Seattle-based hard rockers featuring members of the Missionary Position and Duff McKagan. Seattle-based quartet Walking Papers make no-nonsense, guitar-heavy rock & roll. 
Walking Papers
My Luck Pushed Back (Jeff Angel / Walking Papers) 3:54
This Is How It Ends (Jeff Angel / Walking Papers) 6:29
from WP2 2018
Packed with enough dirty guitar riffs to fill a smoky roadside bar, Walking Papers' second album, WP2, is another dose of no-nonsense rock & roll from the Seattle-based group. Recorded in early 2015 -- shortly after wrapping up touring behind their self-titled debut -- WP2 arrived three years later in 2018, due to bassist Duff McKagan's obligations with his other band, Guns N' Roses. Improving upon their first with polished production and a livelier vigor, WP2 is blues-drenched rock that fans of Queens of the Stone Age and Screaming Trees should enjoy. Frontman Jeff Angell's voice carries the project, his gritty delivery reminiscent of Bono filtered through the murk of Mark Lanegan...

London-based rock & roll band featuring members of Fat White Family, Insecure Men, and Paranoid London. 
Warmduscher
Big Wilma (Saul Adamczewski / Jack Everett / Craig Higgins / Ben Romans-Hopcraft / Quinn Whalley) 2:05
The Sweet Smell of Florida (Saul Adamczewski / Jack Everett / Craig Higgins / Ben Romans-Hopcraft / Quinn Whalley) 4:15
from Whale City 2018
There's a lot about Warmduscher's music that qualifies it as good-time rock & roll (albeit of a distinctly deviant variety), but there's a whole lot more going on in Whale City. Their weirdly wild 2015 debut, Khaki Tears, set them apart from any standardized classification, and with the follow-up, they certainly continue to plow a furrow as outliers...

Raw and raucous blues-punk ensemble fronted by the husband-and-wife team of Jon Spencer and Cristina Martinez.  All-star N.Y.C. blues-punk combo Boss Hog was helmed by the husband-and-wife team of singer Cristina Martinez and singer/guitarist Jon Spencer, who'd previously teamed up in the legendary cult band Pussy Galore.
Boss Hog
Billy (Boss Hog) 3:47
Signal (Boss Hog) 2:54
Sunday Routine (Boss Hog) 3:49
from Brood X 2017
Boss Hog have always been a band content to work on a time-line that would puzzle most bands, perfectly willing to go five years between releases as they attended to their other projects. But 2017's Brood X arrives over 16 years after their last proper album, 2000's Whiteout, as Cristina Martinez sets aside her duties as a working mom and Jon Spencer takes some downtime from his Blues Explosion. If Boss Hog sound a bit different than they did at the dawn of the 21st century, that's to be expected, but Brood X (and the 2016 companion EP Brood Star) reveals that they've changed very little conceptually; their dirty mixture of punkified blues, raw funk, and stoned but committed show band swagger is a bit less swampy, but it will still make you feel good and greasy after a few spins...
