New Release Album Reviews: DIE SPITZ! ALEX WILLIAMS! SUPERCHUNK!

Thanks for stopping by for the latest episode of The Dark Stuff. As always, I very much appreciate it. This week, I am reviewing three brand new releases that have been spinning non-stop on my turntable.

First up is the highly anticipated, debut album from DIE SPITZ. The Texas punk/metal hybrid just released "Something To Consume" on Jack White's Third Man Records. Produced by Will Yip (Mannequin Pussy, Scowl), the new album finds the young band exploring new sounds while maintaining its core intensity.

Outlaw country artist, Alex Williams, is back with his third album, "Space Brain." This record is a departure from his previous work, as he covers '80s metal songs on this record. Alex gives the outlaw country treatment to songs by Ozzy Osbourne, Cinderella, Motörhead, Mötley Crüe, and many others. It's a great, new way to hear these classic songs!

The third record I review is "Songs in the Key of Yikes" from indie rock veterans, Superchunk. This is the band's first album with new drummer, Laura King, and the band doesn't miss a beat (sorry for that lame pun). This record is a great anecdote to the non-stop bummer that the world has become. Mac McCaughan has delivered another fantastic batch of infinitely catchy and relatable songs. Thirty-five years in the game, and showing no signs of slowing down!
