The Ledge #475: New Releases (Pt. 2)

This week's show may be a sequel to last week's new release episode, but there's no letdown in quality. Here are two hours of some of the best new music from all over the world - not only the U.S. but Canada, England, Sweden, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Spain. There's some pure punk, along with power pop, heavy rock, indie rock, and much more. There are longtime veterans with five decades of rocking, along with some brand new bands with their first releases. 

One of the many highlights is the opening set that includes a handful of newly-discovered tracks by an obscure band called The Jacks. Originating in Oklahoma, one member of the band found himself living in Minneapolis. Working in a record store allowed him to befriend members of The Replacements, Husker Du, and The Suicide Commandos. Recordings featuring these amazing musicians have now been released on the album "Make 'Em Cry". 

We also have the premiere of three tracks from Geoff Palmer's upcoming album, "Charts & Graphs". Due out on July 23, this fantastic collection of power poppish punk should be a highlight of the summer. There's also new tunes by Dinosaur Jr., Dropkick Murphys, The Dictators, Juliana Hatfield, and many others!

After listening, please go purchase those tracks you enjoy! These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion! You can find this show at almost any podcast site, including iTunes and Stitcher...or
