\nWhat is out on this #NewMusicFriday?<\/a>
\nTake me to the Playlist<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There was a smattering of releases, including ‘The wilted EP’<\/a><\/em> by\u00a0Paleface Swiss<\/strong>, during the festive break. However, today is the first\u00a0proper<\/em>\u00a0#NewMusicFriday<\/strong> of the year. However, it is quite a subdued one with Alter Bridge<\/strong> being the clear frontrunner.\u00a0The arena rockers are starting the year with the release of their self-titled album.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, there are new albums from\u00a0The Cribs\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Lionheart<\/strong>. Italian genre-expansive experimentalists Zu<\/strong> deliver a double album in the form of ‘Ferrum Sidereum’<\/em>. Devon-based post-punk outfit\u00a0Big Shipping<\/strong> shares their debut album.\u00a0 ‘Nobody Asked For This’<\/em> contains plenty of big, off-kilter post-hardcore riffs, with lyrical desperation. Meanwhile, Canadian punks, Calling All Captains\u00a0<\/strong>serve up some of their rawest material to date with their new EP, ‘The Things That I’ve Lost’.<\/em><\/p>\n
