New Music Releases – May 2013
May 2013 is filled with plenty of new music releases for fans of all genres of music.
If you are an indie rocker at heart, well, there's Deerhunter's garage-y 'Monomania' and Vampire Weekend's 'Modern Vampires of the City' to satisfy your non-mainstream rock jones. The National are also back with 'Trouble Will Find Me,' so indie rock fans should be set for new music releases in May 2013.
If you crush on indie queen Zooey Deschanel, her band She + Him is releasing 'Volume 3.' It's an acquired taste, though. When she sings, she sounds like she talks.
Another hottie, former Disney queen and rehab champ Demi Lovato will drop 'Demi,' another new music release in May 2013. Come on, you know that's a guilty pleasure. The Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines -- yes, she's the one who single-handedly killed the band's career and incited flyover state hate by insulting former president George Bush -- has gone rock, since country didn't want her anymore. Her rock debut 'Mother' is also up for grabs this month.
Yes, there are more new music releases in May 2013. Actor Jared Leto, who had his pretty face smashed and beaten to a pulp in 'Fight Club,' has reinvented himself as a legit rock star with Thirty Seconds to Mars, who will drop 'Love Lust Faith + Dreams.' Classic rocker John Fogerty, once the voice of Creedence Clearwater Revival, has a new solo effort on deck, as well. It features appearance from lots of artists, from Keith Urban to Kid Rock, and includes deep cuts from his canon, his smash hits and new songs.
Here’s a rundown of some of the worthwhile new music releases in May 2013.
