New and Upcoming Releases?
Sunday, November 2, 2014 at 12:01AM I can't believe it's already November. The year will be over before we know it. In America, we celebrate Thanksgiving in November... and the day after is known as Black Friday, a huge day for sales. I usually grab a few albums during the sales - Best Buy and Amazon typically has good deals on music. So, help me build my shopping list.
What albums should I be buying this month? Suggestions don't have to be just Glam or metal, either. I'm not a country fan really, but beyond that I'll usually give most music a fair shot. It's been awhile since I've been turned on to something completely new -- so I'm due for that I guess. I look forward to your suggestions.

If you're up for a bit of americana, the duo Shovels & Rope put out a great album a couple of months ago called "Swimmin' Time".
To get the blood pumping you could check out NYHC legends Sick of It All. They race through 14 tracks in 31 minutes on their new disc "Last Act of Defiance".
Based on last night's "Saturday Night Live" performance, I will be picking up the new PRINCE. What a jaw-dropping and stunning performance.
Here's the clip... (Spoiler Alert: Make sure you stick with the ENTIRE performance. Prince just scorches with his guitar!)

Whatever smirking that went on in the audience when he first starts to play quickly gets wiped away from his guitar pyrotechnics as well as his accompanying guitarist, about a third of the way into the performance.
I'm also ready for the new Hardcore Superstar. Thanks to Al's recent post of their new song, I'm gonna predict right now, that will be the Album of The Year.
I'm sure there are others, so will continue to investigate but also look for more suggestions here.
p.s. Thanks for all the recommendations, everybody! I will check out the new Electric Boys, Snoot. Wish I could see 'em at some point. Get their 1994 masterpiece, "Freewheelin'", when they finally toned down the whole "Funk Metal" thing and finally rock out with REAL Rock'n'Roll tunes, including the bonus track, a killer heavied up cover of RAM JAM's "Black Betty"! But make sure you get the right press as most versions don't contain the song. Rita... I picked up the new Priest, plus I saw 'em point blank, VIP, last Wednesday night at Hard Rock in Orlando. 3 encores, mind-blowing performance. Legend, I will also get the new Billy Idol on your recommendation, and probably go see him when he comes to town and a big reason will be to see Steve Stevens again... Such a killer guitarist! DJ! "Black Out In A Red Room" is in my "Top 25 Greatest 80's Metal Songs". The whole album is killer and I'm so glad I finally got to see Love/Hate live, point blank, natch, at M3 a couple years back.
