Hey, kids! You may have noticed that I took a bit of a vacation from reporting on local album releases after the new year. However, that doesn't mean I wasn't keeping track. Below you can find a complete list of all the releases I know of that were released during January (and some of February) 2016. I highly recommend you check out each one, and discover some of the awesome local music that isliterally at your fingertips for listening and purchase if you so choose. Click the band name to go to their Bandcamp or website for more information. Once you're done browsing that list, join me near the bottom for info on release shows in February.

On to the release shows. We only have one tonight: at Kilby Court, the release show for Doris Day. This is a five-piece indie punk band out of SLC; you might recognize some of the members from the band DateNight. They released their EP No Complaints earlier this week on Bandcamp, but this is the official physical release for the band. You can pick up a copy at the show as they play with Uncle Dirt, Wicked Bears, Redsleeves and Pop Warner. Tickets are just $6 and the music kicks off at 7 p.m.


Love music, head out, buy local.
