Monday Monday… though this day is usually accompanied by heavy feet and a desire to hop back into bed, fear not, good reader, for I have some excellent new music to report to you! Thankfully, our newest releases from Japandroid, Sleigh Bells, and La Sera (to name a few groups) are getting plenty of spins on the air and our Top 30 chart this week features just about every genre.

Our number one artist this week, Japandroids, seem to come roaring out of the speakers with music that is just plain awesome and exciting. Imagine if Springsteen eloped with The Gaslight Anthem and hired Dave Grohl as a nanny to raise their rambunctious baby, maybe then the child would sound like Japandroids. That’s the best description I can come up with, listen for yourself!
