I’m super excited for the new list this week because it’s such a great mix of material from newbies and Hit List veterans, underscoring just how massive the growing independent world is. I actually had a chance to go see 3 of these bands play on the same bill two nights ago (check my Twitter feed to see which ones!), and they just killed it on stage. It’s so easy to get sucked into the music that these artists create that sometimes it’s easy to forget just how much stage presence and presentation really add to the overall effect of an artist’s brand. It’s a wide, wide world of expansive music and showmanship, and the artists on this week’s like really highlight that fact! As always, albums are in no particular order, so have a sick Monday trying them all out. ;D It’s gonna be a good week!
