Hopes & Fears Keane Hopes & Fears is the debut album from british pop rock band Keane. It was released in May 2004 after several years of playing cover songs and original material live.

Album of the Week - Boston

Album of the Week - A New Dream

I’m starting a new weekly segment on the site which, as the title of this post suggests, is the album of the week. This wont necessarily be new release albums but albums which I enjoy listening to. This means that most of them will probably be from the 80’s. So anyway, here we go for the first album of the week. Black Clouds & Silver Linings Dream Theater Sure its not exactly a new release but it hasn’t been out for long. Its also the latest CD I bought which makes it a new release for (...)
