Album: Paranormal  
Artist: Alice Cooper
Label: earMusic
Released: July 28

I have always been a huge fan of Alice Cooper’s early work, and it’s a pleasure to hear and see that his distinctive style of rock remains a strong contender for a top spot in the album charts which are otherwise dominated by auto-tuned, “millennial whoop” filled pop.

Album: Concrete and Gold                
Artist: Foo Fighters
Label: RCA

Nine albums under the belt and Foo Fighters are still going strong!

Album: Dreamcar      
Artist: Dreamcar      
Label: Columbia
Released: May 12

Really dig the 80s “New Order” style vibe of this album. Davey Havok’s vocals are the perfect fit.

Album: The Blood Album   
Artist: AFI
Label: Concord Records                
Released: Jan. 28

The Blood Album really proves that AFI’s fire is still burning just as bright as when it was lit 25 years ago.
