Mansions - Mr. Boddy EP


So I didn't write anything on this album (it seems to have slipped my mine), so I'll lazily draw upon a moderately favourable review from my favourite watering hole, Punknews.org.  The album was featured in punk news' free album section late last year.

Silence Is Sexy - This Aint Hollywood


The Jamendo descriptions reads "This Ain't Hollywood is an imaginary soundtrack for a movie. The sound is often compared to bands like Coldplay, Editors and Radiohead. Sad songs for optimists."  Sure, that sounds a little overly ambitious and pretentious, but hey, the result ain't half band.  It's a little derivative at times, but the production quality is top notch and the songs are nicely thought out.

The Lives of Famous Men - Sunshine EP

About This Blog (Click)

Another free EP offered exclusively at absolutepunk.net finally surfaces, and this time the band has a sophisticatedly funny name and isn't just another faceless emo group.  Sure, the songs all have a similar acoustic feel, but they're stripped down in such a way that makes them oddly enjoyable.  Don't be discouraged by the squeaky clean album art, with Sunshine, The Lives of Famous Men have a rough and unpolished edge that makes them stand out from the pack.
