If you’ve been imitating Sombr and shutting your ears off from new music, today is the perfect day to stop. And not just because we have the debut album from the break-out star you see above. We also have the latest album from two of alternative’s other biggest new stars, Royel Otis. Add to that the rocking comeback of Three Days Grace with their original vocalist, smart songwriting from Kathleen Edwards, danceable retro sounds from Wargirl, righteous slacker rock from Superchunk, throat-scraping pop punk from Hot Mulligan, and bouncy ska from The Planet Smashers, a new EP from pop rock icons Goo Goo Dolls, and the debut EP from rising alt rockers The Bends, and you’ve got a weekend’s worth of great music.
After getting Kings of Leon on his latest track, Zach Bryan is returning the favor and appearing on the rock band’s new banger. Twenty One Pilots are putting on a “Drum Show” for us, while Joyce Manor declare “All My Friends Are So Depressed”. The Cribs have announced their first new album in five years with a new track, while Silverstein recruit Cassadee Pope for a new punk jam. Hello Kitten Surprise sing through “100 Summers”, while Motion City Soundtrack are numbering our days.
Florence + The Machine have come ‘screaming’ back with a new single, while The Lone Bellow are looking to rouse the ‘common folk.’ There’s two new tracks from Atmosphere, and bubbly alt pop from Beach Bunny. We’re also welcoming back Sikarus, Briscoe, Balu Brigada, Wednesday, Wolf Alice, Bruce Springsteen, Broadwing, Home Counties, Public Opinion, Small Shake, SunYears, Claire Morales, Wyldest, Rare Americans, Reddy Hollow, Burnt Tapes, Tebi Rex, Bones Owens, Summerbruise, Anand Wilder, Steve Geraci, Matt Maeson, Sam Varga, Andre Miguel & the Moment, Robert Finley, Katy Guillen & The Drive, The Len Price 3, The Penske File and Wild Wild Wets to the playlist this week.
