The Ledge #635: New Releases Pt. 2

Part two of this month's new release series is highlighted by long-awaited returns by legendary veteran bands. The Dictators celebrate their 50th anniversary with their first album in 25 years. The Fastbacks are back after a 23 year hiatus. Peter Noone of 60's pop idiols Herman's Hermits is back with vocal contributions to a Buffalo Springfield-Rolling Stones hybrid cover created by The Weeklings. Other veteran artists with new tunes include Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Jon Spencer.

There's also a plethora of brand new tunes from our friends at Rum Bar Records, including the kickoff of a new monthly singles campaign by The Dogmatics. There's hot new singles from Rum Bar regulars The Laissez Fairs, Cheap Cassettes, along with Junior Varsit, Joe Jennings MVP's, and a Dogmatics side project called Hotbox.

Besides all of those hot acts, there's a ton of female voices heard on this episode. Cherrie Currie collaborates with the Dead Boys on a "believe it or not" cover of Taylor Swift. Lura Jane Grace is back with a wondefully angry new EP. There's also new music by The Bell Rays, The Dahlmanns, Vicious Dreams, and many others!
