Oh, hey! Didn’t see you there. I’m still up to my eyeballs in new gear PR and Denny’s receipts after our recent trip to Anaheim to sample the delights of the 2025 NAMM Show (it was one for the ages – just check out our recap of the biggest trends.)
But while we were frantically cranking out the most comprehensive coverage we possibly could, we still had one eye on music releases. And hoo boy, it’s been a busy month. Heck, our playlist was nearing 80 tracks before we whittled it down to a trim-ish 63.
There are plenty of highlights: the king of modern blues getting down and dirty (musically) with a former Van Halen singer. G3 trading solos for 11 minutes over a rock classic. Alex Lifeson flexing his textural guitar chops with Envy of None once more. And there’s a veritable feast of indie and metalcore alike.
So, no write-ups again this month (soz). But we’ll be fighting fit come February, so brace yourself for words. And lots of ’em. See you then!
