Feb 4, 8:27pm Given and Taken in Ink

This year, a handful of bands came out of nowhere and blew me away. I knew right away that debut albums from Drew Smith and The Rest would stand among the best releases of the year. They are joined by 28 other great albums, by artists well-known and obscure. I'm pleased that GTI's 2012 list is a [...]

(31) Days of Good: 12.6.12

Dec 6, 2012, 3:15am Concrete Opinions

2012 had more than a handful of impressive debut full-lengths, including Alabama Shakes' Boys & Girls , Porcelain Raft's Strange Weekend , and Jack White's Blunderbuss .  The tracks below don't even begin to scratch the surface of debuts this year, but these are a few of my favorites. The buzz band of 2011 did not disappoint.  If you have yet to give this record a chance, you're only hurting yourself.  It's more than just "Southern rock".  It's rock and soul [...]
