New In Stores and on the Radio
In Stores 4/1:
Annuals Wet Zoo (EP)
More details on this in a separate post.
Anti-Flag The Bright Lights Of America
East coast punk rock feeling the same kind of backlash from fans that Against Me! experienced with New Wave. Has Anti-Flag made a record that is more accessible to the masses? Listen to them on myspace.
Black Keys Attack & Release
They are hit or miss with me - I tend to like the singles but have a hard time sitting through a whole album. Maybe I’m just not bluesy enough? I’ll still buy this in any case.
Moby Last Night
All the reviews I have seen are that Moby has gone back to his dancy pants ways on this one.
No Use For A Name The Feel Good Record Of The Year
Hammering out the punk on Fat Wreck since 2001. Listen to the new album on their myspace.
R.E.M. Accelerate
Lots of love for this album in print and on the radio.
Impacting on radio:
Anti-Flag - The Bright Lights Of America
Coming soon to a radio near you.
Article A - What’s The Point
Younger leaning alt rock stations should be all over this. You can check out the single on their myspace.
Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart
Did you ever imagine that DCFC would become such a radio staple?
Disturbed - Inside The Fire
Not on any alt rock station that I like, but the active rock programmers should be loving this. Listen on their myspace.
Gutter Twins - Idle Hands
No brainer for the radio. And I’m still bitter that we don’t have a SD tour date.
Metro Station - Shake It
The kidlets will love shaking it to this. Check them out on myspace.
Tapes N’ Tapes - Hang Them All
I just don’t know if they are a radio band. Great to see live though.
