Autumnal album release schedules are traditionally stacked with highly anticipated music. USA Today music writers Edna Gundersen, Steve Jones, Jerry Shriver, Elysa Gardner and Brian Mansfield recently profiled the 2010 lineup, and the group’s list of promising projects is dominated by BMI singer/songwriters. In fact, all but one of USA Today's Fall Music Preview's "12 platinum possibilities" are courtesy of BMI trendsetters. First on the list:

Flyleaf Ascends
The cover of Flyleaf’s self-titled 2005 debut album features a tousle-haired young man being hoisted aloft by birds. It’s a striking and symbolic image, one that serves as a metaphor for Flyleaf’s confessed Christian beliefs, as well as the band’s heavenly ascent into the hard-rock major leagues. In late 2009, Flyleaf returned with a new CD that ups the musical ante while retaining the band’s trademark hard-rock…

Escape the Fate
Escape the Fate is a Las Vegas-based band that, thanks to the group’s post-hardcore sound, reflects the underside of the city where America goes to party and gamble.

Seether
Releasing a song that was written as a joke could have been a mistake. But for hard-rock outfit Seether, there’s nothing funny about “Fake It,” the infectious first single from the group’s recently released third studio effort, Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces (Wind-up Records).
