Records To Be On The Lookout For

Here are some records that you should be on the lookout for when they hit stores. Look for reviews of these records to come soon, but consider this our staff recommendations of new and future releases.  This something we are going to try and do at least once a month.  If you are looking for records to pre-order because of all the goodies that you get with them, consider this our list of MUST HAVES for March and April!

Amber Pacific-Virtues (4/13)
These Seattle boys are back and in a big way. With a new singer and a few years since their last release, they have crafted the perfect summer soundtrack. Big choruses, catchy lyrics and a feel good sound Victory Records has done it again with this band.

Secret And Whisper-Teenage Fantasy (4/6)

12 perfectly crafted songs seemingly blend together into one steady flowing masterpiece.  If you are a Circa Survive fan there is no doubt you will Teenage Fantasy, hands down the bands best release.

We Are The Union- (3/30)

Finally a ska release to be excited about. This will be the bands breakout record, as they remind us that ska is not dead. The galore of horn sections will surely put a smile on the face of any fan of the genre.

Sleeping With Sirens-With Ears To Hear and Eyes To See (3/23)

With Ears To Hear and Eyes To See is probably one of the strongest releases of 2010 thus far. It encompasses everything a hardcore band strives for, its catchy, melodic, brutal and won’t let you press eject. Plus, any hardcore band that can get Aaron Marsh to appear on their record is doing something right.

The Classic Crime-Vagabonds (4/6)

Did this band create the perfect radio rock album?  The answer is yes.  Every song on this record could be a radio single, and each one hits the heart strings just as hard as the notes hit the speakers.  With the fact that all pre-order proceeds are going towards Haiti earthquake relief funds as well, there is not one damn thing wrong with Vagabonds.
