Metal’s elder statesman keeps the dream alive with a chugging, leaden-riffin’ version of, well, Dio…or more accurately, Rainbow!

Aggressive, unsettling drum ’n’ bass from this Bristol-based duo.

Bombastic BPMs! Percolating bass! R2D2-esque squiggles! Phunky drummer beats! Scratchy vocal samples! Ho-hum!

Alt-Country |
A relentless hook and some nifty mandolin pickin' are at the heart of this infectious slice of country-rock. This Beaver is damn good.

Funky southwestern blues, served Stevie Ray-style with plenty of tasty licks. With a side of strong vocals, it could have been a four-star treat.

Hooboy. A word of advice, Sheila: leave the piano-laden confessionals to Tori Amos.
