New Review Update: Friday, August 31, 2012

This year has seen plenty of great records, and we're still playing catch-up, as writers Rich Cocksedge and Kyle Bawinkel check out the latest releases from White Lung and Down By Law. John Gentile talks about drugs drugs drugs as they apply to the new Morning Glory album. Me? I give props to French metalgaze 'n' Lemonheads throwbacks. Don't judge me, with your judging judgements.
