What's New in Music 2/12/08

Check out more music articles at Listen In.

Another week, another Tuesday, another flurry of new music. As new albums drop, this column will do its best to track the notable releases so you don't have to. Only new material is included in this list; compilations, re-releases, live albums and remixes will generally not be covered.

• Secret and Whisper - Great White Whale

Where pop-punk meets post-hardcore. Fans of Brand New and Fall Out Boy, or anyone who wonders what Paramore would sound like with a male lead singer would do well to click above.

• Simple Plan - Simple Plan

Until I began compiling this article I didn't even know Simple Plan was still around. Ignorance is bliss.

• British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?

The British indie-rock four-piece drops its third studio album. At times filled with ambient constructions, at others catchy as hell. Occasionally both at once.

• Speakeasy - All Your Favorite Songs

Inventive, for Top 40 listeners and MTV viewers. Mildly annoying for everyone else.

In a pretty weak week, British Sea Power easily dominates. If you don't see anything you like this week, keep checking back. You'll never know what might catch you fancy while checking out What's New.
