Stardoc Fences

Swingin' for the Fences is the debut album by Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, an 18-piece big band led by Gordon Goodwin.

A unique blend of country, folk rock and Americana music, Johnny Woods' songwriting is reminiscent of classic Neil Young and Bob Dylan. "Broken Fences" is a modern classic not to be missed.

Troy Maxson makes his living as a sanitation worker in 1950s Pittsburgh. Maxson once dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player, but was deemed too old when the major leagues began admitting black athletes. Bitter over his missed opportunity, Troy creates further tension in his family when he squashes his son's chance to meet a college football recruiter.

Brooklyn's Dirty Fences third studio album, ''Goodbye Love,'' out via Greenway Records is the follow-up to 2013's ''Too High To Kross'' (Volcom) and 2015's ''Full Tramp'' (Slovenly). It's packed with plenty of meaty riffs and perfectly-executed harmonies and features a guest appearance from Sheer Mag's Christina Halladay. On ''Goodbye Love,'' Dirty Fences give a nod to their influences which include acts like Redd Kross, The MC5, and Johnny Thunders, plus an obsession with early KISS and Motley Crüe through the lens of The Dictators and Ramones but manage to maintain an identity all their own. The lead single ''Teen Angel'' pairs an undeniably catchy melody with driving percussion and wailing guitars, and its accompanying video is heavy on the party vibes.
