Stream: Morgan Doctor – “West Coast”

Morgan Doctor Press

Drummer and multi-instrumentalist, Morgan Doctor released her third studio album titled Minor Over Major earlier this year. The release is her first full instrumental album and despite the absence of lyrics, it is her most revealing.

In her own words about the album, “This album is definitely my most personal album to date. During the creation of it, I spent so much time alone, more than I ever had before in my life.  When I work with vocalists I tend to let them write the lyrics, I wanted this record to be an album between the music and me. The music really reflected that time of me being solo.”

You can stream West Coast, a track off of her new album below and check out her Bandcamp page to listen or purchase her discography. Be sure to follow her on Facebook and visit her website too!

Stream: Rise Against – “Long Forgotten Songs: B-Sides and Covers”

Rise Against Album Cover
Veteran band Rise Against have recently released a stream of their upcoming Long Forgotten Songs: B-Sides and Covers, which is slated for purchase starting September 10th. The album is exactly what the name suggests: songs from their myriad albums that were classified as secondary in favor of other more popular songs. These under-appreciated tunes, including covers of Bruce Springsteen, Journey, and Nirvana, reflect the aggressive and energetic sound of the Chicago punk rock outfit and are definitely worth a listen for both fan and newcomer alike. You can stream the 26-song album here via Radio.com, and you can purchase a pre-order of the album here.

Stream: Mayday Parade – “Ghosts”

Mayday Parade Press

Mayday Parade have recently released the first single, entitled Ghosts, off of their upcoming full-length album Monsters in the Closet, which debuts October 8th via Fearless Records.

Regarding the fresh song, bassist Jeremy Lenzo said: “We are so excited to release our first song ‘Ghosts’ off our newest album Monsters In The Closet. This song has to do with your inner demons, and it portrays that in a literal sense by referring to them as ghosts and how they are always with you. We can’t wait for everyone to hear all the songs on Monsters In The Closet. I think this album has a little bit of everything, and we hope everyone enjoys this album as much as we loved creating it.”

Mayday Parade is set to headline the Glamour Kills Tour in October/November. Pre-orders for the new album are now available at the Fearless Records online store, where one can select between twelve cool bundles or join the weekly raffle.
