Ben Folds – Way To Normal
Ben Folds has always been painfully honest in his lyrics. Or maybe it’s all just short stories and we don’t have a first clue what he’s really like.
Gym Class Heroes – The Quilt
Gym Class Heroes are back with album number three called “The Quilt” and damn, this stuff is just too catchy!
Solea – Finally We Are Nowhere
When Solea released their self-titled debut, I was hooked! Excellent guitar-driven rock that was poppy, nicely layered yet still had some of that punkrock energy seething inside.
Tom Morello : The Nightwatchman – The Fabled City
Tom Morello is back with his superhero alter ego The Nightwatchman. His debut “One Man Revolution” was barely satisfactory but back then he was armed only with his voice an acoustic guitar.
The Datsuns – Headstunts
The problem with The Datsuns is that they released a near perfect debut album to which all their future releases would be compared.
I Set My Friends On Fire – You can’t Spell Slaughter Without Laughter
Seriously, if this is the best thing your A&R managers can come up with, you’re better of firing the whole lot of ‘em.
The Mongoloids – Time Trials
Never heard of New Jersey’s The Mongoloids before but “Time Trials” could’ve just as well been written by any other NYHC band.
I Am Ghost – Those We Leave Behind
The screamo kiddies from I Am Ghost are back with a new album.
Throw Rag – Tee-Tot
“Tee-Tot” is Throw Rag’s debut full-length and was originally released on Hellnote Records back in 1999. It’s now being re-released thanks to the people over at Acetate with two bonus tracks.
Know The Score – All Guts, Still No Glory
This is the re-release of Florida’s Know The Score out of print debut album. It has all the old-school madness from before plus five extra tracks and it’s all completely remastered.
