Progressive art pop/rock band Mew returns after a 6-year hiatus with their most vital record of their career and the greatest leap forward for their already-impressive songwriting skills.

Bosse-de-Nage deliver the record to beat for the year in their particular increasing-singular post-black metal sub-genre with All Fours, their most emotionally satisfying and deftly produced record to date.

Steven Wilson continues his hot streak of lush, catchy, engaging, and modern progressive rock with his fourth album, Hand. Cannot. Erase.

Anyone who knows of Enslaved will have clicked on this already; for the rest of you, imagine if Pink Floyd and 70s Genesis cut a record with Emperor. For those of you who don't know what any of that means, it means it's extremely good.

In music, age is just a number, if you have talent - you have an audience.

Coming in strong with a new release is Plastic Yellow Band, a new classic rock band rising from South Carolina.
