It’s been an excellent week for new music. The Virginmarys released another banger compete with a hard hitting music video, LA rock bands Irontom and Beauty School Dropout both have new albums, and Tom A. Smith put out a new single “Fading Away”, a song I’ve been wanting to get my ears back into since seeing it live over the summer.
There’s a lot to dig into, but if you like to be introduced to new music live (as I do), join me in celebrating the Irontom album at their record release show Thursday at the Moroccan Lounge. And here’s what else we have in store:
