In 2018 alone, the Minneapolis rapper and author released the excellent record <em>Chime<\/em> and a book titled <em>My Own Devices: True Stories from the Road on Music, Science, and Senseless Love<\/em>.

Their bombastic, turbo-charged powerpop marries Cheap Trick\u2019s hooks to Van Halen\u2019s superstar swagger. And singer Tina Halladay has serious David Lee Roth energy, right down to the flowing golden mane. This band will make you want to get a Trans Am and do donuts in the Walmart parking lot.

But if that\u2019s what\u2019s expected from Titus Andronicus, their latest LP <em>An Obelisk<\/em> challenges in a different way. It\u2019s a self-aware ripper that\u2019s both the band\u2019s shortest album and probably their most inspired since 2015\u2019s <em>The Most Lamentable Tragedy<\/em>.

Then in 2018, they returned as suddenly as they\u2019d left, with a new album called <em>Skylight<\/em>. It expands on the Pinegrove formula of emo-country, bringing clear-eyed messages of self-improvement and empathy.

And on their 2019 album, <em>Living Mirage<\/em>, the band swings for the fences. It\u2019s practically an arena rock record, loaded with hooks and power chords that are gloriously \u201980s.

The nine-piece instrumental group veers from Afrobeat to soul to heavy metal without ever breaking a sweat. Imagine if Booker T &amp; the M.G.\u2019s jammed with Black Sabbath. But instead of guitars, it\u2019s bombastic, pointed horns doing the riffing.

Prolific sludge metal icons Melvins played a huge influence on grunge; Kurt Cobain produced their 1993 album <em>Houdini<\/em>. Redd Kross, meanwhile, has blurred the lines between hardcore punk and powerpop for almost 40 years.

One of the artists was a singer I\u2019d never heard of named Angel Olsen. From her wavering voice and delicate guitar work, I could tell that she was destined for greater things than playing to 15 people in a small storefront. The alt-folk luminary\u2019s fourth album, <em>All Mirrors<\/em>, will release on Oct. 4.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Angel Olsen - All Mirrors (Official Video)\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jjt698Zv5jQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 40px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h2>Steve Earle<\/h2>\n<p><em>Stoughton Opera House, Nov. 15-16<\/em><\/p>\n<p>One of the best decisions I\u2019ve made in 2019 was to take a deep dive into Steve Earle. The outlaw country firebrand is one of the great American storytellers, cataloguing the underclass with empathy and a caustic wit. Earle himself has survived crippling addiction issues to reemerge on the other side, not as a cautionary tale but as a triumph. And \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KB3cc1awNjk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Copperhead Road<\/a>\u201d sounds even more badass when it\u2019s sung by a guy who\u2019s been to hell and back.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 40px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h2>The Avett Brothers<\/h2>\n<p><em>The Sylvee, Nov. 15-16<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Siblings Scott and Seth Avett are two of the biggest names in American folk.

It will focus on the <a href=\"https:\/\/consequenceofsound.net\/2019\/06\/the-avett-brothers-closer-than-together\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">flawed individualism of America<\/a>, while continuing to utilize the brothers\u2019 penchant for twisting their home genre to its outer reaches. After all, how many other Americana artists have former Def Jam boss Rick Rubin producing their albums?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Avett Brothers - High Steppin&#039;\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iwebrzEldA0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 40px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h2>Blues Traveler<\/h2>\n<p><em>The Sylvee, Nov. 17<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The \u201990s were a strange, experimental time in modern rock, when bands that didn\u2019t quite fit the mainstream mold could still become stars. This was the case with Blues Traveler, a quasi-jam band led by harmonica virtuoso John Popper. The group scored a pair of hits with \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ousaiByU1ko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Run-Around<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pdz5kCaCRFM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hook<\/a>,\u201d both of which appeared on the sextuple-platinum <em>Four<\/em>. These days, Blues Traveler is still going strong \u2014 and getting increasingly experimental. Their 2018 album <em>Hurry Up and Hang Around<\/em> sees them returning to their jam roots.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 40px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h2>MisterWives<\/h2>\n<p><em>Majestic Theatre, Nov. 17<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Fueled By Ramen began as a punk label co-founded by one of the dudes from Less Than Jake, but it\u2019s since become a launchpad for effervescent pop rock. Paramore and Panic! at the Disco highlight its roster, and now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/columns\/pop\/8523602\/misterwives-sign-fueled-by-ramen-interview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MisterWives are joining on<\/a> for the release of their third album. The group\u2019s totally \u201980s pop rock is catchy as hell and slyly artsy, very similar to what their labelmate Hayley Williams and her band did on Paramore\u2019s fantastic 2017 album <em>After Laughter<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MisterWives: whywhywhy [OFFICIAL VIDEO]\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/khSjdJ-61n0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 40px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h2>Elvis Costello &amp; the Imposters<\/h2>\n<p><em>Orpheum Theater, Nov. 24<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Declan Patrick MacManus \u2014 or as he\u2019s more commonly known, Elvis Costello \u2014 may not look \u201cpunk,\u201d but he\u2019s still the most punk rock dude ever. He was <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/elvis-costello-snl-banned\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">banned from <em>Saturday Night Live<\/em><\/a>. One of his biggest hits is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LrjHz5hrupA\">blistering screed<\/a> against British colonialism. And just this year, he tried to turn down an Order of the British Empire appointment only to be <a href=\"https:\/\/consequenceofsound.net\/2019\/06\/elvis-costello-obe-award\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">convinced otherwise by his mom<\/a>. That rebel spirit carries over to his music, and even into his sixties Costello is still outpacing artists half his age. I would know: <a href=\"https:\/\/isthmus.com\/music\/elvis-costello-at-overture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I was there<\/a> the last time he played Madison.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 40px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h2>John K. Samson<\/h2>\n<p><em>High Noon Saloon, Nov. 25<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Few artists have impacted me like The Weakerthans. The bookish Canadian pop punk quartet is responsible for some of my favorite lyrics ever (\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rw9GBDEb8w8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">let the toast to absent members push through the ceiling<\/a>\u201d). And that\u2019s all due to head honcho John K. Samson. One of rock\u2019s greatest storytellers, the unassuming Samson is hyper-observant. His songs are full of little details that make you feel like they\u2019re about you \u2014 even if you\u2019ve never <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xQF5xuLrjpY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">curled<\/a> before in your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The days are getting shorter, the air cooler, and everything is coming up pumpkin.
