2026 albums

Albums I have purchased in 2026. And by album I usually mean MP3 album.

  1. If Tyketto had released their first record in 1987 instead of the early 90s, they would have made it big. Melodic metal was DOA by the time they got a record deal. If you like Tyketto, you'll love this.

  2. Tuk Smith & The Restless Hearts

    8 songs. 27 minutes. This is how you do 80s inspired power pop.

  3. Pennywhistle

    A music email newsletter that I followed mentioned this today - it's his college roommate. The music was made on cassette in 89/90, and he recently remastered it and put it on Bandcamp. An excellent use of $5 IMO. If The Replacements doing The Beatles is your vibe, you will enjoy this.

  4. Tuk Smith & The Restless Hearts

  5. Tuk Smith & The Restless Hearts

    Just discovered this band in the last week and I've had them on repeat play all week. It's a throwback sound, sort of a cross between Cheap Trick and The Replacements.
