The FRESH WAX RECAP is here with new music from Sports Team, S.G. Goodman, Spin Doctors, and more! The latest and greatest in new releases is here – presenting the FRESH WAX RECAP.

 

SPIN DOCTORS – FACE FULL OF CAKE

 

 

 

 

The band’s first full length album release in years, the long-awaited Face Full of Cake brings the Spin Doctors’ legacy full circle with a sound that is equal parts modern and nostalgic. Lead-up singles such as “Still a Gorilla” and “Rock n’ Roll Heaven” came as the first indicators of what the 90s legends would bring to the table in the musical landscape of 2025.

 

With the classic Spin Doctors bite and inventive rhythmic sensibility, Face Full of Cake is sure to come as a particularly sweet addition to the collection of any longtime fan.

 

 

MAX MCNOWN – “ST. HELENS ALPENGLOW”

 

 

Straight out of the Nashville scene, singer-songwriter Max McNown is making waves with his latest single, “St. Helens Alpenglow.” The guitar and banjo laced tune touches on lost love and the inherent value in the connections we build with others, even when those relationships don’t necessarily end the way we had initially expected or hope for them to.

“St. Helens Alpenglow follows the release of last month’s “Call Me if You Miss Me,” expanding upon the sound informing McNown’s sophomore effort, Night Driving which was released in January via Fugitive Records.

 

 

 

 

 

JON CLEARY & THE ABSOLUTE MONSTER GENTLEMEN – “UPTOWN DOWNTOWN”

 

 

 

New Orleans music legend Jon Cleary recently released “Uptown Downtown,” the latest single from The Bywater Sessions. The track and its parent album each find Cleary working collaboratively with his ensemble of New Orleans all-star musicians dubbed the Absolute Monster Gentlemen. Together, the band have worked diligently to continue and build upon the rich musical heritage of New Orleans.

 

 

 

S.G. GOODMAN – “FIRE SIGN”

 

 

 

Singer-songwriter S.G. Goodman has returned with a brand new single “Fire Sign” ahead of a recently announced full-length album, Planting By the Signs. The album is set for release on June 20, 2025, through Slough Water Records/Thirty Tigers.

 

 

 

 

THE FREEDOM AFFAIR – “DON’T YOU WANNA LOVE ME”

 

 

 

 

The Freedom Affair have released a new single “Don’t You Wanna Love Me,” delivering the soul and funk in equal measure. With hard-hitting vocals and funk-fueled rhythms, the single effectively primes listeners for The Freedom Affair’s upcoming self-titled sophomore effort.

 

 

 

SPORTS TEAM – “SENSIBLE”

 

 

 

The latest single release from Sports Team’s forthcoming Boys These Days album, “Sensible” brings the band’s trademark Brit-pop and Indie sensibilities. The group’s upcoming album is due out in May through Distiller Records/Bright Antenna.
