My personal calendar is a conglomerate of nearly every genre of music, festival, and comedy special that a decade ago I would have dreamed would be my life. Welcome to another start of a fun, sweaty, exhausting, and amazing CONCERT SEASON. The outdoor shows are back in full force and with that so are tours. Tours many times mean new albums to promote. Let’s see which band has something new for you this week. 

In these tiny moments I get to hear new music that gets my heart revving, this weeks contenders were hard to narrow down but a few are:
