Crucial Releases: March 20

The word...

I’ve got two superb albums for you this week, in addition to 8 honorable mentions. A jam packed week that leads into another jam packed week: the March 27th release day is STACKED, so stay tuned for that… it might take me awhile, though.

But first, the featured albums: No Need to Be Lonely by Gladie and An Undying Love for a Burning World by Neurosis are both very much worth your time. Gladie if you are into pop punk influenced indie rock with earnest, personal lyrics… and Neurosis, if you are a metal or heavy music fan, though you most likely already know the name Neurosis if you are… you may be as surprised by the album release as I was, however! I had no idea they were still around, much less on the verge of releasing new music.

There is good (genre) variety in the Honorable Mention section too, so get to work!
