Joe Medina (Merch) makes the kind of music that gets picked up by other artists before it hits the ear of the general public. Maybe this is why his newest album features members of Oh Sees and The Growlers; maybe this is why his accolades come from well respected, underground publications, artists, writers and from […]
June is officially African American Music Appreciation Month. Like most “appreciation months” the idea seems a bit ridiculous, considering the amount of music we consume that wouldn’t exist if not for contributions from the Black community. But unfortunately, a lot of that history gets swept under the rug, often taking credit away from many amazing […]
We are thrilled and incredibly lucky to once again be hosting one of our newest favorite bands. Outer Spaces is a band out of Baltimore, Maryland, currently signed to Western Vinyl (another Stinkweeds Favorite) and releasing their first album on that label in late June. We previously covered this album as one of our “5 […]
No matter what kind of Dad you have, chances are, he’s got his taste in music…and he just won’t shut up about it. So, this Father’s Day, we’re giving him a break from sharing all that knowledge that, frankly, nobody asked about. I mean, how many times can you be made aware of the “slow […]
Stef Chura – Midnight [Saddle Creek] A timeless rocker from Stef Chura. Chura’s voice hits like a truck. It’s pushed and strained to that sweet spot right before it becomes contrived. She has a natural affect that a lot of singers might try to fake, with little to no success. The melodies ramble almost in […]
As we creep ever so slowly into what is sure to be a long, hot Summer (we will pay for our extended Spring), it’s important to remind ourselves that our interest in vinyl records doesn’t come without hazards. If you’re just now exploring the wonderful world of vinyl, you should know that it has a […]
Big Thief – U.F.O.F [4AD] In our eyes, Big Thief can do no wrong. When songs originate from such a deep place singer/songwriter Adrienne Lenker seems to have sole access to, any and all directions will be met with admiration and praise. U.F.O.F. puts aside a lot of the heavier “rock” moments that are […]
This week marks 32 years of music from Stinkweeds! Although we have grown in many ways over the years, we still feel a very strong connection to our past. We’ve worked hard to maintain an identity that goes back to that first store opened by an ambitious 19 year old who just wanted to have […]
We’re hot of the heals of Record Store Day, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have plenty of reasons for you to line up at our door! This year has been FULL of incredible releases, seemingly with no end in site. Check out a few April titles that we just can’t get enough of! Kelly […]
