I forgot the "official release" of Aging Frontman is today! Yes, please check out Vinnie's solo record!
City and Colour (I've read good things) and Danny Brown (executive produced by Q-Tip). Also, DaBaby came out last week...
That Cowboys Frinagants album is soo good. "Les maisons toutes pareilles" is one of their best yet :D Other than that Bayside and Menzingers. Pretty disappointed b ythe new Lagwagon, especially after Hang was such a great record.
Angel Olsen Bayside Boris DIIV (so excited for this) Danny Brown Lagwagon Menzingers Summer Walker today is stacked, with all of these and the new season of Peaky Blinders finally hitting Netflix, I don't know how many albums I'll actually get through lol
If anyone's into instrumental jazz, potentially my favorite pianist Hiromi released a pretty splendid new album today titled Spectrum.
Also... out of left field an Audio Karate song was gifted upon us, & it's great. Edit - I guess they're releasing a full length on Oct 18, holy shit!
In the funny/sad category of new releases, Chris Brown dropped an "extended" version of his latest album. Instead of 32 tracks long, now it's 42!!! I don't have words. Numbers, yes, words, no.
No big surprises from me today, although Friday's are a reminder here that I don't dig as deep as I used to for new artists: - Bayside - Menzingers - From Indian Lakes - Bedouin Soundclash (didn't know they had new music coming) - Norma Jean (I think the Safety Last EP only came out today?)
Safety Last is just a new NJ single — the other songs have been periodically released over the last few months and all of the songs will be on the band’s upcoming record Norma Jean - All Hail (October 26, 2019) • forum.chorus.fm
So much great, new music! And none of it has disappointed me! The Menzingers and Lagwagon both delivered great records that were pretty much what I expected (and that's a good thing) and both Bayside and Danny Brown caught me offguard with how much I'm loving those releases. I still need to dig into the new That Dog LP and the Lucero demos... The Interrupters' cover of "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish hit streaming services too. It's super fun. Still need to listen to the new singles from Anti-Flag, Chris Farren, Just Friends, and Audio Karate singles too. But yeah. Great week for music!
Really digging it. I saw them open for someone last year, I forget who and enjoyed their set. This new song is the best I've heard from them.
