9/28 - OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark) - History Of Modern (Bright Antenna)
That's right, the kings of new wave are back and better than ever with their first new album in 14 years.

9/28 - The Dance Party - Touch (Hell Ya!)
Debut album from LA by way of DC rockers. Think Jet, Neon Trees.

10/5 - The Gay Blades - Savages (Triple Crown)
Sophomore album from NYC guitar rockers. Love that new Black Keys record? Yeah me too. You'll love this record as well.

10/5 - Fran Healy Wreckorder (Ryko)
Debut solo album from Travis' lead singer, currently on the road with Keane.

10/5 - Donavon Frankenreiter - Glow (Liquid Tambourine Records)
Pro Surfer/Musician's first release through his own label. Dude has a killer mustache.

10/5 - Middle Class Rut - No Name No Color (Bright Antenna) “…sound like Jane’s Addiction having a panic attack.” - NME. MCR's music artfully blurs the line between heavy and melodic, showcasing the band’s skill for raw, energized rock and roll that is equally complex and immediate.
