2. Girl Trouble — Hit It Or Quit It: 80s garage rock at its finest! In 1988, K Records and Sub Pop released Girl Trouble’s garage classic, Hit It or Quit It. This rattling rock ‘n’ roll album was the first full-length record that Sub Pop ever released. The iconic album is now getting a 25th anniversary reissue and includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks, “White Lightning” and “Shakin’ All Over”.

4. The Hidden Cameras — Age: Canadian indie pop outfit, the Hidden Cameras are back with a new album. Age is their first full-length record since their 2009 release, Origin:Orphan. It’s melodic, it’s dark, it’s sexy, and it’s full of “Gay Goth Scene” — not really, but we dig that song on the album.

5. Against Me! — Transgender Dysphoria Blues: Florida political punks, Against Me! keep those power chords loud & proud with the release of their highly anticipated, Transgender Dysphoria Blues. This is Against Me’s first album since their 2010 White Crosses release and it’s also the group’s first album since singer Tom Gabel came out as a woman (Laura Jane Grace). True to their signature pop punk sound, Laura Jane Grace still delivers that same bravado that makes you want to throw a fist in the air and sing-along.
