This week, Wax Tailor tops both the RPM chart and our overall top 30. Local heroes Squarewave debut at #3 with their new release on Artisinal Records. We have debuts by Moby, Conor Oberst, Pretenders, Weyes Blood, Deap Vally, Sam Evian, Shovels & Rope and Bob Weir on the T30. John Moulder and Charlie Hunter made it onto the Jazz chart, and crossover groups like Acid Arab and Balkan Beat Box are making waves in both World and RPM. Hard-hitting political music from Suicidal Tendencies goes #1 at Loud Rock, holding at #18 on the T30. And on our monthly Blues chart, Lil Ed & the Blues Imperials reign supreme this week for his visit to Madison.
