Felled Trees
About 30 seconds into Felled Trees' album, I thought they sure sounded a lot like Dinosaur Jr. Only to figure out a couple of seconds later that these guys were covering Dinosaur Jr's album "Where You Been" in its entirety.
Bad Sports – Bras
Bad Sports open their new album with the one-two combo that is “Get You” and “Washed Up”, two short slabs of garage-y punk rock.
Black God – Three
Apart from learning kids how to count to three with their EPs (“One”, “Two” and now “Three”), Black God is also really, really good at writing short blasts of hardcore punk.
Into It. Over It – Intersections
Just like Frank Turner and sometimes bandmate Mike Kinsella, Evan Weis (aka Into It. Over It) has adopted a full band for his sophomoric album, “Intersections”.
INVSN – INVSN
After the progressive hardcore of Refused, the old school hardcore punk blast that is AC4, the garage rock of The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Dennis Lyxzén now tries his hand at yet another g
The Flatliners – Dead Language
The Flatliners dropped a bombshell called “Cavalcade” in 2010. Loaded with buzzsaw guitars, big choruses, solid lyrics and catchy hooks, it had everything you could ever want in a punkrock album.
Oblivion
Tron : Legacy may not have been the movie everyone was hoping it would be, but there’s no denying that first-time director Joseph Kosinski made it look good.

But ever since he started cramming his son down our throats in a sad attempt to launch his career, it all went downhill. He probably met director M. Night Shyamalan at a workshop for people whose Hollywood career is on a downward trajectory. Let’s face it… The Happening and The Lady In The Water were terrible and I have yet to encounter the first person who has actually seen The Last Airbender.
Cult Of Luna – Vertikal II
Thoroughly impressed by Cult Of Luna’s show this summer at the Pukkelpop festival, I was stoked going into “Vertikal II”.
65daysofstatic – Wild Light
The ever-progressive band that is known as 65daysofstatic really hits it out the park with “Wild Light”, the band’s fifth full-length!
