The Night Marchers – See You In Magic
John Reis is a friggin’ genius… the guy already proved it a bunch of times with Drive Like Jehu, Rocket From The Crypt and The Hot Snakes.
Death Cab For Cutie – Narrow Stairs
“Narrow Stairs” is album number seven for the Death Cabbers and nothing much has changed since “Plans”… but is that really necessary?
Austrian Death Machine – Total Brutal
Austrian Death Machine is the side-project of As I Lay Dying’s Tim Lambesis where he pays tribute to the world’s greatest action hero turned politician.
Weezer – The Red Album
have to say that I lost touch with Weezer after their debut charmed the hell out of me. Geekrock… I loved it for a while!
Thrice – The Alchemy Index vol. III & IV : Air & Earth
When I first listened to vol. I & II of “The Alchemy Index” I wasn’t all that impressed. Not that I didn’t like it, it just wasn’t what I was expecting to hear from Thrice.
Statues – Terminal Bedroom
Statues is a Canadian band that combines the best of powerpop and 70s British punk.
The Sword – Gods Of The Earth
Austin, Texas’ The Sword is back with another chapter in their history. “Gods Of The Earth” is more of the same and I’m still liking it.
Sera Cahoone – Only As The Day Is Long
Hailing from Seattle, by way of Denver, Sera Cahoone used to play the drums in the bands Carissa’s Weird and the slightly amazing Band Of Horses.
The Donots – Coma Chameleon
Next to The Beatsteaks and – unfortunately – Die Toten Hosen, The Donots are Germany’s punk pride.
Flight Of The Conchords – S/T
If you are already familiar with the Flight Of The Conchords from their HBO show with the same name, you will already know all of the songs featured on this album.
