Washing Machine
Washing Machine is the ninth studio album by the American experimental rock band Sonic Youth, released on September 26, 1995 by DGC Records. It was recorded at Easley Studios in Memphis, Tennessee and produced by the band and John Siket, who also engineered the band's previous two albums. The album features more open-ended pieces than it's predecessors and contains some of the band's longest songs, including the 20-minute ballad "The Diamond Sea", which is the lengthiest track to feature on any …
A Thousand Leaves
A Thousand Leaves was Sonic Youth's 10th studio album and the group's first major effort to be recorded at their own Echo Canyon studio in NYC. Free from the constraints of paying for costly studio time, the band was able to work at their desired pace and experiment at will. The result was an album born out of improvisation, chiefly characterized by the guitar interplay between guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo. The album title was inspired by Walt Whitman as Moore explained, "The same w…
Goo
Sonic Youth's eighth album, Goo, was their first for DGC / Geffen. The album marked their major label debut, featuring arena rock staples like "Kool Thing" and "Dirty Boots" deep in its grooves.
This allowed Sonic Youth to enter the mainstream world, destroy everything in their path, and emerge victorious. They rode the Top 10 charts to sonic stardom and glory, or at least secured the opening spot on the 1991 Crazy Horse tour.

Big Beat From Badsville
Dangerous, bizarre, but most of all cool, The Cramps one again prove themselves as leaders in skull-fracturing rock ʼnʼ roll, delving even deeper into a wicked netherworld where few have dared to tread. They are the architects of a sound that has spawned an entire subversive subculture. Originally released in 1997, Big Beat From Badsville is a haul-ass, careening monster of a record featuring more songs of mutilation, shape-shifting, psycho frenzies and she-devil-worship. The four rare bonus tra…
Stay Sick!
Sex-classic Stay Sick! was originally released in 1990 and features more of the dark side of rockabilly in a jugular vein. The opener, a hopped-up cover of obscure Sun Records tune “Bop Pills,” proves that rumors of amphetamine usage by the original Memphis rockabilly cats was not exaggerated, and sets the pace for the rest of the album.
Hog-wild covers of “Shortninʼ Bread” and “Muleskinner Blues” probably have the original writers dancing on their graves, and The Cramps’ version of the perverse…

Terminal
2026 stock “Terminal” by The Windbreakers is a sharply crafted collection of jangly guitar pop that balances tuneful immediacy with a rough, emotional edge. Built around bright, chiming guitars and insistent rhythms, the album channels the energy of mid‑’80s college rock while keeping the songwriting lean and direct. Tracks like “Off and ON,” “Changeless,” and “That Stupid Idea” showcase a knack for hook-laden melodies that stick after the first listen, yet the arrangements never feel polished t…
Run
2026 stock "Run" is the sophomore album by The Windbreakers, a jangle pop duo from Jackson, Mississippi. Released in 1986 on Twin/Tone Records, it showcases their signature blend of melodic Southern pop hooks and raw emotional depth.
