New Music Tuesday: The Offspring, Sister Hazel

by acostill on June 17th, 2008

It’s another Tuesday, which means new music for us to buy and enjoy. Here’s some worth mentioning releases for this week, besides that new Coldplay album, ugh.

The Offspring deliver us their 8th studio album, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace. The 12 track album is getting some decent reviews, even though it was produced by one Bob Rock. Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace is also available in vinyl form, which also comes with access for a free digital download. That is a great idea, wish more bands would do that. Based on their first single, “Hammerhead”, I would say give this album a shot.

Here’s a live performance of a new track, “You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid” from this year’s Download Festival in the UK.

Speaking of The Offspring, the band has also reissued two of their previous albums. 1992’s Ignition and 1994’s Smash. The albums have been remastered from the original master tapes, which means they should sound even better than ever. Want an added bonus for buying, or re buying, Smash? It comes with a new 24 page booklet!

Here’s the video for “Self-Esteem” from Smash.

Sister Hazel returns with a live, acoustic disc entitled Before the Amplifiers - Live Acoustic. The 16 track album was recorded in front of one hundred fans at Atlanta’s Nickel and Dimes Studios in January of 2008. The band delivered hits, like “All For You”, and fan favorites to please the hardcore fans, known as the Hazelnuts. This sounds kind of interesting, it could be worth a listen.

Enjoy the video for “All For You”.
