Milk Carton Kids, Ballerini, Pardi release new sounds
Tuesday, May 19, 2015 – The Milk Carton Kids are out with "Monterey," consisting of quiet songs recording in such places as churches. Kenny Pattengale and Joey Ryan have an Everly Brothers vibe, but on the low-key side.

Banditos release their debut, self-titled CD for the Bloodshot label. The group, fronted by lead singer Mary Beth Richardson, is from Alabama, but now lives in Nashville.
