Rewind: The Band – Don’t Do It – Rock of Ages
We’re changing up the format of Sunday Rewind a bit, now going even deeper by going one song at a time. So what track would we want to showcase for the debut of the format? The answer came pretty quickly when by chance, or fate, what could be the perfect rock track popped up on the shuffle. [...]
Sunday Rewind: Social Distortion – Live at the Roxy
One of the most enraging phenomena in the music world today are the many misconceptions tied to the punk rock genre. Punk rock began, and remains today in its true form, a boundless form of expression, immune to stylistic categorization. That is, and always will be, the crux of where punk rock came from and [...]
Sunday Rewind: Editors – An End Has a Start
In 2005, a small band from Birmingham, England began to make some underground noise, impassioning the indie set in London, who passed on the word to the New York City community. Editors had released their single for ‘Bullets’ to much fanfare and soon their star would rise at a dizzying rate, seeing the band release [...]
Sunday Rewind: Robert Palmer – Sneakin’ Sally Through the Alley
To most people, Robert Palmer’s break out was the late ’80s run that included ‘Simply Irresistable’ and ‘Addicted to Love’. One glance at his top tracks in iTunes and this statement is proven true. However, his true breakout was more than a decade earlier. Aside from a legion of Phish fans (they frequently covered ‘Sneakin’), [...]
Sunday Rewind: Hepcat – Right on Time
Great to be back from holiday and good to come back into the throws of summer in NYC. I felt a bit guilty having not presented this week’s Sunday Rewind prior to that magnificent Memorial Day weekend, but alas, it’s always better late than never. This week’s album comes from a ’90s third wave ska [...]
Sunday Rewind: VAST – April
My first experience with VAST was right after the release of the first album Visual Audio Sensory Theater. My high school art teacher was a music junkie as well, and while we had many differences in our taste, we did have some common ground and a high level of respect for each other’s musical knowledge. [...]
Sunday Rewind: Bob Marley & The Wailers – Talkin’ Blues
In honor of the release of the new documentary Marley that was released this month, we’re digging through the reggae box for this week’s Sunday Rewind. It’s pretty tough to find any Bob Marley record that isn’t in a ton of people’s collections, but perhaps my favorite record from the late, great, rastaman is one that [...]
Sunday Rewind: The Music – S/T
We’re going back to London 2002 for this week’s Rewind. This time we’re looking at the debut self-titled record from The Music, a Leeds-based dance-alt-rock band with all of the potential in the world, being heralded as the best unsigned band in the UK prior to their signing to Hut. I was in London for [...]

Every week Mick and Chucky reach into the archives and pull out their favorite records that you probably don’t own, but definitely should. Call it our weekly offering to the Church of Rock n Roll.
