Artists to Keep an Eye on This Summer:
Radiohead
With the release of their 9th studio album five years after its predecessor, Radiohead is making a comeback into the music scene full force with "A Moon Shaped Pool". The band began their latest venture with an unorthodox publicity stunt of removing all social media temporarily and then releasing a new single, "Burn the Witch" with a strange child-like animation. The band is touring the world and selling out giant venues such as Madison Square Garden two nights in a row. Radiohead may not be a band you'll get the chance to see unless you already bought your tickets but their new music is worth a listen and I'm sure we will be hearing a lot about this album and tour over the next few months.
Chance the Rapper
With his latest project, Chance is on his way to owning the summer. With "Acid Rap" receiving massive amounts of praise, Chance made a solid name for himself in 2013 and has remained a familiar name among the rap community. While Chance is still a popular new artist he is still one that you can see live (unlike the above) and will be active this summer with personal shows and music festivals.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
A familiar name that has held its relevance since their 1991 release "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" after getting signed to Warner Bros. This album would shoot the band forward into the spotlight after its enormous success which truly was monumental to the evolution of RHCP. Their new album "The Getaway" is scheduled to be released on June 17th and the band is destined to do a worldwide tour in promotion of the new album.
Blink 182
With their much anticipated album "California" being released July 1st, Blink is bound to get the spotlight this summer. The band went on an indefinite hiatus after the guitarist Tom Delounge departed from the group, claiming that the three had grown apart and wished to accomplish different things with their music. The Trio now consisting of bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus, drummer Travis Barker, and guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba. The Band has a busy schedule of shows lined up this summer and I'm sure we all will be hearing from them.
