Code Orange, Forever

The Pittsburgh natives that used to go by the name Code Orange Kids have their new album coming out this Friday. The band, who started in the underground rock scene in 2012, has certainly been working their way through the ranks.

Their newest album, Forever, is supposed to be an amazing return to the rock music of old mixed with their modern flare and should be one of the best albums the band has ever released.

There is no tracklist as of now.

Colony House, Only The Lonely

The alternative rock feel of Colony House’s new single makes me super excited for the album as a whole. With a sound akin to Arctic Monkeys, the band is surely to make waves with this new album. And we can’t wait to see what the rest of the album sounds like! Because if it sounds like “Lonely”, we are sure to love it.

Tracks include:
1. Cannot Do This Alone
2. Colony House
3. Lonely
4. You and I
5. Where Your Father’s Been
6. You Know It

11. Follow Me Down
12. Remembered For
13. This Beautiful Life

Danny Gokey, Rise

Fans of American Idol (if those still exist) might remember Danny Gokey from there. But if you didn’t recognize him from the show, you sure would recognize him from the sound of this album. It just sounds very American Idol. Maybe that’s because it is cheesy and hopeful and if you’re into that sort of thing, you’ll like this.

Tracks include:
1. Stronger Than We Think
2. If You Ain’t In It
3. Rise
4. Masterpiece
5. The Comeback
6. Slow Down
7. Never Be the Same
8. What Love Can Do
9. Chasing (feat. Jordin Sparks)
10. Symptoms
11. Better Than I Found It (feat. Kierra Sheard)
12. Stronger Than We Think

Julie Byrne, Not Even Happiness

Julie Byrne is a New York singer-songwriter whose music truly makes you feel like staring out at a snowing landscape. No really, her music seems to fit into every indie movie scene you’ve ever loved and, if you’re someone like me, that’s what you want your music to sound like.

Tracks include:
1. Follow My Voice
2. Sleepwalker
3. Melting Grid
4. Natural Blue
5. Interlude
6. Morning Dove
7. All The Land Glimmered Beneath
8. Sea As It Glides
9. I Live Now As A Singer

The Band of Heathens, Duende

Tracks include:

1. All I’m Asking
2. Sugar Queen
3. Last Minute Man
4. Deep Is Love
5. Keys To The Kingdom
6. Trouble Came Early
7. Daddylong Legs
8. Cracking The Code
9. Road Dust Wheels
10. Green Grass of California

The Flaming Lips, Oczy Mlody

The Flaming Lips have been around for years. You know that song from 50 First Dates about having the most beautiful face? That would be the Flaming Lips classic “Do You Realize??” that is also featured in about a million other movies.

They are a pretty well known band, and this new song is just as amazing. One of the tracks also includes their double punctuation, so of course it’s going to be good.

2. How??
3. There Should Be Unicorns
4. Sunrise (Eyes of the Young)
5. Nigdy Nie (Never No)

The xx is back and their sound is better than ever. Meaning, they didn’t change anything about themselves and continue to give us The xx we love and know so well. After their recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, everyone has been talking about their music and for good reason. They’re great.

Tracks include:

Dangerous
Say Something Loving
Lips
A Violent Noise
Performance
Replica
