The Ettes: Wicked Willnew
Precious and few are the records today that ably capture a timeless garage-punk sound and credible girl-group vocals and melodies. It seems like a holy grail combination often aspired to but rarely achieved.

Nekromantix: What Happens in Hell, Stays in Hellnew
On their new album, Danish-American psychobilly trio Nekromantix seem content to create music with a tongue-in-cheek horror shtick. Sexy new drummer Lux, a YouTube sensation known for her technical prowess and the fact that she plays the kit in high heels, brings a precise, forceful and metallic wallop, resulting in what's arguably the best-produced and most-aggressively arranged effort by a band that's been doing this for 20 years.

Bricktop: Broken Bottles and Suicide Throttles (Bulldog)new
You don't expect in this day and age for an aggressive, real punk-rock record to leave you humming along after it stops, but this outfit's sophomore release does just that -- which is a testament to Bricktop's insistent musicality and the catchiness of their shout-along vocals.
