Rock Never Rusts: The Rock Routine Top 15
week of June 21 - 27, 2026
June is bringing the heat, and we’re beating the humidity with the absolute hottest tracks this side of the vinyl frontier. We’ve got all eight arms scraping every corner of the globe to haul in a fresh stash of killer tunes. Consider Rock Never Rusts your ultimate indie muthaship for the best garage, punk, psych, and alternative rock dropping right now.
Huge congrats to The Pretty Graves for locking down their second #1 on the weekly Rock Routine Top 15!
‘Walkin’, is pulled straight from their self-titled debut album via L’Appel Du Vide Des Disques—a record that has already cemented itself as one of the absolute best album offerings of 2026.
This Connecticut based outfit absolutely electrifies the current music landscape and harkens to the raw excitement and sensibility of 90’s indie rock, channeling the gritty guitars, and DIY sensibility while keeping it entirely fresh for today.
Nothing fits better on Rock Never Rusts!
Turn this one up loud.

welcome to a world where ROCK NEVER RUSTS and occupies the zip code of a hi-voltage sanctuary of rock, power pop, punk, psych, surf, garage and a occasional polka thrown in for good luck. Fast or s l o w , young or old, high or low - doesn’t matter.
A great hook or groove is all we need and all we want.
