NY-via-Texas singer-songwriter Blair Howerton intended her first full-length album as Why Bonnie, 2022’s 90 in November, to be a country album; for its follow-up, she didn’t have a specific genre in mind, but plenty of country twang works its way into the songs on Wish on the Bone, along with tender folk and crunchy indie rock. “Three Big Moons,” with its soaring refrain of “Houston, we have a problem” is an immediate highlight, and one of the most country-leaning songs on the album; elsewhere, artists like Cat Power, Wednesday, and Land of Talk come to mind.

Though, these six garage rock albums have other elements that make them stand out in the genre.

‘This is a game changer.’ Ordering off the kid’s menu comes with a certain set of expectations. Small portions, lower prices—possibly an age restriction—but generally, nothing too off-base as far as ordering food.

New Orleans ska band Bad Operation have been one of the most beloved bands in the New Tone Ska scene (named after a term they coined) since pretty much the moment they formed. Members previously played in Fatter Than Albert, The Flaming Tsunamis, PEARS, and other bands, and Bad Operation formed with a clear, unique focus and vision that separated them from all of their past bands and all of their peers. From their black-and-white aesthetic to a version of ska that had very little to do with the American ska-punk boom, the influence of 2 Tone was clear (hence the punny “New Tone” designation), and Bad Op borrowed from 2 Tone in a way that looked to the past to shape the future. Their 2020 debut album was received as an instant-classic, they kept the energy going on a 2023 split EP with Joe Gittleman (ex-Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Avoid One Thing), and today they return with another new single ahead of a tour with The Suicide Machines, HEY-SMITH, Kill Lincoln, and others.
