New for your ears
In Stores 10/16:
Jimmy Eat World Chase The Light
This is the album I am most excited about this week. I love this band and I can’t wait to see them on Friday.
Kenna Make Sure They See My Face
Kenna’s bio reads like a who’s who in the hip hop world (connections with Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo). But his music can’t be confined to that world - you’ll find his music on an alt rock station as well. Check on the video for the single “Say Goodbye to Love” on youtube.
Thrice The Alchemy Index: Vols. I & II: Fire and Water
I’ve been trying to get into this band forever, because I should like this band. Their flashes of brilliance always get me suckered into listening to their new material. This album is actually two EP’s showcasing the two sides of the band (heavier rock vs. the lighter turn that Dustin Kensrue explored on his solo album). Check them out on myspace and on tour with Brand New.
