New Music Tuesday!

It's been a few weeks since i've anticipated any of the new releases, but today is a day worth getting excited about because it is a BIG day. The Mynabirds, Avi Buffalo, Jesse Malin & St. Mark's Social, and Gogol Bordello. Whew!

We featured both The Mynabirds and Avi Buffalo in our SXSW round-up, and both are definitely worth your time. Jesse Malin is back with a new band, and if you don't know who he is, it's about time you learned. He's completely underrated and amazing. Gogol Bordello's new release is also amazing, but what else would we expect of a live album from one of the most energetic bands on the planet?

Now go, listen. You have no excuse not to indulge in some great new releases.

Free album streams:
The Mynabirds, What We Lose in the Fire, We Gain in the Flood, here.
