Nov 21 - 27

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

( I’m no Longer covering anything that doesn’t have a cd release )

Feb 1-7

Releases from smaller bands are sometimes not known as soon. Typically releases will be listed 1 week in advanced. Larger releases or ones provided to us may be listed sooner than others.

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
