    Trash Talk - No Peace

    The Needle Drop

    Trash Talk’s latest album might have ferocity, but the music does little to capture the hardcore punk imagination.

    The Roots - ...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin ft. The Daily Guru

    The Needle Drop

    The new Roots album is easily the band’s dreariest album yet, but it’s also their most inconsistent.

    Vallenfyre - Splinters

    The Needle Drop

    Meshell Ndegeocello - "Conviction"

    The Needle Drop

    Singer/songwriter/bassist Meshell Ndegeocello doesn’t get enough respect.
