Whew, today is a beast of a release day. Hugely excited for Tigers Jaw, and I’m recommending Moodring to anyone who was on board the Footballhead new album train last week. Have a day friends! Tigers Jaw DON BROCO Moodring Just Neighbors Feeble Attempt EP Free Throw Poeta EP Chalk Hands Hikes Known Moons EP Ben Rosett EP Dear Me EP
I highly recommend the Chalk Hands release today. I have no clue how these guys are flying under so many radars.
I won't speak for everyone because I don't really have a problem with Beato myself. I think the idea is that he's somewhat "boomer" adjacent in his music takes. He can give a "new music bad, old music good" vibe at times, but really, that's mostly in the clickbait of his videos. Watching him, I've found he's a bit more open minded than that. I know Gen X people who are very blatantly opposed to the idea of being moved or impacted by new music that has come out since they've left high school or college. When Beato grumbles about music trends, it seems like it's from a place of genuine disappointment. Like he wants to like more than he does.
Happy Friday folks! Plenty of new stuff out today to enjoy. For a more extensive list of new albums and EPs than what's already listed in the main post, you can check out my release schedule spreadsheet which includes stuff released so far in 2026 and currently beyond as far as October 2026. It also includes stuff that's expected and/or speculated for release with a supporting source link where available.
