ZZ Top: Tres Hombres

This month we’ll focus on ZZ Top’s third album Tres Hombres, which was released in 1973. While not very warmly received upon its release, as time has passed, it’s regularly recognized as the band’s finest album. It was their first album to enter the Top 10 and single La Grange reached number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100. Get ready to soak in the blues, rock, and dive fully into the original early roots of what has made ZZ Top one of the world’s greatest and longest standing rock bands.

Review of Sleaford Mods: Divide and Exit

The Sleaford Mods released Divide and Exit, their 7th album in 2014. This new intense music from the working class English punks Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn has a unique sound and voice from the streets. Listen to our show as we dissect this rising act and how we feel this is a new movement in music and punk rock.
