…5CD 83 track box set rounds up all of punk legends Peter & The Test Tube Babies releases throughout the 90s.
Peter and the Test Tube Babies were formed in 1978 by singer Peter Bywaters, guitarist Derek “Strangefish” Greening, bassist Chris “Trapper” Marchant, and drummer Nicholas “Ogs” Loizides.
Known as much for their snarky sense of humor and working-class outlook as for their music, Peter and the Test Tube Babies were one of the early bands to emerge on the Brighton U.K. punk scene. It took the group a while to find their footing, but once they clicked, they became one of the most enduring bands in British punk, still recording and touring four decades after they made their debut.

It takes Alex G four songs to get there, but “Beam Me Up” acknowledges Headlights as his first album with a true talking point, bound to color nearly everyone’s experience from the Tumblr-era diehards to the recent converts — nine albums and 9 million monthly Spotify followers later, why would someone as self-sufficient and camera-shy as Alex G finally sign to a major label?
Natalie Bergman opens up her sound on her second full-length, trading the heartbroken gospel of 2021’s Mercy for a spacious, airy production style that nods to classic Motown. It’s not often that a contemporary, Caucasian artist earns a comparison to Diana Ross, but listen for a minute to “Lonely Road,” with its sinuous bass, subtle stinging guitars on the upbeats, lush slathering of strings, and the cool, poised vocals at its heart. Bergman’s tone is girlish but in control, sweet but tinged with melancholy and hard-earned knowledge, backlit by a shimmering wash of echo and overtone, and if you flash onto the Supremes for a second, you’re not the only one.
Ben Schneider has spent his career so far steering Lord Huron through the American West. Not the Old West, necessarily, though Schneider went so far as to invent an imaginary series of Western adventure novels as part of the backstory for Lonesome Dreams, the band’s 2012 debut. The old days of horse rustlers, bandits, and broad-shouldered sheriffs are part of that mythos, of course, but Schneider is at least as interested in evoking the setting as telling the stories on Lord Huron’s latest. 
To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their debut album Employment (usually commemorated with the gift of china), Kaiser Chiefs are making new expanded ‘China Anniversary’ formats available. The original album has been remastered at Abbey Road Studios, and the bonus material was curated by the band from their own archive.

Jade Bird has built a solid following with her unique blend of indie and Americana following two well received albums. She now returns four years on from her last album. After moving from Austin to LA and going through a painful breakup, the scars are clear to see on “Who Wants to Talk About Love” a moving and introspective LP that has a searing honesty to it.
Dog Eared is a raw and reflective return to Billie Marten’s famed jazz-infused indie-folk. Journeying between stories and emotions, Marten’s songwriting is personal but universal.
