Paul Newman & the Ride Home - The Importance of Being Ernest Hemingway


Normally when I think pop-punk I get bad vibes, but this band from Baltimore changes that notion. They have some folk-punk influence, not in the traditional sense, but in the sense that you would probably think they were from Gainesville, Florida if you didn't know better. I like their band name, their music ain't bad either.

Suns - Three Songs


Suns are three guys from Connecticut who make honest punk flavoured indie jams. With a six track EP on the way, Three Songs is a taster of what's to come. And it's yummy too. The music is a bit more technical than it sounds, the sound is sparse and spacey but dynamic with it. My favourite track is Fuck Me While I'm Down, but all three are excellent pieces of indie rock joy. This will easily tide you over until the EP hits, so get it.
I still think the singer's voice is similar to Say Anything, even if Jesse disagrees!

Atom and His Package - Redifining Music



Atom (or Adam Goren) and his Package (or his guitar/sequencer combo) is synth punk awesomeness. If you like Math The Band, you will definitely enjoy this album. Danceable, hummable, and singable, are all apt names for one of the best synth punk albums around. Also, how can you not like a guy who has a song called "If You Own The Washington Redskins, You're A Cock" (listen to the lyrics, good stuff). Now a Physics teacher at a school in Pennsylvania, Atom(Adam) doesn't release any more albums under the AaHP moniker, but he is still kicking around in a band called Armalite if you are interested.

Chris Clavin - The Roads Don't Lead home, The Roads Lead Everywhere



Like most of Chris's work, this album focuses on everyday life. This one is centered more specifically around traveling, and it is the kind of thing that makes you want to go everywhere. I like this because it seems to sort of follow the history of Plan-It-X, beginning in Bloomington and ending in Gainesville. I am going to Wisconsin this week so I will probably be listening to this a lot on that trip. It is really a great album, if you like his work as Captain Chaos, this is pretty much the same type of thing, just released under his own name.

Here ya go!

Two Hand Fools - Who's Driving?



Well, I had planned for my next post to be Spoonboy, but I decided that with all of the folk-punk going on I'd post some catchy punk rock coming from Ohio instead. These guys (and one girl) from Cleveland are punk with a little pop and that little touch in there that makes you want to sing along with every word. This isn't their most recent release, they have a newer EP up on worth a listen because of how memorizable (yeah, I just made up a word) every song on this album is. Not because it is really simple, but because of the sheer catchiness (Yeah, I made up another word) that they have in there.

Every punk band ever- Short Music for Short People


Circle Jerks. Blink 182. Black Flag. Tilt. 101 thirty second songs by 101 punk bands from all across the spectrum.

Listening to this album in its entirety is an experience difficult to describe. The album only lasts about fifty and a half minutes, but in that time you’re listening to exactly 101 different songs. This album will kick your brain in the balls, and, just maybe, in the heart too. In the days of yore when CDs were first manufactured, nobody imagined the day 101 songs would be packed together like this- and for that reason, the last three songs had to be combined on one track (track 99). But you can rest assured, my friend, that you’re getting the full 101.

Like your punk music, but can't decide which band to listen to? Put this puppy on and listen to every one. Don't like punk music, but you're thinking of getting into it in a small way? Listen to a few of these bite-sized songs to decide whether punk music is right for you. Got some punk chick you want to impress? Get this bad boy on your iPod and scroll through your artist list. She’ll be all over you like cheese on pie.

Punkin Pie - Broke Truck Good Luck Song


Aside from having a kickass name, Punkin Pie definitely has a kickass sound. This album is full of energy driving punk that will make you dance and shout from ex members of the band Rosa. Their boy-girl vocal bouncing is absurdly catchy especially in Cold and Clammy which is one of my favorites. Another great amateur feeling Plan-It X band.

The Devil is Electric – I’ve Never Trusted a Revolutionary Who Was Afraid to Dance


You'd think I was in love with Chris Clavin or something, but I'm really just theming certain days. You'll catch on to what's going on in the later days. Anyways, The Devil is Electric is post-Opperation Cliff Clavin, but pre-Ghost Mice and Captain Chaos era. Basically, an in between mosh of the three(Mostly Ghost Mice and Operation Cliff Clavin), the band members being Ghost Mice plus a drummer. Hannah and Chris were already preforming under Ghost Mice and when Grant(The drummer) quit, the band ceased to exhist and Ghost Mice was a full time operation.
