By MICHAEL MAROTTA | January 7, 2013

9. Westland ::Intimacy Without Intricacy:: After Wetland's delivery of their ultra-hooky pop-rock to the landlocked masses via the 2011 Vans Warped Tour, standout single "Steady Now" is more than just a new wave of emo — it's got a bit of Killers and Wolf Gang DNA strewn in there for the indie-rock battalion. :: February 7 @ The Middle East :: mideastclub.com

Kingsley Flood

10. Kingsley Flood ::Battles:: Death to Mumford & Sons! Kingsley's eagerly anticipated new record Battles raises the stakes for Americana in Boston and beyond, and first single "Down," with its fuzzy ripcord grooves and street-racing horns, is already in the mix for the best jam of 2013. :: February 9 @ Brighton Music Hall :: brightonmusichall.com

INTERVIEW: BRETT ANDERSON OF SUEDE ON NEW RECORD BLOODSPORTS, THE ART OF THE COMEBACK, AND GETTING HIS DEMON BACK | March 11, 2013
It's virtually impossible not to hold a so-called "comeback record" up against a band's past, and it's useless not to judge Suede's sixth studio effort, Bloodsports , out March 19 on INgrooves / Suede Ltd, against the UK rock band's 1990s history.
