5 Bands who need to put out a new album
Like, now.
1. Brandtson - Supposedly, they were going to release Turn Me On Dead Man in July of last year (I believe). Since then, there has been no activity on the website. This is one of my favorite bands of all time, and I was interested in seeing where they'd go next. Their last album had some great songs on it, but it was such a departure from their previous sound that I was intrigued to see where they'll go next. I'm afraid I'll never find out. I fear the dreaded band breakup.
2. The Wrens - The Meadowlands was a wonderful album. And I've always been enamored with the quirkiness and inventiveness of this band. It's been a few years since their last release. It's time. I'm always wanting more. They are supposedly writing and recording for a new release, but I'm just really impatient. Also, that doesn't always mean there'll be a release. See above.
3. The Sundays - I would love to be able to hear Harriet Wheeler singing something new and delicious. Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic still stands out as one of my essential albums of the 90s. I like to kid myself into believing that they'll soon end their extended hiatus and release something new. After all, there was two years between the first and the second, and five years between the second and third albums. So, keeping that progression in mind, the next one should drop sometime this year or the next...
4. Iron Maiden - They're gods of melodic heavy metal. You can learn more history from a Maiden song than from paying attention in school. Their epics can sustain you for the length of two-and-a-half songs from other bands. It's been a couple years since A Matter of Life and Death was released. I think Iron Maiden needs to stop resting on its laurels while releasing Greatest Hits after Greatest Hits. I know they're getting up there in age, but I'm confident they've got at least three more albums in them, and I'd like to hear one now, please.
5. No Knife - My friend Ed introduced me to this band when I first started working at the porn store back at the end of 1996. He played Drunk on the Moon, and I was hooked. The harmonies, the quirky arrangements, the catchy hooks, and Mitch Wilson's voice just grabbed me right out the gate. And every subsequent release showed growth as a band, and a willingness to experiment. Then they broke up, after releasing four albums. But when I heard they were opening for Jimmy Eat World, I got excited. If they can reunite for a tour, they can certainly get in the studio and release a new album. And I need a new album from these guys.
