Review: Decades in the making, Volume 3 serves as the first new full-length from Queens, New York hardcore punk pioneers Reagan Youth since 1990. While their classic 1984 debut EP Youth Anthems For The New Order would later be reissued as Volume 1 complete with additional bonus tracks, Volume 2 would be distributed following the band's initial break up. Crafted and completed by founding guitarist Paul Bakija, before his tragic passing in 2024 following a battle with cancer, Volume 3 is a tribute and testament to the tumultuous life and times of original frontman Dave Rubinstein (better known as Dave Insurgent), who sadly took his own life in 1993 following the death of his mother and murder of his girlfriend Tiffany Bresciani, at which time the couple dealt with severe heroin addiction. Poured over with care from Bakija and led by the feral delivery of new vocalist Madame St. Beatrice, the project delivers breakneck paced, snarling accounts, combining anger and deep concern to a work that ultimately would only see the light of day after none of the original members integral to its make up could live to see it released.

Review: Rosetta Stone, one of the most enduring bands from the influential second wave of gothic rock, returns with a brand-new studio album called Under the Weather. Known for their dark romance and chiming guitars, the new album stays true to form with lush keyboards and an undercurrent of sinister nostalgia, thanks to bandleader Karl North. Fans can look forward to pre-release singles and a significant media blitz to accompany this album, their first in 4 years. Formed in the 1980s by Porl King and Karl North, Rosetta Stone initially captured the jangly-guitar sounds of gothic rock. Their big break came after supporting The Mission on tour. The band later transitioned to a more electronic sound before disbanding in 1998. Now, gothic mastermind Porl King is back with an album that promises to transport fans back to goth's heyday. Like their namesake, British goth legends Rosetta Stone were pivotal in bridging the gap between the first wave of gothic rock and the emerging underground scene. Their music brought a romantic element to a dynamic era of black fashion and experimental freak culture.
