There are some great new releases for 2nd October – unusually for the first week of the month. Mercury Rev return with a fine new album, and the brilliantly named Eagles of Death Metal – don’t worry, it’s rock not death metal! – have a new one. The hardest-working man in blues, Joe Bonamassa, has…
There’s a huge number of new releases for 25 September – reducing them to 8 was quite some task! To start with, there are massive box sets from David Bowie and Queen. The pre-sales for Queen’s Studio Collection have gone amazingly well so anyone thinking of an Christmas gift (sorry!) should get in early before…
Up for release on 18th September we have a crop including new albums from Keith Richards and Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell, plus a re-release of the legendary live performance by Rory Gallagher’s Taste at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival.

11 September sees some fine efforts with the return of 80s pop gods Duran Duran, brand-new studio albums by The Stereophonics, Ben Folds and Craig Finn, a really fine album by Patty Griffin and the aptly titled Repentless by Slayer. In addition, Bring Me The Horizon’s fifth album heralds a brave new direction for the…
Goodies released on 4 September include a new studio album by the indefatigable Public Image Limited, an incendiary live album by Public Enemy, the sweet jazz/soul of Lizz Wright, and a third studio album – and who, frankly, thought they’d get that far? – by The Libertines. This week’s album of the week was a…

Next week sees some long-awaited and some unexpected releases. Announced just ten days before release, Dr Dre’s new album, Compton, gets a physical CD rush release, with the vinyl to follow later. The Strypes release their second album, which is full of their rollicking version of rock’n’roll, The Fratellis weigh in with sharp, observant song-writing,…
We’ve got a fine selection of releases for you on 14 August. Lovers of a bit of heavy will be delighted with new releases from metallers Soulfly and Bullet For My Valentine.

7 August is a great week for new releases, bringing you albums from Mick Jones, Georgia Barnes, Lindi Ortega, Night Beds and Mac DeMarco.
