Nightmares For A Week - A Flood Tomorrow

Nightmares For A Week is a three-piece punk/folk-rock band from Kingston, New York and right now they are currently among my three favorite locals (along with Document and Dead Channels). This band consisting of ex-members of Jerk Magnet/Ana Divine strays far from that mid-to-late 90's pop-punk sound and focuses more on a twangy guitar-driven country approach to punk rock. With the Jawbreaker influence blatantly obvious (what, you couldn't tell from the name of the band?), they also draw influences from the likes of older Against Me!, Lucero and Hot Water Music while still focusing in and delivering on a sound I would like to think as their own. This five-song EP showcases some of their best songs while at the same time leaving the listener anxious to hear what this band has in store next. If you dig what you hear, take a trip to their Myspace page and pick up a copy of the cd.

Texas Blind

There were a few dudes from my area who had a band...or still have a band. They always used to remind me of At The Drive-In...or maybe they still remind me of ATDI. They haven't played a show in forever and PROBABLY SHOULD GET ON THAT SOON.

Anyway, I present you all of this bands recorded material. Texas Blind is RIYL At The Drive-In, Fugazi and The Mars Volta; and even if you do not like those bands you should probably download this anyway.

One Last Wish

Damn, we fell off for a minute.

Anyway...I've been listening to this alot lately.

Completely underestimated this band. Kind of sounds like Rites of Spring (which is fitting because this band formed out of their break up) mixed with The Clash/Joy Division. Super catchy hooks with lots of punk energy and I love Guy Picciotto's vocals on this.

Life Detecting Coffins

In my opinion, probably the best band from Orange County, NY (just waiting for the response comment on that) and when you share members with Off Minor, it's not hard to see why.

Haunting, simple melodies dancing amongst sparse monotone vocals summarize Life Detecting Coffins interesting and original sound. You can hear influences of Fugazi, Black Flag, At The Drive-In and early 90's screamo.

Catatonic Begat Napoleonic

Bill Tone, I still want your guitar, but Dave Grohl had to steal that shit.
