This week marks the release of Emery‘s new album, I’m Only A Man. I’ve always been a fan of what this band has to offer. Be sure to check out their new album streaming here.
For fans of Anberlin & Mae.

We The Kings new album is also set for release this week. You’ve heard me rant on the band for a while now and its finally your chance to fully check them out. Take a listen to their single here, and pre-order their album on iTunes (Plus DRM Free) for only $5.99.

I would also suggest checking out The Quick And The Dead‘s new album this week. Their upbeat rock is sure to please many ears. Pick up the album for cheap at these places, Indie Vision Music, Smart Punk, InterPunk.
For fans of Spitalfield & The Wedding.

All I can say is… Foo Fighters. Their latest album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace is phenomenal! Also a huge congratulations to the one and only Brett Favre for breaking the record for career touchdown passes!!!

The new album, Direction from The Starting Line is quite solid! Also The Receiving End of Sirens have their upcoming record streaming in its entirety on Myspace.

Sam Anacker
Interpol’s new album Our Love to Admire is another solid album, as is the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s new EP Is Is which features songs written during touring for their first record. As for upcoming releases look forward to Minus the Bear’s Planet of Ice, slated to hit August 21, and the nation-wide tour to follow!
