New to the Airwaves (Sept 13)

Happy Music Day! This week is a HUGE one. News of David Grohl’s lovechild, Linkin Park’s lead singer conspiracies and tragedy, as Chester’s son completely hating them replacing his dad – it’s been quite a week for music. We also lost an icon RIP James Earl Jones.

Back to this week in music….all the Bigs are putting out an album in the same week, oh me, oh my! 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 the almost end of a fun, sweaty, exhausting, and amazing CONCERT SEASON. The outdoor shows are dehydrating us, sunburns turn to tan, and we are lost on nights we aren’t in a photopit.

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:

Some on this playlist below:

New albums mean new tours or extended tours *fingers crossed*. Let’s see which band has something new for you this week.

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!
