It's crazy, a few short months ago I was trying to put together a list of my top 10 albums for the year (it's a thing I do for a friend who runs an online music magazine AltMusicHub as well as doing gig and album reviews and the like).
Anyway I was having an absolute nightmare of a time, I couldn't refine my list to any more than about 16-18 albums, I ended up needing to pull bloody names out of a hat! And I thought at the time that it'd probably mean a quiet patch and a significant drop off in quality new albums this year given how many bands dropped albums, especially between July-December.
Well. That was wrong.
Already this year there's been simply amazing new albums from Bad Religion, Wednesday 13, Funeral For A Friend, Bullet For My Valentine, Hatebreed, Coheed & Cambria, The Bronx and now Bring Me The Horizon too.
And it's still not even April!
I don't understand how anyone can NOT love music to some sort obsessive excess.
In upcoming gig news, in the next month I'm going to see Pennywise supported by Face To Face (whose new album released next week is also going to be amazing if the couple of songs already released are any indicator), Coheed supported by Circa Survive, The Bronx and Funeral For A Friend.
