing and I share the rest of the world's affection for Dave Grohl. But whenever I hear one of the band's hits I wish it was just a little dirtier and bit less corporate. The Bronx have made that sound in my head a reality with their new album IV. It's precisely the sort of big, obvious anthemic rock that will always have a place of honor in my rotation.

Hey, look! Here's documentation of a 2006 show by the Bronx at the RecordBar. And lest you forget, the Bronx's alter ego is pretty amazing.

Michelle Rosewoman's new project looks great, but asking for $23,000 seems like a bit much even if Oliver Lake is in the mix.
---
The debut album by the new "supergroup" Pinnick Gales Pridgen is RIYL Robin Trower, "Sunshine of Your Love, the 1970s. (That said, I genuinely want to see 'em live.)
---
I hate to sound like a whiny twit, but the decision to make the new "Bryan Ferry" album sound as if it was recorded in 1928 doesn't work for me.
---
SSION just dropped a stunning video for "High". RIYL: mullets, Arthur Baker, creepy basements.
