Happy Music Friday! This week is a fun one. It’s sweat your rump of season time! 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 week’s contenders were hard to narrow down but a few are:

What album are you most looking forward to? Comment below!

To wrap up this week, we’ve got some much-anticipated arrivals that have us tapping our toes, crossing our arms, and screeching, “Finally!” We’re sure you can see which ones we think you should grab and which ones we think may deserve a pass (cough). Dive in at your own risk, and let’s hear your picks!
