Okay, who else is excited for music in 2017? Just me? Okay.
January 11- "Ambitions" One OK Rock
Although their style has significantly lightened under the Fueled by Ramen label (which has happened to almost every album under that label), the singles being released by the Japanese rock band still promise the punch fans have come to know and love.
January 20- "AFI" AFI
2016 seemed to be the year of the emo band comeback, but it seems like this mentality has trailed into 2017 as well, with AFI making a comeback. With an interesting single in "Aurelia," will see which direction this band is going to head in.
January 20- "okay." AS IT IS
Patty Walter's, or as I like to call him, Youtube's Pop Punk Darling, is coming off a well put together debut album, and hearing some of the songs release, AS IT IS is offering a diverse album with some really well-written lyrics. I highly suggest you listen to the already released title track, either the acoustic version or normal.
February 10- "Dua Lipa" Dua Lipa
I have only recentlyt been turned onto Dua Lipa as an artist, but her fun dance synth pop vibes with very confident lyrics are definitely something to look out for. Consider her 2nd gen Marina and the Diamonds if anything.
February 24- "Sick Scenes" Los Campesinos!
A personal favorite of mine, Welsh indie rockers always provide danceable tunes for anyone willing to give them a listen.
TBA- Gorillaz
Okay, who isn't excited about this comeback? Gorillaz produced some of the greatest hits of the 00s, and everyone loves the innovative performance art that is their band.
Although not many albums have been released for 2017 just yet, I'm praying we'll have a better year in music than 2016 was.
