Here is the list of releases for a week. And as usual I'm insterested what did you like the most and what were you expecting.
As for me I choose rock band Cuba with their full album Curopa, which I was waiting from the february. Also this week is blessed with Found Tracks vol.21 uniting one one release many artists such as Kingston Rudieska, Hanumpa, Bye Lupita, Demian the Band and others. Of course I cannot not mention Top Band season 1 band Party Maker with their fist full album Get It Down and the contestant of the second season - Cretem. As for the discoveries of the week I definitely choose band CoreMagazine which united guys from A'ccel in a story and Starbow, they have that kind of rock I totally adore, and another new band Speakout with their single Go.
And what is your choice?

If you are a fan of The Koxx as I am, you were probably pretty excited when they announced through Twitter that they were preparing a new album. If not, here’s a few reasons why you should be.

The Koxx define themselves as an “electronic garage rock band” and is composed of guitarist and singer Lee Hyeon-song, synthesizer and keyboardist Shaun, bassist Park Sun-bin, drummer Shin Sa-ron and guitarist Lee Soo-ryun.

The Koxx started as an amateur band when the members were still at university, and later became more serious until they finally released their first EP Enter in June 2010. Their debut single, “Trouble Maker,” offers a perfect presentation of the guys: strong guitar riffs, electronic base and a MV featuring the guys getting drunk. The song is pretty much self-explanatory and a concept manifesto:

Officially, I shout to the lord
We are the trouble makers
When I lose the reason like The Undertaker

Two weeks ago, I had a revelation.

Despite not being in possession of a ticket, I decided to venture out to an outdoor concert being held on the outskirts of a small South Korean city that I’ll be calling “home” for the next three months. The draw of the concert? SNSD‘s TaeTiSeo, natch. ”Twinkle” has managed to climb to #16 on my Top 25 most played songs in just a few short weeks, and sitting outside in the dust for a few hours in hopes of somehow getting let into the concert to see mah homegurl and secret BFF Tiffany seemed a pretty decent way to spend my afternoon off.

Miracle of miracles, I wound up getting into the concert — and while TaeTiSeo was utterly fabulous, I walked away from the show in firm possession not only of a limited-edition “Twinkle” SNSD fan balloon, but also of a fresh appreciation for K-rock. The reason? Maya, who opened the concert with two mind-blowingly awesome numbers that made me wonder why I’d never heard of her before.

Maya debuted in 2003 with the album Born To Do It (Vol. 1), a thirteen-track rockfest that features the song that she is perhaps still best known for, “Azalea.”

Lullaby - Using 'the night' as a symbol for her place in life, Choi Gonne wishes a 'Good Night' with a belief that this night will take her to a better place.
