10. "Wish You Well" - Peel Dream Magazine
Peel Dream Magazine makes it to the A List this week. Their newest album, Rose Main Reading Room, is scheduled to come out on September 4, a year and a half after their last album, Magic is Pocketed, was released in January of 2023. Read about what Stereogum has to say here.
The band is finishing up their summer tour, that also heavily featured Wild Nothing, this weekend. Tonight, they're in Atlanta, GA and in Austin, TX on Sunday at Mohawk.
9. "That's How I'm Feeling" - Jack White
Jack White gets our attention with his track, "That's How I'm Feeling". This upbeat tune is off of his new album, No Name, that released on August 1, two years after his last album, Entering Heaven Alive, came out in July of 2022.
While no upcoming tour has been announced just yet, Jack White will be playing at Desert Daze in Rancho Las Perris, CA, which goes from October 11th to the 13th. Other shows can be requested here.
8. "Chicago" - Japandroids
Japandroids earns spot #8 with "Chicago", the first single from their upcoming album, Fate and Alcohol, releasing on October 18. This album is highly anticipated as the band has not had a new release in many years. We can happily say they have stayed true to their original sound, rocking out since at least 2009.
While Japandroids has not yet announced an upcoming tour, new shows can be requested here.
7. "Bells and Whistles" - Bright Eyes
Bright Eyes captures us with the first single from their upcoming album, Five Dice, All Threes, releasing on September 20. Since the release of "Bells and Whistles" on June 25, another track has been released called "Rainbow Overpass" featuring Alex Orange Drink, which came out on August 6.

They are playing at Megacorp Pavillion on April 23 in Newport, KY; Old Forester's Paristown Hall in Louisville, KY on April 24; and Egyptian Room at Old National Centre in Indianapolis, IN on April 25.
6. "Worthy" - Mavis Staples
Mavis Staples' "Worthy" brings the groovy, confident vibe we all needed this week. This track promotes self-love, appreciation and positivity. This is the first new music she has released in over two years after her album, Carry Me Home, came out in May of 2022, heavily featuring Levon Helm.
Mavis Staples has many shows listed for this fall, stopping in cities such as: Three Oaks, MI; Saratoga Springs, NY; Clearwater, FL and more!
