The B List: A September to Remember

Traditionally, September has always been a big month for the release of new albums and September 2008 is looking finer than Sarah Palin. For this week’s B List, I’ve put together a list of the nine September releases you’ve gotta hear.


Let’s take a look…

9. Cold War Kids – Loyalty to Loyalty


One of my favorite albums of 2006 was Cowards and Robbers by the unknown at the time Cold War Kids. After seeing them steal the show at MSG last summer, where they opened for Muse, I realized these guys are the real deal: a band that produces amazing albums and bombastic live shows.

The Kids have been touring behind their latest album, Loyalty to Loyalty, and the new songs sound darker and groovier than the previous batch. Loyalty to Loyalty drops on September 23. For a taste of the new album check out the video for Something Is Not Right With Me on the Kids’ homepage.

GUTML and SCC’s Loss Is New Zealand’s Gain

From the day we started this rag back in October 2006, HT Contributor Dr. Neeko has provided us with his wit, wisdom and scorching-hot guitar playing. In a few weeks, Neeko aka Nick will be stepping down from his posts in both Give Us The Money Lebowski and Scarecrow Collection to take a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in New Zealand. If y’all ask nicely, hopefully Nick will continue to contribute around these parts and check in from time to time on life with the Kiwis.


Before Nick takes off he’ll be performing one more time with his two bands. On September 19 you can catch the final Give Us The Money Lebowski show at Daniel Street Club in Milford, CT. Meanwhile, Scarecrow Collection plays their final show with Nick this Saturday night at Mexicali Live in Teaneck, NJ. Be sure to check out these bands while you still can.
