I’ve done this for a good many years now, and 2016 will be no exception – a round-up of confirmed and potential releases relevant to amodelofcontrol.com and it’s readers. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and some may not be announced yet. Indeed, some of those announced already may change, or those that are marked as “expected” in 2016 may not happen at all, or get delayed into 2017. Needless to say, I provide this list in good faith – collated from official posts on Social Media, websites, music news releases, or direct contact from bands/labels – and please don’t blame me for any changes.
Please do let me know if you can update, correct, or add to the below.
Since last summer, of course, most countries and most labels have moved to Friday releases – and almost everyone has now fallen into line. A couple still haven’t, though, as you’ll see…
