There are a few inparticular that I'm excited about and want to recommend to you all. I realize it's just about halfway through the month but I'm going to go ahead and give you some earlier releases that you may have missed anyway. Come next week I'll focus on the upcoming August releases to keep your list fresh.

August 4th:

Anchor and Braille - Felt

     This is an interesting album, and artist for that matter. I had the chance to listen through it a couple times, and I must say I'm impressed. Anchor and Braille is the side project of Aaron Marsh from Copeland and Stephen Christian of Anberlin. Given that Christian does the vocals the album has a very Anberlin tone to it because his voice is so distinct. It really is a pretty unique hybrid of the two bands, slower meodic Copeland instrumentation, with his voice.

Nightmare of You - Infomaniac

     Nightmare of You return with their second full length record entitled Infomaniac. I actually like this album a ton. I am a little dissapointed with production and a few other things, but the songs are simply incredible. It's nice to see a full length from these guys, you can check out a review of the album here .

August 11th:

Caspian - Tertia

     I had been long awaiting this album. Since the first time I saw Caspian I purchased their albums, and have been eagerly waiting a new one. I got this album yesterday and still need to give a few listens, it definitely has a slow start but by the end it seems to be fulfilling my expectations. Caspian have always been on the top of my list for instumental rock bands and my hopes are that this album will keep them there. Check out a review here.
