Kelley Deal met Mike Montgomery at Candyland, his Dayton, KY Studio, where she was recording a contribution for a Guided by Voices tribute album. It was the beginning of the friendship that would become R. Ring. Shortly after their work together at Candyland, Montgomery was asked to open a show for a band he was recording, and not wanting to play solo, recruited Deal to join him on stage. That show ended up sparking an LP, splits with Protomartyr, Vacation and Quailbones, and many more live shows.

Now Reunited at Candyland for their second LP, titled War Poems, We Rested, R. Ring is expanding on their creative process. For this release many of the songs were written with the support of drummer Laura King (Bat Fangs, Mac McCaughan, Speed Stick), allowing the group to explore fuller arrangements from the start. On their previous release, 2017's Ignite the Rest, Deal and Montgomery had written with the consideration that they would eventually play the songs as a duo. Now, at a time when playing live is no longer a given, the band is freeing themselves up to create without those constraints.

The result is a record that's equal parts driving and haunting, with noisy soundscapes bubbling over across tight and aggressive drumming. The ominous vocals and glockenspiel of opener "Still Life" hover above to the rhythm section, bringing the record in with a gothic shuffle.

Recorded and largely self-produced in Nashville with the help of close friend and engineer Jeremy Ferguson, Asking for a Ride finds the Louisville band taking a more direct and in-your-face approach, prioritizing the collection�s raw energy and its ability to translate live through ripping and nervy compositions. It�s White Reaper at their most exciting - dialing up the chrome-plated riffs and monster hooks � a welcome reminder of just how much fun rock music can be. �We ask ourselves: �Does it sound good when we play it in the room together?� And if it does, those are the songs we want to pursue,� vocalist/guitarist Tony Esposito noted. Guitarist Hunter Thompson concurred: �We started to recognize how we operate best as a band.�

The latest chapter in Columbia/Legacy's highly acclaimed Bob Dylan Bootleg Series takes a fresh look at Time Out of Mind, Dylan's mid-career masterpiece, celebrating the album and its enduring impact 25 years after its original release on September 30, 1997. Fragments - Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series Vol.17 follows the evolution of songs written for the album, from intimate early incarnations in the previously unreleased 1996 Teatro sessions through incandescent live renditions showcasing Dylan and his touring ensemble channeling the songs on-stage from 1998-2001.

Disc one premieres 2022 mixes, by Michael H. Brauer, of the eleven original recordings on Time Out of Mind, sounding more like how the songs came across when the musicians originally played them in the room.

Discs two and three are comprised of rare outtakes and alternate versions of songs written for Time Out of Mind including four original Dylan compositions--"Dreamin' of You," "Red River Shore," "Mississippi" (later re-recorded for "Love & Theft" in 2001) and "Marchin' to the City"--not included on the canonical 1997 tracklist. A fifth unreleased performance, Dylan's interpretation of "The Water is Wide," a traditional folk song of Scottish origin (and spiritual precursor of "Highlands," Time Out of Mind's epic closer) opens Disc Two.

Disc four presents songs from Time Out of Mind in a series of spectacular live performances from 1998-2001. All tracks on disc four are previously unavailable with the exception of "Make You Feel My Love" (May 21, 1998, Los Angeles).

As a bonus for fans, disc five brings together studio recordings of the four Dylan songs omitted from the original Time Out of Mind track list as well as exemplary live performances of "Cold Irons Bound" and "Tryin' To Get To Heaven." The twelve tracks on disc five were previously available on The Bootleg Series Vol. 8: Tell Tale Signs.

There�s a line on Honey, the latest album from Nashville-via-NYC songwriter Samia, about Aspen Grove, a collection of 40,000 trees in the plains of North America, all connected by a single expansive root system. There�s no stronger metaphor for the audience the 25-year-old empathy engine has been generating since she began releasing music seven years ago. Her songs, her fans, her friends: one enormous, interconnected ecosystem. Honey, comprised of eleven new moments of catharsis, is by and for that organism. Set for release on January 23rd 2023 via Grand Jury Music, the album was recorded at North Carolina studio Betty�s �- owned and operated by Sylvan Esso�s Nick Sandborn and Amelia Meath, frequent touring partners of Samia�s. It was produced by Caleb Wright, part of the team that helmed Samia�s breakthrough 2020 debut The Baby, and a founding member of one of Samia�s favorite bands, The Happy Children. It features some of her nearest and dearest friends: Christian Lee Hutson, Briston Maroney, Jake Luppen, Raffaella. Its songs were surreptitiously road tested for her devotees while opening for Lucy Dacus, Courtney Barnett, and more. The end result is what Samia calls simply �a real community record.�

Nimrod, Green Day�s fifth studio album, was originally released on October 14 1997. The Billboard Top 10 LP declared �Green Days best!� by Kerrang�was driven by the hit singles �Hitchin� A Ride�, �Redundant�, �Nice Guys Finish Last� and �Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)� the latter of which has sold 5 million copies in the US alone.� The song was written as a spiteful ballad and has evolved into the soundtrack of everyone�s seminal life moments; even being featured in the Seinfeld series finale.� The album has sold over 3 million copies in the US (triple platinum) and has been certified multi-platinum, platinum, or gold in several other countries, including the UK, Japan, Canada, Australia and Spain.

This 25^th Anniversary Edition includes the original album, one disc of previously unreleased Nimrod demos, and a live set from Philadelphia recorded one month after Nimrod was released.�

The 14 track demos disc includes two unreleased Green Day tracks (�You Irritate Me� and �Tre Polka�), plus a cover of the classic Elvis Costello song �Allison� (previously unreleased).

The live album was recorded at The Electric Factory in Philadelphia on November 14 1997. The 20-song set includes several songs from Nimrod, plus fan favorites from their previous albums and singles.�

30th Anniversary Edition of the Cure�s best-selling, Grammy-nominated album �WISH.� Newly remastered by Robert Smith and Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. Featuring the hit singles �High,� �Friday I�m In Love,� and �A Letter To Elise�

Featuring four instrumentals taken from the 'Wish' sessions, recorded at the Manor Winter 1991. Strictly Limited to 3500 copies worldwide.

Describing their first three albums as a trilogy that is now complete, Meath and Sanborn see No Rules Sandy as the beginning of a new period, with songs that are �wilder and stranger and more cathartic than the band used to be,� as Nick Sanborn puts it. �It feels like who we actually are,� Amelia Meath adds. �It just feels like us. We�re not trying to fit into the mold, just happily being our freak selves.�

Cruel Country�Wilco�s universally-acclaimed 12th studio album will be available for the first time on vinyl and in a standard retail CD format via dBpm Records on January 20th. The double-disc packages are comprised of 21 Country Music inspired tracks, recorded at the band�s Chicago studio�The Loft.

Originally released in May 2022 (digital only) and in a limited �pre-release� CD edition for the June RSD drop, lead tracks �Falling Apart (Right Now)� and �Tired Of Taking It Out On You� have already become staples on non-commercial, public and AAA radio. Cruel Country songs and graphics have been featured throughout the band�s June European tour and August/September/October North American tour.

A new music video for �A Lifetime To Find� will be released in conjunction with the pre-order announcement.

Bandleader Jeff Tweedy has commented a length on the concept and recording process of Cruel Country in numerous podcasts, online interviews and print articles:

�There have been elements of Country Music in everything we�ve ever done. We�ve never been particularly comfortable with accepting that definition, the idea that I was making Country Music. But now, having been around the block a few times, we�re finding it exhilarating to free ourselves within the form, and embrace the simple limitation of calling the music we�re making Country.�

Jon Pareles in The New York Times wrote: �Wilco makes an understated magnum opus. Its tone is naturalistic and understated; the album was recorded largely with Wilco playing live in the studio as a six-man band, quietly savoring the chance to make music together after pandemic isolation.�

Jon Dolan in Rolling Stone wrote: �Their latest is a beautifully rootsy album with a broken sense of patriotic concern.� ****
