It’s almost seven thirty in the evening and my feet are cold after walking outside without any shoes on. The house is silent and empty, like a pirate ship sitting at the bottom of the ocean. The sun is disappearing and the glow from the television is radiating into the living room. My headphones are placed over my ears and the sudden ensemble of a three-piece band enters my left and right eardrum. I am now descending into a brightly lit cave with a new sensation of musical brilliance sitting in the center, waiting to be discovered.

Here are some albums hitting stores tomorrow.

The Fall Of Troy - Manipulator
Mad Caddies - Keep It Going
The Spill Canvas - Denial Feels So Good
Acute - Arms Around A Stranger
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Baby 81
The Sound of Animals Fighting - We Must Become The Change We… DVD
