This year I’m working to focus as much as I can on the site, but it’s also a big financial undertaking. If you love what RSTB offers to the music community, please consider supporting the site with subscriptions stating at $3. Also, bands, if you need bios, reach out! Thanks!

I don’t often post here anymore, but for all the Twitter folks, it's list time again. I've finally whittled it down. My 100 favorite albums and 15 favorite reissues of 2025. It was a hell of a year for music! Thanks, as always, for reading. bit.ly/44U65VY

I put together this great Cosmic American tribute to one of my all time favorites, Relatively Clean Rivers. All proceeds from the album will go to @musicares.bsky.social to help with recovery from L.A. Wildfires. Check out the tracklist and details here: bit.ly/3XslclR

The title track from the new album, Heat Dome, is doused in haze, rippling through the ether with a beautiful blur. It’s a rare moment of clarity on an album that dives deep into the corroded underbrush. A gem for fans of Grouper or Tower Recordings bit.ly/4b0e1qA

Buzzing with a power pop heart and a halo of harmonies, the new Rishis single fizzes to life. The band even pulls in Superchunk’s Mac McCaughan on guitar for the track, culminating in a searing solo that tumbles through the speakers with infectious energy. bit.ly/4gIiXlh
