EPs Released From January to March 2025
As stated in the Albums Released From January to March 2025 post, I am handling the announcement of album and EP releases differently this year. I will be sharing a list every 3 months rather than every 6.
Please note that whenever possible, I have linked the artist’s Apple Music profile. I still use Spotify because of its convenience, but I respect that many are struggling with monetary decisions made by the streaming service and will send traffic to your other platforms if I can. (Release dates may vary depending on when the EP was uploaded to Apple.)

Albums Released From January to March 2025
Last year, I attempted to post a list of all the albums and EPs I heard about. I split this compilation into two parts, posting the first at 6 months and the second at the end of December. I didn’t really like the way it worked out, so I’m trying something different for 2025 and sharing new releases quarterly. I am dividing albums and EPs into separate posts, though. That much is staying the same.
Also, in as many cases as possible, I am linking Apple Music profiles. While I continue to use Spotify when building my playlists, I do understand that many artists have conflicting emotions in regard to that particular streaming service. Therefore, I will attempt to send traffic to your alternative platforms. (Release dates may differ, depending on when the album hit Apple. I have used the dates posted by the bands/artists.)
