The riot before- Split 7" w. Broadway calls/So long the lighthouse/Fists buried in pockets

Their last release and first full lenght is A BOMB! Huge guitars and passionate, slightly raspy vocals. Nice upbeats, Mike Ness meets Against me meets Gaslight Anthem americana with a folk punk accent. Catchy, anthemic, one of the best album of 2008. Memorable. The quartet from Richmond, Va deserves a "very very highly recommended" note! Impressive considering the work on that record and you'll be able to compare with previous stuff such as a split with The broadway calls and an ep name so long the lighthouse.

We are wild stallions

Lucero- New songs(live)/Nobody's darling/Tennessee

Rocknroll from below the Mason-Dixon line, at its finest. Lucero, from Memphis Tennessee seems loaded with whiskey and deep as the old south can be. Hurdling Mike Ness, Johnny Cash, working with Jim Dickinson for Nobodys Darling (Bob Dylan, The replacements, The Rolling Stones...) Lucero after a decade of clubs, bars and many miles of tar has just reached a new level, bringing their alt country-southern rock to a major company. Ben Nichols and co have made their choice, so before that here are some new songs (maybe in their upcoming record) for the fans and some old songs for those about to rock. One hell of a band.

Straight in your face hardcore, minor threat ealy period.
This is so damn good from one of my favorite label. Jade tree.

#1 reason to move to Gainesville

I bought this record in Nyc, at generation records and i first tought it was an old comp. Boy I was wrong. I was used to the big headlines, big names. I only knew one name before listenning to it...that's maybe why i thought it was old, like the first steps of no idea records...
These are ten tracks with ten different bands from Ga, Fla.
I can't count the times i've said to myself that i'm going to the next Fest!
Still waiting.
Please tell me? How many bands are from Gainesville?
Still counting.

Kimya Dawson&Matty pop chart- Split 7"

Anti folk, childish pop, indie stuff, ala plan itx...

One. You may have heard of Kimya Dawson in the ost of Juno, if not before.
Two. Whats important is her lyrics, with her music tending to serve as a mere platform for humorous stories whose serious subject matter contradicts the childlike catchiness underpinning them.
Three. Antsy pants is a side project of her.

One. Matty pop chart is a less polished John K. Samson, nasally and sweet.
Two. Matt tobey is his real name, he used to play in Abe Froman. Check all of this!
Three. There is no number three.
