Highlighting

    For our 12th annual Highlighting feature, we split the year into TWO pieces -- January to June and July to December. Each list contains 10 artists/releases for a total of 20 in total for 2018. So, without further ado, to complete our list of 20, we give you Highlighting Second-Half 2018! (Click here for Part 1)

Album Cover
#4. Matthew Thiessen And The Earthquakes
Wind Up Bird

Release Date: August 31, 2018
In the last year and a half or so, I’ve rediscovered a taste for Relient K. Along with this, I’ve developed an anticipation for Mr. Thiessen’s extremely long-awaited side project. Here’s hoping it at least lives up to the hype.
        - Scott Fryberger

Ever since hearing Matt’s side project song, “Poison Ivy,” years ago, I’ve highly anticipated additional songs in the same style. Well, he’s taken his dear sweet time, but I have a hunch that it will be worth the wait. After hearing the songs, I hope that I am able to include them in my end of the year favorites list.
        - Josh Balogh

As maybe the only person in the world not in love with Air For Free, I'm excited to be excited for another Matt Thiessen album.
        - Mark Rice

Air For Free was a great return to form for Thiessen and Relient K, and it’s piqued my interest for what’s next. The musical pallet has always been broader than just pop-punk, and I’m hoping for an all-out rock opera this time around. Come on Matt, I know you have it in you.
        - Alex Caldwell
2018 Countdown: July to December
