Abandon Kansas - Ad Astra Per AsperaThe latest release from Abandon Kansas comes off as more mature, a bit darker and yet danceable. |

Playdough - HotdogginThis Dallas, TX MC created a great hip-hop album. Some of the material is a bit edgy but no one can say it isn’t street. “Cadillac” is a fantastic track. Beep Beep. |

Blindside – With Shivering Hearts We WaitAfter a much too long hiatus the Swedish boys return with an album that stretches the bounds of anything they have done before. “Our Love Saves” us proved to be a anthem for 2011 and a song I couldn’t get out of my head if I wanted to. |

Icon For Hire – ScriptedI didn’t know what to expect after the first single from this album but this debut has some unbeatable chops. One of those few albums where I love every song and their live set is rockin’ as well. |

Braille – Native LungsI love this guy. He creates hip hop in a way that is truly out of the box every time. Check it.

Switchfoot – Vice VersesWhile this album isn’t as aggressive as I might like, there is no doubting that this is one of their best. From their huge hit “Dark Horses” to stripped down title track it is a masterpiece. |

Peter Furler – On FireIt’s good to hear the voice that made the Newsboys huge. With the the return of writing partner Steve Taylor as well as Taylor’s guest vocal on “Closer” this album brings all the tried and true pop rock goodness. |

Family Force 5 – IIIThis is not the album that most fans expected, but after a few spins these songs are really infectious. They also translate really well live. |

The Violet Burning – The Story Of Our LivesEasily the biggest feat of 2011 and a huge triumph for Michael Pritzel & company. A 3 album concept record with limited edition packaging. Fantastic goth/gunge/rock/experimental awesomeness. Huge success in my book. |

I Am Empire – KingsThis is a great album, heavy alternative rock to metal this album delivers. “Brain Damage,” “The Elevator,” “Saints And Sinners” all awesome. |
