Friday New Releases – January 18th

Last week did not have a bunch of releases and this week isn’t that much better, but there are at least more than last week.  And there are a few I am actually interested in giving a spin.  Those will be highlighted in Blue.  There are a lot of Metal releases for those that like it a little bit harder than the rest. Hopefully there is something that will interest everyone.  Let me know what you like or what I might have missed.  Thanks and have a great weekend.

  • 51MBbKnI7-L._SS500  Switchfoot – Native Tongue – (Fantasy Records):  The Christian/Alternative band is back with their 11th Studio album. I came across the band back in 2003 with their 4th album ‘The Beautiful Letdown” and have been a fan since.  They can be pop, rock and sometimes even a beachy California Surf feel, but they are always consistent and the songs have a great message or story. I love Jon Foreman’s voice and I usually find very little wrong with their music.  Give them a try.

  • 91DhO9wlMHL._SX679_  Papa Roach – Who Do You Trust? – (Eleven Seven Records):  After less than 2 years since their last release, ‘Crooked Teeth’, Papa Roach are storming back on the scene.  I like it when bands don’t wait the obligatory 2-3 years for new music.  The last one was great so hoping for more of the same.

  • 51-v9o0n+NL._SS500  Guster – Look Alive – (Ocho Mule Records):  Guster is an alternative band that at times can be quite quirky which is actually what I love about them.  Can you hear one song from a band and immediately become a fan?  Yes, it happened to me with “Do You Love Me?” from a few years back and now they get a listen  with every release in hopes of capturing that magic again.

And there are a couple more I will try and get to when I can…

  • 912dD7CmRZL._SX522_  Joe Jackson – Fool – (EarMusic)
  • 51jeMiGRMmL._SS500  Thunder – Please Remain Seated (Re-recorded) – (BMG Music)

And the rest…

  • 91VnCuW8Y7L._AC_UL115_  John Lennon – Imagine: John Lennon 75th Birthday Concert (Live) -(Blackbird Production)
  • 81WleJJqTrL._SX522_  Dust Bolt – Trapped in Chaos – (Napalm Records)
  • flotsamandjetsam_theendofchaosnews  Flotsam and Jetsam – The End of Chaos – (AFM Records)
  • 61o2rNgFsJL._SS500  Arch Enemy – Covered in Blood – (Savage Messiah Music/Century Media Recordings)
  • 919cQIzJxRL._SX522_  Deerhunter – Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared? – (4AD)
  • 91efm5levtl._sx522_  James Blake – Assume Form – (Polydor Records)
  • 81yjmtnbh6l._sx522_  Future – Future Hndrxx Presents: The Wizrd – (Epic Records)

      1. You might be familiar with David Bazan. It’s essentially David Bazan & company. More of a collaborative project, but he’s the only consistent part of it. It’s the first time he’s released anything under the name Pedro the Lion in 15 years.
