June and July are going to reinvigorate my love with Vagrant Records. The record label is bombing us with awesome album releases, a few of which are from my favorite bands. Coming out these months are new releases from:

• June 17th – All time favorite band: Reggie And The Full Effect – His first album in since March ‘05. A lot of the songs I’ve heard sound loud and kind of annoying, so let’s hope he can find space for a few gems along the lines of “Congratulations Smack and Katy” or “Get Well Soon” on the new album.

• June 17th – From Autumn to Ashes Live album. Doesn’t look like any new songs, but should be fun.

• June 17th – The Hold Steady releases their new album on iTunes

• June 24th – A band that holds a certain spot in Cheyanne and my heart: The Anniversary.. They broke up in 2002, but are releasing a rarities album that looks like it has a lot of songs that I haven’t found in some way on the internet. REALLY looking forward to that.

• July 1st – Alkaline Trio album.. from what I’ve heard, this sounds like it will be the best of this new bundle of releases.

• July 29th – Get Up Kids frontman Matt Pryor releases an solo album. Hopefully its a little smarter than his “Terrible Twos” project.

Man.. working in front of a computer will be really awesome for these next couple of months.
