NEW ALBUMS

Soundgarden have released their new live album Live From the Artists Den!
Complete tracklisting and details can be found at ArtistsDen.com/Soundgarden/
SPOON – EVERYTHING HITS AT ONCE: THE BEST OF SPOON
Spoon have released 9 albums since 1996. Everything from the vocals, to the drum sound, to the general groove, always make it undeniably a Spoon album; even if they have come a long way since the loud, indie garage rock of their debut album.
Everything Hits At Once is the band’s first retrospective. It eschews any tracks from the first two albums, in order to carefully construct a cohesive mood throughout the entire collection.
13 tracks including the brand new song, “No Bullets Spent”.
