PS-Zack I know you hate this band and I am sure you don't enjoy me posting about them on here (every 5 seconds) but this is what you get for posting whackasstabulous bands like Bridge and Tunnel. DAWG I OWN YOU.

Pygmy Lush

Folky, indie, country-blues with and an ever-so-slight ambient quality is how I would describe the new Pygmy Lush record, Mount Hope. This may come of a bit of a surprise to those listening to this record hoping to hear Pg. 99, whose former members now play in this band.

A huge departure from their first record, Bitter River, which seemed to be somewhat of an experiment in a variety of genres and even featured a little bit of the old Pg. 99 punk. They seem to have found their style in the acoustic guitar and songs of a slower speed. This new record definitely has a sound comparable to Akron/Family and might be the perfect soundtrack for that "I'm tired of everything and I've given all hope" kind of feeling.

Give a try, you might like it

The Gaslight Anthem - Live in Boston

Gaslight Anthem Nerdery Pt. II

This is a live set from when they played Boston on August 17, 2008. This was the day after the record release show in NYC which was incredible. The quality isn't great but I thought it would be a lot worse. It hasn't kept me from listening to this a hundred times already. 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.
