The Ledge #511: New Releases (Pt. 2)

While part one of this month's new release series focused on relatively new artists, this week's successor is full of bands that have been around for quite some time. There's the first album in over 30 years by The Rave Ups. The Hoodoo Gurus return after a ten year hiatus. There's much-anticipated albums by the likes of Superchunk, Spiritualized, Spoon, Guided By Voices and Night Shop. There's the solo debut of former Rocket From the Crypt/Drive Like Jehu/Hot Snakes leader Swami John Reis. And there's, like always, a ton of brand new bands unleashing some powerful rock and roll.

I would love it if every listener bought at least one record I played on either of these shows. These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion! You can find this show at almost any podcast site, including iTunes and Stitcher...or
