I have also included a list of bands or artists that are honorable mentions or released albums on June 30, 2015. I felt all of these bands have released solid albums. Some just missed the list slightly while others came out on June 30 and since the cutoff was July 1 for me the June 30 albums just didn't sit with me for enough time to factor into the mid-year list. I wanted to at least mention these bands because most of their albums will more than likely be considered for or included in my end of the year best of list.
