Ben Kweller - Changing Horses

Well, I've been a wimp up to this point about leaked albums, but I figure one day in advance isn't going to kill anybody... Eh? I guess I shouldn't have not posted the new Bruce Springsteen Album. Anyways, this is Ben Kweller's album being released tomorrow. Enjoy being able to purchase it tomorrow for a physical copy especially if it's vinyl. I think you'll find this to be more of a country feeling album than his previous.

The New Enemy - Outsourced EP

Clint McLean of the Toronto punk band The New Enemy recently emailed me asking me to post their lastest EP which they put up for a free download on their website. He also thanked me for having such a great blog and boosted my ego a little. Maybe I can boost his a little too. I gave the band a listen and it's actually really good. It's five tracks and a Kid Dynamite cover which is really a nice addition and I'm glad they added it. It's pretty hardcore, but if you like punk, I think you'll find this a fine addition to your collection. Plus, you get some underground rep because these guys are pretty new forming in 2008 yet all band members having heavy experience in other bands. Support bands that want us to support them. I appreciate bands/artists giving music for free so show your appreciation and at least listen because I'm sure you'll like it.

Buddy Holly - The Singles+

Also... WHY HAVEN'T I POSTED BUDDY HOLLY!??! While being one of the leading forces in what Rock and Roll is today, he wrote cute bitty bop songs and was always America's hearthrob. Take that Zach Efron! He's definitely a classic by anybody who doesn't suck at music or something. Sporting those thick rimmed glasses, all the hipsters wanna be like him. Fishboy also made an entire rock opera devoted to Buddy Holly and Weezer made a song about him. The day his plane crashed and he died was called "The Day The Music Died". I also use that term for the day Fall Out Boy became a band.

Mischief Brew - Songs From Under The Sink

Mischief Brew is one of those bands I sort of assumed that I already posted and forgot about because they are just that good. If you enjoy folk-punk, you'll recognize Mischief Brew as a legendary band. Headed by Erik Petersen, you'll enjoy plenty of neat instruments coffee driven guitar. Favorites are "Coffee, God, and Cigarettes", "Children Play With Matches", and "Dreams of the Morning" all three which are all in a row so you wont have to skip around. Also, he Erik likes to preform solo sometimes and I'll be posting something of that nature sometime.

This Town Needs Guns - This Town Needs Guns

I know, what's with the double self titled albums, right? This Town Needs Guns are a math/indie rock band originating from Oxford, United Kingdom. They were formed in 2006. Over the years the band’s musical style has progressed and changed, although the focal point of their style has been the impressive guitar work of Tim Collis interspersed with solid, and at points highly complex, drumming and sparse, melodic bass.

French Quarter - French Quarter

French Quarter is a lo-fi accoustic indie rocker. Not much to say about him, but he's good if you're a fan of Mt. Eerie sort of stuff.

Throw Me The Statue - Moonbeams

Throw Me The Statue is an indie rock band from Seattle, Washington which has caught my fancy after a friend of mine sent the track "Lolita" to me. I decided to get the entire Moonbeams album and it was a great idea. Not only does the nude female diving into water attract my attention, but upon listening I was thrilled. Amazon rates this the 16th best album of 2008 even though it was released in 2007. Probably re-released because it didn't make the cut for 2007. Whatever.

Tobacco - Fucked Up Friends

Yes, it is possible to make to make Black Moth Super Rainbow more awesome than it already is. That is to let Tom Fec(Tobacco) to do a solo album. He keeps the same Black Moth Super Rainbow sound and molds it into his own style which is more of a hip-hop blend of some sort. Aesop Rock is even featured on the track "Dirt". There are vocals which is also a plus on top of Black Moth. Indieducky placed this album on their "Best of 2008" list for a reason. Well, 2008 did suck for music, but you know what I mean.

Ben Kweller - Sha Sha

Ben Kweller was found by my roomate when he opened for Connor Oberst and his Valley Band or whatever he is called now. He's become one of our favorites and this album is definitely reaching my top favorites at the moment quickly. This 2000 album is his first and is probably his best. To be honest, it feels like one of Weezer's lost albums especially in "Wasted and Ready" and "Comerce,TX". Please comment on this post if you think it sounds remotely like Weezer so I know I'm not going insane. Even the his voice sounds like Rivers Cuomo. Enjoy.

Hail Seizures - Hail Seizures

A great folky punk band that is definitely meant to be seen live. Not a very good recording but you will have a lot of fun listening to this album similar to Blackbird Raum.

Figured I'd take a band from a blog from our friend's list since they took a couple from ours.
