Congratulate yourself on making it halfway through the month of January and there’s no better way to do it than with New Music Friday.
If there is a theme to this week’s New Music Friday it’s guitarists stepping out on their own with solo albums. Buck Meek from Big Thief is out with “Two Saviors” and Frank Iero from My Chemical Romance has an album with his band “Heaven is a Place, This is a Place.”
In addition, I’m checking out new albums from Chicago, Illinois-based rock band Beach Bunny, British bands Shame, Sleaford Mods and You Me at Six.
As always, the full list of albums released today, Friday, Jan. 15, 2021, are below. If you’re new here, I put my most anticipated albums in bold and don’t forget to tell me what you’re listening to on social media and in the comments below.
