So for the past week I've had the flu, Pneumonia, and Bronchitis, all at once. Brutal.
I really enjoyed this album during my "Time off" so i thought it would be a good first post back. Hope everyone likes it!

It's the gruff, melodic pop punk like Off with Their Heads that I love so much.

too punx to write a lot, but I think this is better than the vegetable CD if you know who Toby is already, and If you don't, this is a good place to get acquainted.

spacey, ambient jams from the boys who brought you Indian Summer.

Fire on Fire

Fire on Fire
The Orchard
Folk

Fire On Fire used to be the art-punk-prog-chaos collective Cerberus Shoal, but they ditched their electric instruments, went into hiding for a while, and now play all acoustic—stand up bass, mandolin, banjo, harmonium, accordion, acoustic guitar, dobro etc etc, and they all sing and harmonize on the songs.

Converge

Axe to Fall
Metalcore

AWWW YEAAA

Drumming is fucking fierce, I'm liking it more than no heroes.

Teenage Cool Kids

Teenage Cool Kids
Queer Salutations
Indie Rock/Punk

I'm lazy and yanked this from last.fm:
The quartet blends nihilistic lyrics about the detachment of college town life with catchy hooks and triumphant choruses. Rumor has it that [this album], was written to sync up with an episode of My So Called Life.

Fun.

Fun.
Aim and Ignite
Indie Pop

Sounds like The Apples in Stereo covering Queen songs on BROADWAY.
Not to say this band isn't original, it is, that's just the vibe i get when these guys play there super anthemic brand of Indie Pop, very theatrical, very "Big" i guess. Only on my second or third play through, but this is probably the second best album this year.

Star Child
Folk Pop

really cool folky tunes, I'm digging the electronic bits. I think this is max's first full length, if I'm wrong, and you still read the blog feel free to call me a shit head. One of the few artists who actually encourage me putting up their music, so please, give it a download.

I dunno, this is really original stuff, like if DFA1979 was really hardcore, and spazzier, but still poppy sometimes.

Matty Pop Chart

Matty Pop Chart
Good Old Water
Folk Pop

i think this is my first request, i dunno. Regardless, Matty Pop Chart rules, and you should listen to this, The guitar work isn't as balls out as later albums, but its still really good.
