Gun Selectah EPnew
This EP is misleading for a number of reasons. First, it's a heavy EP, weighing in at nine tracks and a hair shy of 40 minutes.

Pimpadelic ... Seriouslynew
Like last night's Whataburger, Pimpadelic is back, though the band never really went away, only changed styles. Based on Drink! Drugs! Sex!, the Fort Worth quartet's 650th album, the style du jour is Motley Crue and Hank III.

Sexto’s sendoff?new
It hurts when a great band plays past their expiration date. It’s worse when a key figure leaves and the band never regains its lost artistic spark.
