Fontaines D.C.
"The gasp in Fontaines D.C.‘s new song, 'Starburster,' tell its whole story: Frontman Grian Chatten suffered a panic attack in a London tube station and decided to chronicle that feeling on a funky, disco-rock track." — Rolling Stone
"‘Starburster’ captures that shock of trying to grasp reality amidst all the chaos." — NME
"Incorporating elements of hip-hop, shoegaze, grunge, and more, the album continues the Irish act’s reflections on nationality, identity, and notions of idealism." — Consequence Sound

Kings of Leon
“Can We Please Have Fun eases into the good times with some unexpected sonic twists… glistening synths… propulsive bassline… sexy… sleek-and-polished grooves.” — Rolling Stone
"Kings of Leon electrify with new album that nods to the past…There’s a raw unpredictability to the band’s ninth album, a welcome return to the Kings’ early sawdust-and-spilled-beer days. Yes, we can definitely have fun here." — Associated Press
“…recaptures the raucous energy that the Nashville clan bottled in the early ‘00s. There are moments of introspection, as on the hazy ‘Actual Daydream’, but it’s the fuzzed-up likes of ‘Hesitation Generation’ and ‘Nothing To Do’ that feel like flares fired into the crowd of a ‘00s indie package show.” — NME

Judah & the Lion
"Through a series of earworms that range from folksy stomp-alongs and surf rock tunes to pop-punk anthems, Akers and Macdonald lay bare the denial, anger, bargaining, depression and, finally, acceptance that came with a period Akers calls his 'lowest point.'" — People
"Over the epic 19-track album, the duo relies on each other to work through each of the stages of grief before finally resolving in acceptance and beauty, despite the pain—and bringing us all along for the ride." — Sweety High

Rainbow Kitten Surprise
"Rainbow Kitten Surprise has released their most consistent yet expansive album, Love Hate Music Box. It is a sprawling display of their constantly evolving artistry as they fit their daring balladry into tight pop structures." — Glide Magazine
"the much-anticipated album ponders life’s ups and downs, and traces the turbulent trajectory of relationships, painted out loud in hues of pop, electronic, rock, and hip-hop. As such, it finds the musicians at their most vulnerable, vibrant, and vital." — Broadway World
