The Ledge #695: New Releases Pt. 2

I wanted to call this the final new release episode of 2025, but that's technically not true as next week's holiday extravaganza will feature almost all new tracks. But it's the last "real" episode of this sort, and it's as great as any show of this type we've put together all year.

There's a ton of veteran acts featured this week - The Wedding Present, Daniel Romano, Superchunk, Juliana Hatfield, and Cheap Trick. There's also Fast Kids, the new side project by The Mystery Light frontman Mike Brandon, and the second album by Plosivs, one of many John Reis projects. Of course, I can't forget the latest projects involving Wild Billy Childish - is own Thee Headcoats and the first album since 1999 by Thee Headcoatees!

Of course, there's also a Rum Bar Records segment that highights live material from The Dogs, a new supergroup called Speedtwinn, and the latest single by Girl with a Hawk. Plus, lots of the power pop and garage rock that are staples of The Ledge!
