Katharine McPhee: Unbroken


The American Idol runner up’s first album didn’t work out so well for her. She focused on some acting roles and reinvented her style a bit. Hopefully this second album will be more successful.

OK Go: Of The Blue Colour of the Sky


The band releases their 3rd album. They’ve maintained pretty much a one hit wonder status while still keeping them on the music radar.









Vampire Weekend: Contra


The band’s second album has been highly anticipated by both fans and critics. They described their album as the perfect song for a trip up the coast.

Cold War Kids: Behave Yourself


The band is only offering a teaser lp with four songs but its worth the time to take a listen.








Motion City Soundtrack: My Dinosaur Life


This latest album from the Milwaukee group marks their debut with a major label, having joined with Colombia Records last year. The album was produced by legendary Blink 182 member, Mark Hoppus. A promising start for the group.

Lady Antebellum: Need You Now


Fresh off their win for Group of the Year at the Country Music Awards (the trio managed to beat Rascal Flatts out of the honor for the first time in years) they release their sophomore album. Lady Antebellum’s debut launched them into the hearts of country music lovers. This album is sure to keep them there.
