April was a particularly exciting month for anticipated and big-name artist releases, as well as for some surprise drops by new and on-the-radar indie rock bands.
The kick-ass new single, “Taking Me Back,” from Jack White‘s latest album, easily made our No. 1 spot. Two decades on, White’s power as a force for rock music around the globe is unmistakable. Once the unofficial frontman of indie/alt guitar rock, White has since become a global phenomenon and an A-list rock star.
“Taking Me Back” proves that White can still apply his searing White Stripes-battle riffs with new ideas and concepts.
Plus, check out the other indie rock gems from The Smile; Silverbacks; DITZ; Kurt Vile (yes again); Built to Spill (still got it!); KEG; Viagra Boys, IDLES and another 2022 sensation: Wet Legs.
