Man, August is ending in a BIG way. We’ve got a ton of new albums for you to hear today; the latest from Jared Hart, The Alabama Shakes, Dinosaur Jr., The Linda Lindas, The Jayhawks and Tiny Habits (read our review of it here). A great send-off to summer!
A new supergroup revealed themselves this week; The Power of 3, featuring Michael Jackson & Prince collaborators Orianthi, Cindy Blackman Santana, and Rhonda Smith. Their first two singles are a total blast! Queens of the Stone Age announced their ‘Perfecth’ new album coming October 30th, and dropped the second single from it. U2 have shared their Shane MacGowan cover, and lovelytheband are kissing us goodbye with their new single.
We’ve got a spirited Beatles cover from OK Go, and TALK throwing us a ‘Boomerang.’ Jonah Kagen has announced his brand new album, and shared its first single. Iron & Wine has gone ‘California Sober,’ while Johnny Marr is getting crazy on his latest single. There’s a surprisingly happy new song from Peter Gabriel, and Temper City finally release their second track ever, after the smashing success of “Self Aware.”
