Upcoming Releases You Should Probably Buy

October 2nd
-Maritime, “Heresy And The Hotel Chair” Flameshovel (colored vinyl)
-Spill Canvas “No Really, I’m Fine” Sire
-Emery, “I’m Only a Man” Tooth and Nail
-Rollins Band, “Do It” 2.13.61
-Matt Pond PA, “Nature of Maps” Polyvinyl
-Dashboard Confessional, “The Shade of Poison Trees” Vagrant
It’s everybody’s favorite emo icon. We’ve all come to love (or some may hate) Chris Carrabba’s alternative/acoustic songs full of relationships, heartbreak, make-ups and break-ups. Try to make it out to his concert at SCSU’s Halenbeck Hall on Sunday Oct. 28. Augustana and John Ralston will also be playing.

October 16th
-Thrice, “The Alchemy Index: Vol. I & II: Fire & Water (double)” Vagrant
-Jimmy Eat World, “Chase This Light” Interscope
-Dan Wilson “Free Life” American/Reprise
Dan Wilson was the front man of the band worthy-of-having-more-than-one-hit, Semisonic. Wilson has also won a Grammy for co-writing the Dixie Chicks hit song, “Not Ready to Make Nice”. He’s finally coming out with another solo album. From what I’ve heard so far, it sounds like he hasn’t strayed from his very personal lyrics and mellow, peaceful piano parts.

October 23rd
-Coheed and Cambria “No World For Tomorrow” Columbia
-Say Anything “In Defense Of The Genre (double)” J Records

(myspace.com/sayanything)
I've been waiting for a new Say Anything release ever since I heard the re-issue of "...Is a Real Boy" with the new cd "...Was a Real Boy". The title makes me think that they won't be changing their pop-punk-emo style, which is awesome because I was really pleased with their last release. Max Bemis' well known idiosyncratic personality (to put it nicely) has always made for some great lyrics that are still commercially acceptable while still tackling dark subjects. Trust me, it's gonna be worth your money

October 30th
-Taking Back Sunday, “Notes From The Past” Victory
-Saves The Day “Under The Boards” cd/dvd
-Avenged Sevenfold, “Avenged Sevenfold” Hopeless
I’ve always defended my liking of Avenged Sevenfold, and I will continue to do so when I get this album. They might be mainstream sleaze rock or whatever and have alternate rockstar personalities, but these guys also have a lot of talent. Synyster gates is one of the most amazing guitars players I’ve ever seen live and the Rev can create and play beats I can’t even begin to wrap my mind around.
