Every Thursday we feature a handful of pieces from other blogs that keep you updated on what's going on with our kind of music, and why you should care. We finish with a run through some of the forthcoming releases we've added to our calendar. And if we're not careful we just might learn something before it's done.

A Routes & Branches Guide To Feeding Your Monster is our impeccably curated new release calendar, your best way of keeping up with what's new and what's next in our kind of music.
