If your band is releasing an album or EP let us know!

If you plan to buy any of these albums or anything else please consider using one of our “buy here” links. It helps the site keep going because ads suck.

Because there can be hundreds of releases a month Style is noted to help you find something you are interested in. There is also my personal recommendation score ranging between -1 to +3.

-1 - not for me or just bad

+0 - not particularly interesting but not bad

+1 - worth checking out

+2 - interest peaked and may be added to buy list after a listen

+3 going on my buy list
