Staff Picks With Chance the Rapper, River City Rebels, and The Way Down Wanderers

Associate Editor Ruby Risch

Chance the Rapper

"Let's Go On The Run"

The Big Day got a bad rap when it dropped in 2019 and I'm still not sure why. Chance was out here experimenting, throwing fresh sounds at the wall, and folks just weren't ready. 

Senior Editor Brett Callwood

River City Rebels

"Glitter and Gold"

Vermont punk 'n' rollers the River City Rebels have been kicking around since 1997, and the Hate to be Loved album is their best (produced, as it was, by sadly deceased New York Doll Sylvain Sylvain). "Glitter and Gold" is lifted from it, and it's a raucous, riotous rocker.

Operations Manager Robin Rose

The Way Down Wanderers

"Sweet Morning Vision"

"I’m sick of seeing how the world has changed us"

They are an eclectic blend of Folk, Bluegrass, and Americana Roots whose energy and rhythm create movement and joy in all experiencing their live performances.
