May 9-15

If your band is releasing an album let us know!

(As of March 27, I am no longer covering all Ep’s)
(As of April 20, I am no longer covering digital only releases. Cassettes don’t count; This isn’t 1984)

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 or not that good

+1 - worth checking out if you like the style

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

+3 going on my buy list

+4 already bought or pre-ordered
