Smells Like Alt Rock

I'll admit we do a lot music streaming, mostly one song at a time building up our monthly playlists - always on the look out for that new song. That doesn't always lend itself well to listening to full albums. We keep eye out for trends - like we went on a streak of adding Lansdowne each month and it became clear we were gonna need to check out Wish You Well went it was released (and it did not disappoint).  So here's a list of our favorite albums of 2026 so far (with links so you can listen in): Silversun Pickups - Tenterhooks Lansdowne - Wish You Well YONAKA - Until Your Satisfied Tiger's Jaw - Lost on You Collective Soul - Touch and Go The Maine - Joy Next Door Voila - Last Laugh The Format - Boycott Heaven Sly Withers - To Be Honest Sevendust - One Foo Fighters - Your Favorite Toy Metric - Romanticize the Drive And here are some upcoming albums we can't wait to spin: Shinedown - Ei8ht - 5/29 Evanescence - Sanctuary - 6/5 Des Rocs - To Hell and Back - 6/12 Deer...

I know I'm behind again, but I really struggled this week. I listened to my Release Radar on Friday and then started working through the All New Rock list, maybe I was just off this week but I was really not feeling it. (Maybe because I was rocking out with Diamante and Fuel on Friday night in Iowa - just puts a damper on headphone and Spotify, ya know?) So this week's list is a little shorter than some other weeks, but all good additions to the May playlist.   Papa Roach w/ Humankind - See U in Hell The Last Dinner Party - Big Dog Black Veil Brides w/ Lilith Czar - Cut Movements - Dissolve Me Glass Tides - Skin Like Suits As It Is - Do You Remember? Comastatic - Heavy Glow Eleventwelth - Last Here All Alone Act III The Return The Flatliners - And They're Off Black Stone Cherry - Deep Like Roses - Wrist Social Distortion - No Way Out

  The May list is getting ridiculous! We're at 45 songs on the list so far and it's only May 3rd! 2025 is shaping up to be a great year of music - bands we've loved since the 90's are dropping new tunes, bands we are started following over the past couple of years are dropping new tunes, and there's good stuff coming out each week that we've never heard before.  Let's jump into this week's selections: Mayday Parade - Blame It On The Youth Citizen Soldier - Only One Sawyer Hill - Jimmy's Gone Numb Sevendust - Construct Bush - Swallowed 30th Anniversary Version The Beaches - Should've Known Better Bilmuri - Honest L0L0 - whiskey & coke Broadside - What Are You Leaving Behind Teen Jesus and Jean Teasers - Daylight Tigercub - Stuck In The Melancholy Metric, BYNX - Help I'm Alive BYNX Rework Atreyu - Wait My Love, I'll Be Home Soon The Cab - ih8yourgutz Young The Giant - Everygreen Halsey - Carry the Weight Saint Clair - Too Young to Noti...
