This guys is a fantastic acoustic song writer. Not punk in any way, but undeniably listenable and easily appreciable. I have a soft spot for this kind of stuff when it's this good.

Patsy Stone - Self Titled EP
About This Blog (Click)
This sounds like it was recorded in the bands' garage but miraculously turned out well. The EP features a short three songs in a really old school sounding melodic skate punk coating. Pretty infectious stuff.

To Write A Riot - The Party Law EP
About This Blog (Click)
Fairly harmless power-pop from a band with goofy smiles. If you like that sort of thing the album is up on PureVolume for the time being.

The Challenged/Nancy - 7 Guys, 1 Cup
About This Blog (Click)
This is a surprisingly solid split offered by a couple of deeply underground pop-punk acts that should be getting at least a little more press. The Challenged have been kicking around for what seems like forever, and Nancy, well, I've never heard of 'em - but based on their contribution to this split, it looks like I'm gonna have to get out and do some research! I highly recommend this awkwardly named split to rough pop-punk enthusiasts.

PJ Bond - You Didn't Know I Was Alphabetical
About This Blog (Click)
PJ Bond is a fantastic slice of country/folk guided by a punk vision. To over simplify things, this guy sound like Frank Turner wannabe, but that would be dismissing Bond's excellent musicianship. it would also be dismissive of the dude's ten year plus musical career. Another knockout Black Numbers Records release that you can pay whatever the hell you want for. This album is so good I feel really bad not having dropped a dime for it.

Arteries - Blood, Sweat, and Beers
About This Blog (Click)
This album came out at the beginning of the year over in Europe and now is finally getting a North American release with Black Numbers Records. This is a fantastic sloppy pop-punk album in the vein of 90's Fat Wreck releases but still manages to sound current and relevant. This is a MUST GET. The label lets you set your price, so pay what you want!

American War - Rhetoric
About This Blog (Click)
The Sidekicks are an awesome rough punk/indie band, so this little side project of Sidekicks member Matt Schuerman is a pleasant little treat. It's reflective sounding with a far more sorrowful feel than what The Sidekicks are typically known for. As with all ifyoumake it releases, if you like it, you can always donate.

Alex Kerns - Demo
About This Blog (Click)
The dude from Lemuria has done a little dabbling in some indie and country stuff, with a fine little result. Donate if you like this solo foray and want to hear more.

Gravedigger Blues - Satan's Rejects
About This Blog (Click)
Dark, rough, and raw, this is an interesting take on the horror genre worth checking out. Fans of Rob Zombie and The Death Riders take note.

Sinkhole - Discography
About This Blog (Click)
Real nice mid-90's pop-punk with teeth. Originally released on Dr. Strange Records back in 1997, Sinkhole's sound doesn't feel dated in the slightest. It's amazing how something just don't get old. All their stuff is up on Jamendo, so here's a breakdown of their discography. Personally I've found the most enjoyment in Core Sample, but that's just me.

I'm Back!
So my practicum is all but over, I'm done the teaching portion, so the late nights of marking and lesson planning have finally come to a close, and this blog can get back to business! I have five posts below that I just posted and highly recommend checking out, they're some of the best I've put up in a while!
Nohand Suicide - Get Over
About This Blog (Click)
I haven't given this much of a listen but it sounds promising. It's fairly low key, but has an aggressive pop-punk edge.
Letmein - The Bag
About This Blog (Click)
Jamendo has been getting some really strong new additions lately. Letmein's latest work is just another finely produced example of fantastically simple punk-rock. This is a must have.

Bellicose Whores - Fight!
About This Blog (Click)
Metal edged punk has been taking off for the past few years. Metal edged punk with hardcore overtones has exploded over the past several years. The Bellicose Whores have all the edge that has made the genre so dominant over the years. Fans of lighter Trustkill Records offering should take note.
Autonomadic - Gift of the Sun
This is a real treat. I love this album. And why wouldn't I? Label quality independent street-punk in the vein of acts like Rancid with a touch of Oi! This is their latest album, and if you enjoy it, the rest of the discography is also available on their website here.

Going Commando - Lonely Avenue
About This Blog (Click)
Good low-key pop-punk, rough around the edges but lots of fun. The band broke up earlier this year, but their first and only album is available for your listening pleasure.
