Welcome back to Friday New Releases. 2026 is now upon on us and this is the first post of the new year as January 2nd didn’t have enough to do a post. Now, we don’t have a lot of releases, but at least it is something. I’m interested in the Alter Bridge new self-titled album, but haven’t ordered it yet. Need to hear it first. Already have the Van Halen one as I got the Record Store Day copy (and yes, I knew it was going to get released separately). Other than that, that is it for me. What do you want to hear this week? Let me know what you want or if we missed anything. Thanks for stopping by and I hope 2026 sees a ton of great releases over the year.
