New to the Airwaves – Albums Out Today (June 4th)

Holy Sh** music is back, in a big way! Tours galore have been (re)announced. Bands are coming out of the woodwork we swore we’d not see in the flesh again. Venues are rethinking their layouts and fans in droves are gearing up for a summer of their life. One music fan close to me said, “I’ll attend ANY show, my genre of music or not!” I think that will be the running theme this summer. We never really took music for granted, but we took live music for granted. I, for one, don’t want to miss a single show again.

OH, HEY, concert season preparation crews, it’s finally happening. Let’s get busy! Tons of bands are in full swing announcing their reclaimed Summer Tours, and we are literally living for it. This seems like the week of summer nostalgia. The talent is endless!.

This week’s arrivals are sure to find homes on many a playlist, especially with Atreyu, Liz Phair, Black Veil Brides, Rise Against, and more, dropping full-lengths.

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 Exodus by DMX cough)… Dive in at your own risk, and let’s hear your picks!

**All dates are for U.S. releases unless otherwise noted. Dates are subject to change.
