Info: Recorded live in Chicago in front of an enthusiastic crowd, ANOTHER 700 MILES strips away much of the production gloss of 3 Doors Down's studio albums, revealing a surprisingly earthy Southern rock band in top form. The big hits ("Duck and Run," "When I'm Gone," "Kryptonite," "Here without You") are all included here, and they benefit greatly from somewhat looser, bar

INFO:Following the widespread critical and commercial success of 2003’s Dub Side of the Moon and 2006’s Radiodread, Easy Star Records announces the Easy Star All-Stars’ complete reggae re-imagining of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.Personnel: Victor Rice (guitar); Michael Goldwasser (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, synthesizer, percussion); Paul Schellack (acoustic guitar)

INFO:It stands to reason that rock revisionists Easy Star All-Stars would follow DUB SIDE OF THE MOON, their dub-inflected take on Pink Floyd's all-time classic DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, with a similarly styled version of Radiohead's OK COMPUTER. Both OK COMPUTER and DARK SIDE OF THE MOON were the landmark statements of sophisticated art-rock in their times, and the All-Stars bring the same

Info:The murmuring continued with this, R.E.M.'s second album, recorded in only two weeks, and yet critical acclaim and a growing fanbase had not made the music any less elusive. From the cover depiction of a winding river/snake, the jangly music within was similarly ambiguous, drenched in alternately murky, then dazzlingly clear, images. The water theme predominates throughout side one's

Info:R.E.M.'s full-length debut is a landmark album that set the standard for the next 10 years of indie rock. The Athens quartet combined Byrdsy, folk-rock guitar jangle with obscurantist lyrics and a post-punk compositional sensibility to create a vibrant new sound that would soon be imitated by every high-school poet with a Rickenbacker guitar. R.E.M. was also one of the first bands to

Info:Chronic Town is the debu EP by the American alternative rock band R.E.M., released in 1982 on I.R.S. Records. Chronic Town is the first illustration of R.E.M.'s signature musical style: jangling guitars, chords played in arpeggio, murmured vocals, and obscure lyrics.Reviewer Richard Grabel wrote, "Chronic Town is five songs that spring to life full of immediacy and action and healthy

Info:By 2002, if most people remembered Dishwalla at all, it was probably for their cover of the Carpenters' "It's Going to Take Some Time" from the tribute album released back in the grunge era. Well, the Dishwalla that presents itself on OPALINE is all grown up and not afraid to show it. The title track opens things up with a moody, Eastern flavor that suggests a cross between the mellower

Info:Dishwalla's debut album features alternative pop-rock with a hint of soul, and it's distinguished by powerful melodies and edgy guitars. "Explode" is a nice dichotomy of '80s pop and rough guitar noise, creating a tension characteristic of Dishwalla's music. The band often uses contrasting musical styles in the same song to keep things interesting."Counting Blue Cars" catches the

Info:The New England trio Dispatch are back with their second full-length album, Bang Bang, a sharp collection of ten songs that is pleasing on all ends of the musical spectrum, from instruments to vocals to songwriting. Rarely does the record fall into a pattern, and instead Dispatch rotate their sound, from Guster-esque mellowness to the quick style of Sublime. And sometimes they make the

Info:The Boston-based trio Dispatch is a band in every sense of the word. Swapping instruments and sharing the vocal responsibilities give the group peerless versatility. Wicked acoustic guitars, playful bongos, and resplendent harmonies proliferate Silent Steeples. The consistency of the album is its greatest attribute, which also makes it difficult to pick one song over another as a

Info:D.I.Y. superstars Dispatch have made a name for themselves by embodying the punk aesthetic of doing it yourself without corporate intervention, even though their music owes nothing to the sound of punk itself. In fact, given the songs on Who Are We Living For?, a more ideal audience for their funk/world/jazz/R&B/rap-tinged rock & roll is graduated Dave Matthews Band listeners:

Info:As surely as long-haired, mother-loving bands from Florida, Alabama and Georgia could put the smell of cotton on '70s arena-rock, the children of the South are now cottoning to modern rock. The boundaries have loosened up a bit--the paradigms of this new breed of Southern rock include Live, from Pennsylvania (just above the Mason-Dixon line), and Arizona's Gin Blossoms--and so has the

Before the breakthrough that was THE BENDS and the colossal OK COMPUTER, there was the quietly magnificent PABLO HONEY. "Creep" was the surprise hit single in the UK, but even that gave scant indication of how special this band would become. Benefiting from a raw production, the debut was undoubtedly less slick and accomplished than subsequent work, although Thom Yorke's vulnerable but

OK COMPUTER was nominated for the 1998 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year and won the 1998 Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance.OK COMPUTER, Radiohead's third album, is the bombastic follow-up to 1995's sleeper hit THE BENDS, which left critics and listeners as impressed with the band's ability as they were curious about their potential. In spite of its technological-sounding title

Radiohead rebound from one-hit wonder status with this sophomore classic--the first to blueprint their operatic sonics.On only their second outing Oxford's Radiohead fulfilled their huge potential, fashioning an album whose relentlessly downbeat tone was offset by an ability to formulate consistently winning melodies.

As part of the long-running, gimmicky series from Fearless Records and BMG, Punk Goes Acoustic features a gaggle of youthful punk revivalists unplugging the patch chords and tuning up the acoustics. The bands aren't doing covers, which is a format change from the gimmickry of past titles like Punk Goes Metal or Punk Goes Pop. Instead, you get bands like Simple Plan, the Ataris, Further Seems
