What better way to celebrate the beginning of Spring than to share some new indie music releases, something I plan to do on a regular basis. I have complete confidence that this list is not complete, and I apologize in advance to anyone I missed. As a result, expect a part two to this list in the coming days. If you are a musician that would like to have their releases included in future lists, you can email the details to cozmic.debris@comcast.net.
