The Ledge #741: New Releases Pt. 2

The second part of the new release series may feature some of the usual suspects, but there's room for so much more. So, yes, you've got the usual collection of great new music from Rum Bar Records, along with the latest in the Dam-Nations series. Yes, there's a ton of female voices heard, particularly in a lengthy set midway through the show.

But this show is a bit special due to the fact that there are so many longtime faves with new tunes. Lydia Loveless has a new EP called Accolades. The Young Fresh Fellows are back with a special album, Bocetos De España, recorded as a thank you to their supporters in Spain. Guerrilla Teens, Pat Todd & the Outsiders, and Eels continue to release outstanding records. And who isn't touched by the story of Descendents/All guitarist Stephen Egerton, whose wife gifted him four days of studio time at Abbey Road Studios in London?

Of course, there's also a ton of great new bands this week, including Joy Cleaner, Big Red, Shiv & The Carvers, and The Lotts. Plus two recent singles by The Rumours, an Iowa band who regularly plays in my home town.
