March is ending, but don’t stomp and holler over it – there’s still plenty of good new music left to hear.
After a seven year hiatus, Mumford & Sons make a triumphant return this week. The Agora family will be pleased. British rockers The Darkness have their latest collection of cheeky rock n’ roll out for everyone, and indie songwriter Lucy Dacus is dropping her first solo work since boygenius shot her into the limelight. Michael Franti and Spearhead‘s latest album has arrived, and we also have the new EP from amazing songsmith Maddie Zahm.
Linkin Park have wasted no time in writing more music, sharing a new single this week when they dropped an album less than a year ago. MF Tomlinson is back with a nine-minute opus, and Fitz and the Tantrums are back with more pop rock sweetness. Born Ruffians have dropped the second track from their next album, while hard rockers Evanescence and Hinder continue their steady comebacks with a new song.
Folk rockers Wax Owls (who released our Top EP of 2024) are back with new music, and Pup have enlisted Jeff Rosenstock to boost their third single from their next LP. Superchunk have dropped a super new jam, while The Wonder Years have teamed up with Origami Angel on their latest single. There’s even a new track from the legendary Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
