| Foo Fighters remain solid as Concrete & Gold Seattle mega-rockers Foo Fighters are back with their brand new album Concrete & Gold [Sept. 15, via RCA]. The eleven tracks were produced by pop producer Greg Kurstin, which is a different route for the band. The sound of the record still remains very Foo-sounding. On the single "The Line," frontman Dave Grohl tells a story about being a satellite searching for life, while the band lays down a vintage rock backbone. The rest of the album is a solid listen all the way through. Check them out on tour as they swing through the United States with big gigs at CalJam and Voodoo Music + Arts Experience. The summer may be over, but it's a good feeling to know the iPods are refreshed with new tunes to last into the fall. The September Playlist makes a good companion for the first bonfire of the season. September 2017 Playlist

| Queens Of The Stone Age become Villains The summer is winding down, but the influx of awesome new music is still going strong. August brought a bunch of sunshine, and a massive stack of fresh tunes. California stoner-rockers Queens Of The Stone Age are back with their seventh studio album entitled Villains [August 25, via Matador]. The nine tracks were produced by Mark Ronson and are surprisingly lengthy, but pack a punch filled with crunchy guitar riffs and raucous drums. On the opening track "Feet Don't Fail Me," the band slowly builds an eerie intro and then frontman Josh Homme explodes with an in-your-face guitar riff and lyrics about growing up in the desert. The rest of the album does not disappoint and is a quality listen all the way through. Check them out as their tour romps through the United States with big stops at Riot Fest and Cal Jam Fest. As the last few weeks of summer come to an end, it is a good feeling to know the mp3 players are reloaded and ready to go.

| 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.

| Muse launches Drones |
The summer is officially here, and thankfully for us, a boat-load of fresh new music came down the pipeline just in time for the backyard barbecues.
English mega-rockers Muse are back in the fold with their latest offering Drones [June 5, via Warner Bros.]. Frontman Matt Bellamy explains the new album as "more politically charged" and "has less synths and computers" than their previous three albums. This can be heard on the loud rocker "Mercy" which features the band's vintage heavy bass and Bellamy's operatic singing style. Check them out as their tour treks through Europe, Japan, and South America.
It's good to know there is a fresh batch of tunes to refill the mp3 players on these warm summer nights. Whether mowing the lawn, or lounging by the pool, the June Playlist provides the perfect soundtrack.

| Broken Bells stay After The Disco |
The new year is off to a fresh start with a pile of awesome mp3s that will most certainly keep the iPod going strong throughout these frigid winter nights.
The duo of James Mercer and Danger Mouse, better known as indie-rock outfit Broken Bells are back in action with their new album After The Disco [February 4, via Columbia]. Mercer explains the new offering, "If you were to play the songs on a piano, they would sound pretty sad. But you add the beat and hooks, and then it becomes a party record." The title track "After The Disco" shows off Mercer's story-telling lyrical ability and Danger Mouse's trademark synths. An extensive tour kicks off late February in Minnesota and includes stops at Coachella and Governors Ball.
January's Playlist kicks off the year strong with a fine blend of alternative rock and breezy dance numbers. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come as the music world continues to spin forward.

| The Weeknd opens Kiss Land |
July is in true form as the sun shines down and the breeze flows by on these peaceful evenings. The influx of brand new mp3s is making for yet another red hot summer. Whether at the water park, or flying down roller coasters, this month's mix will for sure keep the adrenaline going all night.
Toronto R&B sensation Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd is set to launch his brand new debut album Kiss Land [September 10, via Republic] at the end of the summer. Heavy on bass, and catchy on hooks, The Weeknd delivers some bedroom shaking anthems. As he echoes 'This ain't nothin' to relate to' on the title track "Kiss Land," his beats may start catching on sooner than he thinks. The album-supporting tour hits all major hotspots all over Canada and the U.S. throughout the fall.
This seems to be the most relaxing time of the year. Perfect for the headphones and a refreshing cocktail. The July playlist zigs and zags on its route as some heavy hitters emerge and some hidden gems lay quietly in the beach sand.
