For all the other Gaslight Anthem nerds, I have a live acoustic set + interview for you. Just Brian but it is still pretty delicious and I enjoy hearing the songs played acoustically. ENJOY!!

Verse En Coma

When I had first of this band a couple years ago and listened to the only demo track they had posted on their myspace, I could not wait for this album to get released. However to my dismay, this album took FOREVER to come out.

Features members of Pg. 99, City of Caterpillar, Malady, and Darkest Hour. So obviously they're from Virginia, but they don't really take on a sound you might expect. Definitely falling into the shoegaze category, they use powerful riffs mixed with droney mixtures of delay and effects and feature catchy vocals.

I couldn't be happier I was finally able to get my hands on this record.

The Bouncing Souls - How I Spent My Summer Vacation

I figured I would make a Souls post seeing as how I am seeing them tonight (for maybe the 20th time) with GREYFUCKINGAREA and Sick Of It All & I am ridiculously excited. Best Bouncing Souls record. The end.

The Solidarity Pact

Speaking of Long Island, I caught this reunion recently and can't stop listening to this.

Features members of Latterman and Jeff from Bridge and Tunnel.

Fast, awesome hardcore.

Bridge And Tunnel

So I know that this guy is going to hate this post because he doesn't much care for this band, but I love them and this album is great.

This only being their second release, Bridge and Tunnel has shown a great deal of maturity from self-titled EP. Well developed melodies and thoughtful lyrics intertwining with punchy riffs and thundering drums give this album a punk attitude, but holds its own originality.

I can only begin to describe how good this album is. I would recommend picking it up for yourself. I mean, they have members of Latterman, The Solidarity Pact, Regarding I, and The Fellow Project, not sure how this could be bad.

By the way, I cannot stop watching this video.
