Five albums make their debut in the Top 20 this week. The first belongs to the New Orleans indie rockers Generationals, their fourth studio album “Alix” comes in at #20.

2014 has been a good year for Cincinnati, Ohio’s pride and joy, The Afghan Whigs. So far we’ve seen the release of the very solid comeback album “Do To The Beast,” and now the reissue of the group’s fourth studio “Gentlemen” from 1993.
21st birthday parties are always fun! The “Gentlemen” reissue includes the remastered album on one compact disc; and fun shit like 17 demos, B-sides, and live performances, many of which are unreleased on the other CD minus R.
I like The Afghan Whigs, and I could care less whether any of my readers care for them. Before you run out and pick up a physical copy of the “Gentlemen” reissue, check out the band’s video for the track “Lost In The Woods’ off their latest effort “Do To The Beast.”

The following albums dropped today and are available in your local trendy record store or on digital download.
Finally, the world has the self-titled debut from the Brooklyn indie pop band HAERTS. The long-awaited release follows the extended play Hemiplegia, which came out almost one year ago to the day. All four songs from the EP are included on LP. The band shared a video for the single “Giving Up” today.

The Montreal based indie band Ought follows-up their debut album More Than Any Other Day, released earlier this year, with the EP Once More With Feeling.

One of my guilty pleasures is listening to the York, Pennsylvania alt-rockers Live. This is their first release sans former frontman Ed Kowalczyk. Mr. Kowalczyk had an ugly separation from the rest of the band, unfortunately the band plays on. The group chose Chris Shinn from Unified Theory as their new lead singer. PT, is Unified Theory one of your faves?

Ever wonder what the Glasgow, Scotland band CHVRCHES have been up to? Well, they’ve been touring the shit out of their phenomenal debut album “The Bones Of What You Believe.” In case you’ve forgotten, I named the trios debut release my Album Of The Year for 2013.
The latest tune from the album to be released in video form is for the track “Under The Tide.” This particular song is the one that features Martin Doherty on lead vocals rather than the lovely Lauren Mayberry (pictured). I’ve said all along it’s one of the best tune on the album, and watching them perform it live back in April at the Coachella Festival proved my point.
Last week the electro-pop stars debuted a new song entitled “Get Away,” which is part of a forthcoming reworking of the 2011 soundtrack to Drive (listen below). Earlier in the month at Austin City Limits the group debuted an another new track (listen to it here), the track’s title is said to be either “Richard Pryor”, “Gene” Wilder”, or “Eddie Murphy.” How fun, a comedy theme. The track is rumored to be part of the next Hunger Games Soundtrack, allegedly.
Now would be a good time to blow the dust off your CHVRCHES cloud and give it a listen again.

Not long after the Leicester lads put the finishing touches on their first North American tour in nearly six years, albeit brief, the band dropped a bizarre video for the track “Stevie.”
The States continue to be a tough nut to crack for KASABIAN, one of the biggest acts currently in the U.K. Guitarist Sergio Pizzorno recently said that he can’t figure out why the States continue to “play hard to get,” however he holds the band’s former label (Sony) responsible for the lack of North American exposure. Amazingly, here’s a band that plays to a crowd of 100,000 people in their hometown of Leicester and headlined one of the night’s at this years Glastonbury Festival, that can’t sell-out the 800 person House Of Blues venue in San Diego.
The band’s fifth studio album “48:13” was released domestically a few weeks back and is in heavy rotation in my six-disc changer. As far as the band’s lack of U.S. success, that’s just fine with me; more room for me down front. Funny how after 10 years and 5 albums, KASABIAN continues to be our little secret.

Someday when there’s more time, I’ll begin counting down my Top 365 bands of all-time. Rest assured, the legendary baggy band The Charlatans will be in my Top 10.
The Charlatans confirmed this week that their first album since the passing of original drummer Jon Brookes will be released on January 26 in the U.K., it remains to be seen if the U.S. release will follow that schedule. Mr. Brookes passed away in 2013 from brain cancer.
The forthcoming album entitled Modern Nature, is the follow-up to 2010’s Who We Touch. It was in 2010 that Brookes collapsed on stage in Philadelphia, and later diagnosed with a brain tumor. The band says that “Jon was adamant that there was going to be another Charlatans record,” he said, “and you have to put that into your own thoughts.” Modern Nature features three drummers, Pete Salisbury of The Verve Fame, Stephen Morris of New Order, and Gabriel Gurnsey of Factory Floor. For the time being, Salisbury will act as the touring drummer.
The band has a handful of U.K. dates lined up for March 2015, this will set up perfectly for a 2015 Coachella appearance in April. Add The Charlatans to my 2015 Coachella Perfect Poster Wish List.
A few week ago the band dropped a video for the lead track “Talking In Tones” from the upcoming album, view it below. The track “So Oh” will be the first single released from the album, look for it on December 1. For those that have not followed the band’s career since their amazing 1989 debut Some Friendly, this will be their twelfth studio album, who knew? except me.

Apparently, the 20-year Anniversary celebration of the Pixies classic album “Doolittle” did not produce the revenue numbers to Frank Black’s liking. The band recently announced plans to reissue the “Doolittle” album in a special expanded 25th anniversary edition.
The new “Doolittle” is scheduled to drop on December 2 and be made available on 2LP’s, 3 compact discs, or for those that can’t stand anything physical, digital form. The expanded edition is said to include 50 tracks, in other words, the 15 original tracks from “Doolittle” and 35 different variations of those tunes.
Maybe what the band will to do is; tour the world two times over playing “Doolittle” is its entirety for the next four years selling t-shirts that shrink 2 sizes after the first wash… wait, they already did that.
In all seriousness this is what can be found on the expanded “Doolittle.”

GoINDEEpMusic will be out at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, California for a night of shoegazing fun with The Horrors. Per usual, the night begins at Chief’s for burgers and brews, along with Monday Night Football and Playoff Baseball. The English indie rockers had to cancel the majority of their North American tour, but luckily the Solana Beach show was one of seven that remained on schedule. San Francisco’s psychedelic rockers Moon Duo will provide support prior. Moon Duo is a side project of Wooden Shjips guitarist Erik Ripley Johnson.
