As we dive into a holiday week, we look towards a somewhat slower season for shows. While there will certainly be no shortage of quality music throughout the remains of November and into December, the marathon pace at which we’ve been previewing, reviewing, and running giveaways will ease up a bit, until we kick off the new year. You wouldn’t know it judging by last week, however. It was another busy one, and, in case you missed out on any of our exciting announcements or coverage, we’ve recapped it all for you below:
