New Found Glory, Listen Up! (Pure Noise)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New Found Glory has been MIA as far as new albums are concerned for six years. There\u2019s a good reason for the delay, too. Guitarist Chad Gilbert was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer as the album was being written and recorded. He was found at home, unresponsive in his bed and required emergency surgery. He\u2019s since been undergoing intense chemotherapy. This contributed greatly to the album\u2019s theme of encouraging hope during difficult times.

Peaches, the intense Toronto-born, Europe-based musical provocateur, has returned after 11 years with a pretty filthy collection of songs which is can be viewed as an act of resistance under some circumstances. I think. Whatever the case, keep grandma out of the room when you\u2019re playing this one. I\u2019d better <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3Vzq9Npz_7s\">just link to the single on YouTube<\/a> because my radio masters may not like this posted on a family-friendly site. Imagine this in a dark club, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. U2, Days of Ash (Universal)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>U2 is back in a big way. This six-track EP showed up unexpectedly on Wednesday (February 18) and is positioned as a standalone project ahead of a full album and maybe a tour. The lead single, American Obituary, is a scathing take-down of ICE and some of the other baddies that are ruining America\u2019s reputation in the world. Bono said he started writing the song the day after Renee Good was murdered by ICE agents in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-ad c-ad--bigbox l-article__ad\">\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>5.
