AFI’s twelfth album both honors their history of reinvention and pushes them into new sonic terrain. Drawing on post-punk touchstones—Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees—the band weaves a singular, dreamlike mood. Dark, ethereal, and commanding, it’s quintessentially AFI.

Horizons/West finds Thrice completing the journey begun on 2021’s Horizons/East, crafting a sequel that’s equal parts expansive and intimate. The album blends cinematic post-rock textures and rhythmic intricacy with grounded meditations on memory, perception, and social influence.

Whomp Whack Thunder is a title as bold and unrelenting as the band’s Texas Rock spirit. Since 2007, the six-piece has built a reputation through nearly 3,000 electrifying live shows, sold-out headlining gigs, and landmark festival slots. With 2.4 million albums sold, 3.6 billion streams, and multiple RIAA certifications, Whiskey Myers embody independence, grit, and the sweet spot where twang collides with rock & roll fire.

Dodie’s sophomore effort is a tender, understated collection of piano and acoustic textures framed by wistful vocals. Highlights like “Smart Girl” and “Tall Kids” cut through with emotional intensity, while the playful “I Feel Bad For You, Dave” shows her narrative flair. Gentle, autumnal, and intimate.

Something More Than Free followed the career-defining Southeastern with songs about work, love, and memory, solidifying him as one of America’s great songwriters. A decade on, the album returns newly remixed, giving fresh clarity to its Grammy-winning tracks. Added bonus: the bluesy b-side “Should I Go Missing,” a slide-guitar gem destined for live setlists.

Often referred to as MMJ's "OK Computer" and considered one of the 500 greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone, Z was the pinnacle of the bands early career and has gone on to sell nearly half a million copies. This 20th anniversary edition was remastered from original tapes and includes 14 unreleased outtakes and demos, plus reworked artwork.

This joyride through sonic terrain is gloriously loud, anthemic, bombastic and beautiful, with instantly captivating songs that achieve the rare feat of evoking nostalgia while sounding completely new. The band's jagged, fuzzed-out sound has antecedents in '90s guitar bands like Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, but Rocket are doing something uniquely their own.
