7"
Trap Them, Such a good introduction the the band, after seeing them at a local show I had to check them out, they definitely had my support. Crunchy vocals, and super heavy guitar riffs.
Against Me! I obtained this EP from my dear friend, after already owning the CD and their discography I was a fan. Not getting into the politics of them or their evolution as a band, I was pleased with this record. It had "Thrash Unreal" and "You must be Willing" recorded, both songs were entertaining, as an avid Against Me! fan.
Inert Funny story behind this album. I was surfing the RevHQ site (highly recommended) and I saw this 7" I bought it purely based on cover art. It is old school hardcore based, and overall it was a good listen. Being an artist I know that good cover art is epic in some cases, John Dyer Baizley, ahem ahem...
The Carrier "No Love Can Save Me" this record was really nice, although at first, listening to it was really difficult, due to my having the player on the wrong speed. I knew it was not what I had heard in the car ride when I was introduced to them.
Jason Mraz OK OK I know what most of you are probably thinking, but i enjoy his sound. It is corny as can be, but hey, the guy is damn uplifting. The "I'm Yours" single is on e of my funniest yet most memorable buys. When I was handed it by my record mentor I was like "Awe, you remembered" and all that weird semi-gay stuff, but I actually enjoy the song.
Fake Problems I got this record at their show at the Southgate House with Murder by Death. The guys were really cool, they were still humble enough to actually talk to me. The songs are all titled after Blink 182 songs (as some of you may already know, I grew up on Blink 182) so I naturally appreciated it. White vinyl only made the purchase that much sweeter.
MXPX Long time fan, saw this at the record store, bought it, mostly to relive some memories.
Bright Eyes Hey, I'm a softie, it was decent.
Trap Them/Extreme Noise Terror Not gonna lie, had I known this was a one-song-per-band split I probably wouldn't have spent my $5.00 on it. If it weren't for the damn beautiful black and white vinyl it was pressed on, I might be a bitter man.
Kylesa Nice and heavy, like a sunny afternoon with a storm rolling in over the horizon, second track, intrumental. Decent buy.
Bullet Treatment/It's Casual While browsing the 7"s at the record store I was handed this, the guy said "Freebies." Naturally, being the poor man that I am I could not refuse FREE VINYL. It's a nice little harder punk ditty. Would I recommend this? Sure, if you were in the mood for a short lived mosh sesh with some friends.
12"
Black Tusk I saw these guys a while back. The album is good, yelling vocals and shredding riffs, keeping it sludgey as hell.Commissioning John Dyer Baizley to do the album art was a wise decision as well.
Journey Greatest Hits, says it all right there.
The Ting Tings Whol among us doesn't just want to put on a record and dance every once in a while? I know I would be a liar if I denied it. Fun, dancey, and poppy tunes from the U.K.
None More Black Another good old punk record from Fat. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless you had the money to burn.
Big D and the Kid's Table/Brain Failure One of my favorite records I own. Big D serves up a heaping dish of rude boy ska, and, while I was a bit apprehensive at first about them, Brain failure was really well recieved by meself. Rancid/Joe Strummer similarities show through with the vocals, nice punk rock from China.
Refused Probably the best record I own. Buy it. Listen. Cherish. Repeat.
The All American Rejects I know they aren't what they used to be, but this IS what they used to be. A nice little band with high frequency drum machine sounding drums and a guy that looks like the main character from Smallville. I liked it.
Alkaline Trio Found this on Ebay, bought it, knowing what I was in for, which was a good time.
Trap Them This album IS sludge, it is filth, it is static that finds it's way through the television and enters your brain through your ears. A pile of feces and endtrails is all that will remain after you blare this through your speakers. It is beautiful. Not many bands can decipher a sound by the album graphics. This band succeeds in doing so. With a heaping dose of static and texture defining the cover and packaging the album is topped off with the glory that is clear vinyl, not solidly clear, but with a speck of black here and there, proving that nothing is as devine as we once assumed. You should probably own this album, and be proud of it.
