Dino Related News
While it is not from a new album it is always great to hear new Dinosaur Jr.! The band has released “Hold Unknown” as part of the Adult Swim Singles series.
It is available for streaming and downloads on all formats (Amazon, spotify, Google Music, iTunes) from Baked Goods Records.
SWEET APPLE, the band of rockers featuring J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr., Heavy Blanket), Tim Parnin (Cobra Verde, Chuck Mosley), John Petkovic (Cobra Verde, Death of Samantha, Guided By Voices) and Dave Sweetapple (Witch, Eerie), will release their new album, Sing the Night in Sorrow, on July 28 via Tee Pee Records. SWEET APPLE collaborated across several state lines to create the follow up to their critically acclaimed 2014 release, The Golden Age of Glitter, hailed as “throwback power pop that should soothe the soul of just about any riff-loving rock fan” by Esquire and one of the “Best Albums of 2014” by ABC News.
Given the band’s geographical reach — its four members live in Massachusetts, Vermont and Ohio — it’s no surprise that SWEET APPLE’s inner circle has expanded outwards for this release. The four-piece have confirmed that guest musicians who have contributed to Sing the Night in Sorrow include Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age),Robert Pollard (Guided by Voices), Rachel Haden (Haden Triplets) and Doug Gillard(Guided by Voices, Nada Surf). Meanwhile, Stephen McBean (Black Mountain, Pink Mountaintops) will join the band on second guitar.
Sing the Night in Sorrow explores themes such as longing and escape, darkness consumed by endless daylight, love amid lovelessness, faulty memory, alienation and distance. The LP is set to a musical palette that is wide-ranging, mixing atmosphere with impact. Sing The Night In Sorrow rolls out insurgent guitars, glitter-stomp, and orchestrated pop, at once timeless and contemporary.
“Sweet Apple is different from most bands in that we’ve all met on the road, in different places, far from home,” says Petkovic. “Cleveland is a world away from Vermont or Massachusetts, where Dave and J reside. It can be tough to keep it going when you’re spread out, but the distance and differences it brings informs the music in a way that makes it unique and gives the band a reunion-like quality whenever we get together. People always ask us, ‘What the hell are you doing in a band together?’”
With more details – and new music – due to be unveiled in the coming weeks, SWEET APPLE are gearing up to leave their mark on 2017. Follow the band on Facebook,Instagram and twitter.

Last week Glide Magazine posted their rankings of Dinosaur Jr albums and this week we get J Mascis’s take on his rankings thanks to Noisey Magazine.
We sat down with the frontman and unimpeachable guitar wizard, who notoriously does not like talking about his albums, to go through every single one of Dinosaur Jr.’s releases at length.
