Every time I’ve asked for feedback on ways to make IVM better someone has suggested bringing back the album release database. As much as I’d love to do that it was simply too time consuming for me to keep updated. So in an attempt to bring you the next best thing here is a recap of the albums and EPs released in the first quarter of 2019. Feel free to contribute more in the comments.
