CDS

Turbonegro, "Retox" (Cooking Vinyl): They’re the greatest rock band that too much of America has never heard of: Norway’s Turbonegro is equally funny and fierce, lampooning macho rock dude stereotypes while blasting out the jams with chest hair thicker than a buffalo pelt.

The band’s latest disc, "Retox" is a suitably tongue-in-cheek onslaught of fist-in-the-air rockers about chubby guys and male pattern baldness.

Check this one out, or, in the band’s words, you will have "Hell Toupée."

Also in stores: Blaqk Audio, "Cexcells"; Luke Bryan, "I’ll Stay Me"; Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, "Live at Radio City"; Lori McKenna, "Unglamorous"; Nikki McKibbin, "Unleashed"; Linda Thompson, "Versatile Heart"; and Various, "High School Musical 2."
