We’re barely two weeks into 2013 and things are already starting to get interesting. Boom Boom Satellites has released two new albums (one is a remix album). Dir en Grey is on the cusp of a new album. Matter of fact, most of the bands I dig are gearing up for new releases. We’ll hear some of that new music in this episode.

By the way, if you dig “Spacy Tours” by PE’Z, be sure to download the full free album from the band’s official site.
