Brian Fallon, the frontman of New Jersey rockers the Gaslight Anthem, teamed up with his old friend Ian Perkins to form the Horrible Crowes, a new outlet for the singer's introspective yet bombastic music. "Behold the Hurricane," a track from the band's forthcoming debut Elsie, is a richly arranged rocker that approaches the soaring intensity of Bruce Springsteen and the cinematic flair of Greg Dulli's music with the Afghan Whigs and the Twilight Singers. Elsie won't be in shops until September 16th, but you can stream the song now.

“Jimbrowski”

Jungle Brothers | 1988

Jungle Brothers sampled, among other things, jazz, James Brown and house music. The New York crew's lyrics were equally diverse but never short on clever wordplay or a playful sense of humor, as exemplified by this song from 1988's Straight Out the Jungle. "The idea for that came at the end of a studio session, with Mike, me, Red Alert and a woman Red was dating at the time," says the group’s Afrika Baby Bam. "Red was flirting with her and kept saying 'Jimbrowski' the whole night. Mike and I wrote the rhymes on the way back from the subway."
