Weekly Releases (20.03.26)
New music springing forth
March 20th not only marks the Vernal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, but also another set of new releases in the world of music. This might be a bit quieter week than some, but big names among this set include a new LP from one of the headliners of whatever wave of emo we’re now on Asian Glow, the return of leading modern progsters The Dear Hunter, and the latest from metalcore veterans Poison the Well. Otherwise, there’s plenty of less known releases of interest to dig into. Cheers!

And another week down - thanks for reading!
Killing it as usual! Nubiyan Twist are always a good time and I'll probably hit the new Zorn and Asian Glow, but the question of the week is whether Poison the Well still have enough of the X-factor to survive a Wil Putney production job. Excited to find out!
