  • 10 Year Reflection - The Sonic Collective

    10 Year Reflection - The Sonic Collective
    2024/11/13
    We think it was in late 2014 that a thirst for exposure to a greater range of music led us to come together as a group – The Sonic Collective (TSC). Our goal is to each month select, listen to, and consider an album of ‘significance’ that is at least six-years of age. We tend to avoid greatest hits compilations and live albums, but exceptions have been made. Over the years we’ve listened to nearly 150 albums, had a few special rounds, and also interviewed a handful of artists and experts (Danko Jones, Sam Roberts, Alan Cross). So here we are, at 10-years of musical discovery, which seems like the ideal time to reflect on where we’ve been, the music we’ve enjoyed, perhaps albums we didn’t like so much, and think about how the experience has shaped us as fans of music. Enjoy listening to our look back on decade of exploring music!

  • Album Selection: Joan Jett - Bad Reputation

    Album Selection: Joan Jett - Bad Reputation
    2024/11/10
    Our pick for December 2024 is Joan Jett's Bad Reputation, her first debut solo studio album after her band The Runaways called it quits. It was originally released independently in May 1980, self titled, then Jett signed with Boardwalk Records and it was re-released worldwide with this new title on January 23, 1981. It was pretty favourably received, with Jett having song writing credits on just 4 of 12 songs, with 5 singles being released. This was pre Jett forming The Black Hearts. Today Jett is recognized as one of the OG females of rock n’ roll and is still going strong today. She’s a legend. Dig in and see what you think...
