When drummers move up to the frontman position, it’s usually the right time to get worried. Just think of Taylor Hawkins’ solo album… yikes!

I was not at all convinced by Throw The Fight’s previous album but they seem to have pulled together nicely on “What Doesn’t Kill Us” and while they were at it, they toned down the screaming… good

Years In The Making is still a couple of years away from living up to their band name seeing as they only started out last year.

What started out as a duo back in 2010 grew into a quartet of New York slackers who have now released a throwback to the lo-fi bands of the nineties. Unfortunately it’s not very good.

Canada’s White Whires are back with an album that’s bigger. They’ve always been good but here things just sparkle and will brighten up your day.

Mean Jeans make things clear from the get-go… they are ready to rip it up !

Wow, where the hell did this one come from all of a sudden? Seems like Dave Smalley got an energy boost from playing shows with DYS and just churned out a new Down By Law album while he was at it.

Summer’s almost over and if these Chicago natives get their way September is going to be a very bleak month.

Certain People I know features certain people I know. Not personally, but Bob Nanna and Damon Atkinson have been in Braid and Hey Mercedes, two bands you should know.

Apparently Blondes and Blond had already been taken, the first being a New York City-based electronic duo and the latter being a Swedish boy band.
