The Ledge #710: First Quarter Recap

We are just days away from the end of March, which means we are (finally) a quarter of the way through 2026! To celebrate this fact, this week's episode is a look back at the best albums released over the last three months. And it's been quite a great quarter - fantastic record by new bands such as Twisted Teens (new to me, at least), The Rockerati, Mod Lang, and so many others. Fabulous returns by Uni Boys, King Tuff, The Darts, and South Dakota's greatest current artist, Friends of Cesar Romero. There's great covers albums by veteran acts such as The Damned, Pink Fairies, and Pat Todd & the Rankoutsiders. Plus much much more.

What's your favorite record of the year so far?
