New releases are something that most people still get pretty stoked about. In this time of ‘leaks’ and digital gratification it’s tough. It’s not like ‘back in the day’ when you had to pedal your 10speed to your local shop to get a disc. Just hit ‘purchase now’ and you’re good to go.
What makes this new year event great is that there is some pretty awesome stuff coming out this month. It would be nice if every month had such a plethora of fun but let’s face it that’s not gonna happen. I snagged this over our good friends over at Consequence of Sound. They’re some top notch info providers so I’m much obliged.
Check it out though its hipster heaven, between Death Cab for Cutie and Willy Mason there’s more acoustic guitar than a coffee shop open mic. Ded prez and Bad Religion but some muscle into it and well, Touché Amore kicks ass.
