Do we have some stellar stuff for you this week…Well…I hope we do. There are a couple I am super excited about with the new Will Hoge and the new Jeff Scott Soto release, Ellefson Soto, that has him and David Ellefson together again for their 2nd album. Both on pre-order. There is a new Chevelle album, new Maroon 5 and even the new Deluxe Edition for Van Halen’s Balance…yeah, I have that on pre-order too. Let meknow what you want to hear this week. I know I’ll be busy. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Ellefson Soto – Unbreakable – (Rat Pak Records)
Chevelle – Bright As Blasphemy – (Alchemy Recordings / BMG)

Def Leppard – Diamond Star Halos – (Bludgeon Riffola Limited / Mercury Records): There have been no new Def Leppard studio albums since I started this blog which is way way too long. I am excited about this one, but truly aren’t expecting a lot if I’m being honest. That didn’t stop me from ordering it…on vinyl exclusive from Target…on cassette and two different Japanese Edition CDs. I think that is every format. Yes, I have a problem…deal with it!!
Mark Tremonti – Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra – (JMM / Slow Down Sounds): The guitarist of Creed, Alter Bridge and lead singer of Tremonti goes soft with Frank Sinatra…or does he? I don’t know as I haven’t heard it yet as I want to take it all in at once. Here’s to hoping it is something cool.
