Monthly Mix: June 2016

Red Hot Chili Peppers make The Getaway

     

     Summer is finally here and the beach parties have officially started. Along with all the sunshine, June also brought a fresh batch of hot tunes.

     California's Red Hot Chili Peppers are back making a buzz with their first album in five years, The Getaway [June 17, via Warner Bros.]. The thirteen tracks have a vintage Peppers' sound, with frontman Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea putting their stamp on each song. For the title cut "The Getaway", Kiedis slows things down a bit over a rolling bassline. Check them out on tour as they swing through Russia, Belgium, Japan, the U.K., Canada, and the U.S. with big stops at Fuji Rock Festival and Lollapalooza.

     It's a good feeling to know the iPod is reloaded with new summer beats. The June Playlist blends in a healthy dose of alternative and indie rock and makes the perfect soundtrack while firing up the grill.
