This Week In New Tunes
In Stores 8/5:
Airborne Toxic Event self-titled
This band hails from L.A.’s Silverlake scene and is poised to make some waves on the radio.
Conor Oberst self-titled
Not sure why this isn’t just another Bright Eyes album, but whatevs.
Darker My Love 2
I’ve been listening to an advance of this and it is really good. I’ll do a review sometime this week.
Faint Fasciination
Can’t wait to hear the new album and to see them on Saturday. Also, you must check out Does It Offend You, Yeah’s remix of “The Geeks”.
Hawthorne Heights Fragile Future
I’m actually surprised that this album isn’t already streaming on their myspace. I loved a couple of their earlier songs ("Ohio is for Lovers”, “Niki FM"), but their current single is meh.
Mandi Perkins Alice In No-Man’s Land
This singer-songwriter has been garnering a bunch of good press and had some good buzz at SXSW this year. Check out some tracks from the album on her myspace.
