Well hold on to your hats, there is an abundance of new releases today. Over 27 albums on the list so there has to be something for you. For me, there are at least 10 I want to listen to, but I am sure I won’t make it through all of them. The ones I want are highlighted in Blue. Let me know what you would like to buy or hear.
- Josh Todd & the Conflict – Year of the Tiger – (Century Media): If there isn’t a Buckcherry new album, I will take Josh Todd album and this one has me super excited. This one seems to be a little harder than Buckcherry and I like that. The harder the better baby!!
- Foo Fighters – Concrete and Gold – (Roswell Records): The Foo Fighters bring us another release and although my interest tends to fade over time, I still enjoy them and will give this one a listen. What I have heard so far has been promising so maybe they have put together a decent album…we will wait and see.
- Steelheart – Through the Worlds of Stardust – (Frontiers Records): Out of all the releases this week, this is the one I want to hear the most. We have not had enough Steelheart albums over the years, but I have loved everyone. It has been 9 years since Good2BAlive and that is way too long of a wait. Miljenko Matijevic’s vocals have always been amazing and the song “You Got Me Twisted” sounds awesome.
- David Garrett – Rock Revolution – (Decca Records): Do you like the violin? Do you like Rock? Well then you are in luck. David Garrett turns rock songs into Classical gold. I have always enjoyed his interpretations and this one has some great songs – “Bitter Sweet Symphony”, “In the Air Tonight”, “Purple Rain” and so much more. Check it out.
- Jesse Cook – Beyond Borders – (eOne Music Canada): There is something about the guitar I love and Jesse Cook can play guitar. I also love flamenco music and when you put the two together you get greatness and that is Jesse Cook. Give him a try if you have never heard of him.
- Bob Kulick – Skeletons in the Closet – (Vanity Music Group): I can’t believe Bob Kulick is finally putting out a solo album. Any true Kiss fan knows Bob Kulick as he has played on numerous Kiss songs and his brother Bruce is one of the best guitarist Kiss ever had in their band. Now it is his time to shine. I haven’t heard anything and don’t have a video, but I will give it a listen.
- Gizmodrome – Gizmodrome: Here is an interesting one that I am dying to hear. Gizmodrome is made up of Stewart Copeland, Mark King, Vittorio Cosma and Adrian Belew. The Police, Level 42 and King Crimson all rolled into one…should be something worth hearing.
The next few I hope to get to within the next couple weeks…
- Thousand Foot Krutch – Untraveled Roads (Live) – (TFK / The Fuel Music)
- Kee of Hearts – Kee of Hearts – (Frontiers Records)
- Wayward Sons – Ghosts of Yet To Come – (Frontiers Records)
- Marc Broussard – Easy to Love – (G-Man Touring)
- Ringo Starr – Give More Love – (Universal Music)
- Seth McFarlane – In Full Swing – (Fuzzy Door Productions)
- Nothing More – The Stories We Tell Ourselves – (Better Noise Records)
- Prophets of Rage – Prophets of Rage – (Prophets of Rage/Concord)
- Bruce Cockburn – Bone on Bone – (True North)
- Anastacia – Evolution – (Four Eyez Production)
- Madonna – Rebel Heart Tour (Live) – (Semtex Films)
- Michael McDonald – Wide Open – (BMG Music)
- The Doors – The Singles (2CD/1DVD) – (Elektra Catalog Group)
- Yusef/Cat Stevens – The Laughing Apple – (A Decca Records Release)
- Gary Numan – Savage (Songs From a Broken World) – (BMG)
- Big & Rich – Did It For The Party – (B$R Records)
- Celtic Thunder – Inspirational – (This Compilation)
- Gucci Mane – Mr. Davis – (Atlantic Recording)
- Wyclef Jean – Carnival III: The Fall and Rise of a Refugee – (Heads Music)
- Deer Tick – Deer Tick Vol. 1 – (PTKF)
- Deer Tick – Deer Tick Vol. 2 – (PTKF)
Not too much there tickling the spider senses, but I’m interested in Gary Numan’s latest and will likely check out Prophets of Rage (though my expectations aren’t particularly high).

That Prophet one does not excite me at all for some reason. I definitely have enough to keep me busy for awhile. Not a lot to run out and buy, but definitely stream.

Don’t waste your time with Concrete And Gold, it is honestly quite a crap album from the Foo Fighters. I’ve listened to it twice over and my opinion hasn’t changed. Don’t listen to anyone who’s say it’s a “good album” as they are just lying.

A Seth McFarlane swing album? He’s got a nice voice, I suppose it could be a hit!

John as i was typing this last night it occurred to me that Sykes should scour youtube and pull a Journey and find a singer like Coverdale…bring back Murray/Dunbar and hit the road playing the 87 and call it WhiteSykes or SykesSnake?
Whadda think?
Cov would lose his shit if that actually happened….

He could get Jorn Lande, his vocals are a copy of Coverdale. The only thing is I can’t stand to watch him sing. If you watch his videos, it is awful. He sounds amazing though.

Interesting…I think that Jorn fella sang on Malmsteems Eclipse? My brother had that one…
Anyways I was listening to Eddie Trunk yesterday talk about Sykes and saying thats why Sykes hasn’t done much as he still has his full control over the publishing from the 87 album and will be getting more from you.myself and Ladano…hahaha

If you haven’t found your way to the Downtown Boys, a Latino punk band on Sub Pop, yet and you don’t mind a bit of discordancy I’d really recommend them to you too – this year’s LP is great.
