Boss Hog, the on-again, off-again musical lovechild of prominent NYC rocker couple Jon Spencer and Cristina Martinez (pictured), is on again in a big way with their new album on In The Red records. The wacky, distinctively lo-fi soundtrack to adult animation series Bob’s Burgers continues to pop up on various shows, keeping things spicy and offbeat. This week’s top 30 chart actually has quite a few albums from artists who’ve been together a long time, and whether it’s their first new release in years or they’ve been producing music all along, these “senior scenesters” are showing everyone how it’s done with amazing new work in all styles! Also check out the new Jesus and Mary Chain, Ray Davies, Blondie, Robyn Hitchcock, Thurston Moore, Wire and The Upper Crust to see what we mean.
Listen to WORT’s free-form rock shows after 8 pm weeknights and on Friday afternoons to catch all the newest, latest music coming out. Genre charts for world, jazz, metal, electronic and hiphop should be back online by the end of June. And if you appreciate hearing new, underground music by mostly independent musicians on mostly independent labels, let us know with a pledge of support by calling 608-256-2001 or going online to wortfm.org/donate between now and June 19th. Thanks!!
