The huge amount of albums dropped last week was nearly overwhelming, and May is continuing the great music onslaught.
The new month is starting off with new albums from some of the best indie women in the biz like Blondshell, Lucius and Lael Neale. There’s also some righteous punk from Propagandhi and Pup. Then there’s a new EP from former Bad Ass Break-Outs Velvet Hands. We also have an EP from new group Perfect Buzz for you to check out.
Three old school pop-punk legends have dropped new tracks this week: The Ataris, Green Day and New Found Glory are both back with more music on the way. Silverstein gave the first taste of the second part of their two-album opus, and alt pop group The Beths new singles may not be metal, but it is called “Metal”. There’s new Ruston Kelly music for us fans of sad Americana, and a new single from The Happy Fits for those who like joyous pop rock. Turnstile have dropped two new bangers, and Durry have shared the second bop from their next album.
Dispatch plan to “Whisk” us away with their new single, and Dan Mangan is lamenting “diminishing returns” on his new track. Tash Sultana has recruited City and Colour for her latest single, while McKinley Dixon gets an assist from Teller Bank$. We’ve got another track from Bruce Springsteen‘s vault, and the first taste of Wolfgang Van Halen’s next Mammoth album.
