Arlo Parks

Collapsed in Sunbeams

January 29, 2021

Adult Alternative Pop/Rock

This album is a story about some of the hardest things the human experience can produce. Things like addiction, unrequited love, and a lack of self-confidence, are all delivered over these eerily perfect pop melodies and slam-poetry style lyrics.

- Mivick Smith

Bo Diddley

The Black Gladiator

June, 1970

Rock & Roll

Did you know Bo Diddley invented the elephant? Don't take our word for it, listen to "Elephant Man," the opening track on Bo's wild 1970's album The Black Gladiator, and hear him explain it himself. A manic fusion of proto-funk rhythms, wailing organ, hard rock punch, and Bo's trademark feral guitar, this album moved him past his 1950s and '60s classics into rollicking new territory where he sounded right at home.
