Primal punk power propels Ezra Furman's 'Twelve Nudes" into the rarified atmosphere of The Clash's 'London Calling' as an era defining album.

Saida Dahir's 'The Walking Stereotype' is powerful, passionate and potent. This is the voice of a righteously angry person propelled by a desire to be heard.

'I Sold My Soul To The Devil When I Was 12' from GRLwood is Queercore/punk at its finest, not a band to be messed with or an album to be missed.

Team Dresch have re-released and remastered, 'Choices, Chances, Changes', Captain My Captain', and 'Personal Best', three great examples of Queercore

'The Odessa Job' from VulgarGrad is one of those albums which are a sheer delight to listen to from beginning to end with enthralling music and vocals.

'Growing Upward' from Rupa and the April Fishes is an album of great music and powerful words - not something we're used to anymore, but something we need.

'Songs of Our Native Daughters' from Our Native Daughters is as rich and textured, and fraught with violence and emotional turmoil, as the history of Africans in the West.

8-Bit Heroes first album, 'Try Blowing In It', is pure pop punk alchemy that will make you feel better about contemporary music.

'Una Noche con Ruben Blades' is superb. If you’re into stellar music, fluent and elegant, then this is the album you’ve been seeking.

You may not 'like every song on 'War Zone' by Yoko Ono, but as with all the best art it will make you think and form an opinion.
