THIS IS STILL WORK IN PROGRESS, PLEASE TELL ME IF MORE BANDS ARE HAVING THEIR FULL LENGTHS OR EP'S OUT THIS YEAR

Introduction:
After a relatively slow summer the big labels at the 'scene' are getting into another race, with first 5 albums in the last quarter of the year being released on the 5 different labels, while the 6th is going to be announced on October 9th (GE).
Lets take a quick recap.
Rise Records gets the pole position with The Color Morale and their debut, the notorious RR is known for not really promoting their bands except for the biggest ones, next on the list are Sumerian Records who might be the biggest winners out of the 5 with the English band Asking Alexandria who took over the US by suprise, and it looks like they have one very successful debutant under their wing. Ferret is right there putting out the 3rd album by LoveHateHero, which have turned to pretty much pure rock. 4th and probably the most sucessful is Fearless Records with their big signing blessthefall who came from now dead label Science Records and have putted out a kickass sophmore album which will both keep their original fans and gather them tons of new ones. The 5th on the list are Equal Vision who are releasing another debut LP this time by We Came As Romans, big things are expected from the sextet who have 2 EP's behind them and a considerable fanbase behind them.
