Friday New Releases – July 15th

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic10 Comments

I have been waiting for this Friday since I found out Needtobreathe was releasing a new album.  That pretty much means I don’t give a rat’s ass about anything else coming out today.  There are some I will check out after several days of listening to ‘Hard Love’.  Those will be highlighted in Blue.

  • needtobreathe-hard-love  Needtobreathe – Hard Love – (Atlantic):  Nothing else matters.  This is the release to check out.  They have been one of my favorite, if not my favorite, band over the last decade.  “Happiness” is classic Needtobreathe so I have high expectations this release.

The Dirty Clergy – Rattlesnake – Album Spotlight

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic13 Comments

The Dirty Clergy release their new album,’Rattlesnake’, today (July 1st).  They are five guys from Winfield, Alabama who have come together to deliver a solid, straight-up rock album.  ‘Rattlesnake’ is their second album and released on Happy Daze Records.

The production quality of this album is what I would call simple.  There are no extraneous, unnecessary pieces added to the production.  It is raw, gritty and has a live quality to the whole album.  You can hear the drums, the guitars, and the bass equally.  Nothing overpowers the other and makes for a great full sound.

Friday New Releases – July 1st

Published on by 2loud2oldmusicLeave a comment

Not a ton of releases this Friday, but a few that could be promising.  After spending some time at the beach this week with my family, it is nice to be home and enjoy some new music.  The ones I will be checking out are in blue.

  • 51lBop9gJxL._AC_US160_  Blink-182 – California – (Viking Wizard Eyes LLC) – Blink release a new album but without Tom DeLonge, is it really a Blink album?  That is the question I am asking and I will give it a listen to see what they give us.
  • 61wuXdxmLpL._AC_US160_  Through Fire – Breathe – (Sumerian Records) – Justin McCain is back with a new band Through Fire.  Justin was the founding member of the Emphatic, of which I was a huge fan.  Basically, it is the same band with just a name change and a new record label.  High hopes for this one.
  • 61B5on+GiBL._AC_US160_  American Authors – What We Live For – (Island) – Back with their sophomore effort after the huge success of ‘Oh, What a Life’.  Can they continue that success or get sucked down by the sophomore slump?  We will have to listen and find out.
  • 519sZTyRxTL._AC_US160_  The Dirty Clergy – Rattlesnake – (Happy Daze Records) – I screwed up and had them on last week when they were only releasing a new single last week. Now the album comes out.  It has very simple productions, but some great songs on here.  A nice raw quality to the whole thing.
  • 51ZLb9CvR5L._AC_UL115_  Maxwell – black SUMMERS’ night – (Columbia)
  • 61hOvN0ygqL._AC_US160_  Fates Warning – Theories of Flight – (Inside Out Music)
  • 61h-l88ea5L._AC_US160_  Pet Shop Boys – Twenty-Something (EP) – (X2 Records)
  • 51+m1Ev8jEL._AC_US160_  Bat for Lashes – The Bride – (Warner Bros.)
  • 41gaTbLn5GL._AC_US160_  Magic! – Primary Colours – (Sony Music Entertainment)

Thank goodness it is Friday.  What a week.  Work has been crazy so I can’t wait to listen to some new music.  Not much this week I am excited about, but there are a few I want to hear (and they are in blue).

  • 61n0bf2bvYL._AC_US160_  The Avett Brothers – True Sadness – (Republic) – Not familiar with them, but I heard the new song “Ain’t No Man” and thought it was great.  Now I want to listen to the whole thing.
  • 51SwkI3oI5L._AC_US160_  Dorothy – ROCKISDEAD – (Roc Nation) – Another band I am not familiar with but the first single is awesome and peaked my interest.  This might be my drive into work album and I will save the Avett Brothers for the drive home.

Friday New Releases – June 17th

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic12 Comments

It is Friday yet again.  It is funny how this day shows up the same time every week.  It is amazing.  Not as many releases this week as the past two, but still some interesting choices.  The ones in blue are the ones I will be listening to over the next couple of days.

  • 51f0gE6d4nL._AC_US160_  Thousand Foot Krutch – Exhale – (Tfk Music) – I have been a fan of theirs for awhile and pick up anything they put out.  I haven’t been overly impressed with what I have heard so far, I hope listening to the album in full will be better.

Friday New Releases – June 10th

Another great Friday of releases.  The one I am most excited about is Scorpion Child.  I hope there is something that gets your blood pumping.  The ones in blue are the ones I will be listening to over the next couple of days.

  • 81TAzHEbwwL._SX450_  Scorpion Child – Acid Roulette – (Nuclear Blast America) – They are back and I couldn’t be happier.  Their self-titled first album was a masterpiece. They have a classic rock sound with a modern edge.  I can’t get enough of new bands that have that retro sound.  This will be the first album I listen to in the car on the way to work.

Friday New Releases – June 3rd

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic5 Comments

Finally a Friday of new releases to get excited about. The last couple of weeks haven’t given me much that I enjoy.  I hope there is something that excites you.  The ones that I will be listening to first and probably the most are highlighted in blue.

  • 51jx+u86hkL._AC_US160_  Train – Does Led Zepplin II – (Crush Music) – Train is one of my favorite bands and I am anxious to listen to their take on Led Zeppelin II.  The great thing about this album is all proceeds go to charity.  The charity is Family House, which offers temporary lodging for families of ill children being treated at a hospital in San Francisco, the band’s hometown.  If you want to see what else I like by Train check it this post.

It has been an incredibly busy week and I am looking forward to some new music.  Friday’s new releases have some good choices to try.  See if there is anything that excites you.  My top choices are highlighted in Blue.

  • 61E-SCkAK2L._AA160_  Paul Gilbert – I Can Destroy – (Pronghorn) – The former lead guitarist for Racer X and the Mr. Big lead guitarist releases his latest solo album I Can Destroy. The first 2 songs I have heard rock out hard and his guitar work is amazing.

Friday New Releases – May 20th

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic2 Comments

Another week and a ton of new releases.  I will never be able to listen to them all, but there are several I am looking forward to giving a spin.  I will bold in blue the ones I will definitely be listening to over the next week.

  • url  Sick Puppies – Fury – I have been a fan of Sick Puppies since their album Dressed Up As Life.  They have put out some great hard rock albums.  I am not sure what we will get with this album as they have a new lead singer.  That is usually not a good sign and most of the time the magic is gone and the bands can fade away.  I will give it a listen and try to keep an open mind.

Friday New Releases – May 13th

Published on by 2loud2oldmusicLeave a comment

There are a ton of new releases today.  But most of them I am just so, so about.  Hopefully there are some on here you like and maybe some you might try just for fun.

These are the ones I am interested in listening to either because I am a fan or just out of curiosity.  However, since there are so many it could be a long while before I get around to hearing some of these.  I will bold in blue the ones I will definitely be listening to over the next week.

  • Meghan-Trainor-Thank-You-album-cover  Meghan Trainor – Thank You – (Epic) – My kids like listening to her and her first single “No” was actually kind of catchy.  Idoubt there is anythign on here that my kids can’t listen to but I will listen to it anyway just to make sure.
