Upcoming Releases

I have to make a confession. That long list you see on the right side bar with all the 2008 release dates; well, I probably only check out about half of those. Partly because I can't afford all of them, partly because I lose interest and decide to check out new bands, or I just hear that they're bad. It's terrible, I know. So I am going to try and make a resolution to check out all of the albums I said I was going to, and maybe post a little something of what I think of them and a rating. I can't write reviews.

Ironically, I also want to tell you about some other albums I'm really looking forward to: Jack's Mannequin's "The Glass Passenger," Underoath's "Lost in the Sound of Separation," This Town Needs Guns' "Animals," Emmy the Great's "First Love" and Valencia's "We All Need a Reason to Believe" (not so much this one though.) I hear the Underoath's is absolutely amazing, Valencia's is pretty good, but no word on the others. To celebrate these upcoming albums and my excitement for them, I will post some songs from them:

Jack's Mannequin - The Resolution

Underoath - Desperate Times, Desperate Measures

This Town Needs Guns - Baboon

Emmy the Great - City Song (Album version, I think)

Valencia - Where Did You Go?

See my album release calendar on the right side bar for further information on these releases. Also, new Shiny Toy Guns material should hopefully be released August 11th! I'm so excited, I could explode. Maybe a post on that too.
