The Ledge #606: New Releases Pt. 2

This may be the second part of this month's new release series, but there is no letdown in quality. Once again, there's an intriguing mix of styles, ages, and even home locations. There are brand new acclaimed artists such as Liquid Mike and Sprints. There's the returns of veterans such as Paul Collins, J. Robbins, and Sham 69. There's also the usual trademark of quality from our friends at Slovenly Records and Rum Bar Records.

Most intriguing to me, is the story behind "Get the Experience" by The Ex-Bombers. Band members Keri Cousins and S.M. Nancy Walus are "rasslin'" fans, just as I am. Many of their late night drives after gigs have found them listening to legendary wrestling manager Jim Cornette's podcast, Jim Cornette Experience. Hearing that he was looking for a new theme song, the band quickly put together "Get the Experience", and just this week they were informed that the song is now the official theme song of the show! Thanks to the band for not only sending me a copy of the song to air, but including a little interview segment telling the story.

And once again, even thought the "52 Weeks of Teenage Kicks" series is officially over, I received yet another new submission. Numb Surprise is a two piece post-punk band from the Midlands in England that formed in 2023. Their new album, Introspect, was recently released and I'm so pleased they sent in their "Teenage Kicks" cover. Hey, I'll keep the series going on an informal basis if I keep receiving new versions!
