Maybe I need to look somewhere else for upcoming releases.
I tend to scan rockreport.be and officialcharts the night before. Then keep an eye
on https://rateyourmusic.com/list/huskerchief21/best-melodic-rock_metal_aor-albums-of-2024/
So looks like I need to listen to Leah this week. Palama Faith I usually like but another not in the HH genre. And the Honeymoon Suite. I'll confess I wasn't a fan of theirs back in the day but they had a catchy tune or two. I'll give it a go.
There's clearly stuff coming up and I always find a gem , or two , I'd never have expected to like. The Gunship album last year blew me away, for example.
I really can't ever remember getting to mid Feb without finding something I spin a lot. Maybe this week I find that gem.
