Fucked Up
Hardcore/Punk
Toronto, Ontario Canada

For Fans Of: Poison Idea, Black Flag, Kid Dynamite

These guys have been around since 2001, and I just heard them for the first time early in 2008, which means I’ve been sleepin’ on them. I decided to pick up the Hidden World LP released in 2006 after listening to a couple mp3s my buddy sent me. I’ve been listening to it several times a week ever since.

Since their latest release in 2008 called The Chemistry of Common Life, they’ve been garnering plenty of attention including being the first “hardcore punk” artists to be on the cover of NME.

I still prefer Hidden World though.

American Football
Indie Rock/Lounge
Urbana, Illinois

For Fans of: Cap’n Jazz, Braid, Arma Secreta

I discovered these guys a couple years ago, but their self titled album (which happened to be their only release unfortunately) was released in 1999. Yet another great band lost to me for many years. With American Football’s drifting, and floating waves of melody, I wish I had known about them much earlier. Don’t YOU miss out on them either if you haven’t heard them yet! Definitely music much appreciated!:)

Rumspringer
Punk Rock/Pop Punk
Tempe, AZ USA

For Fans Of: Lawrence Arms, Teenage Cool Kids, American Steel

I saw these guys a few weeks ago at this rad house show. I was only able to catch these guys and Japanese Monsters because I had to work, which sucked. I’m glad I got to catch Rumspringer though cause they killed it.

The Cure
Post-Punk/New Wave
Crawley, England

For Fans Of: The Smiths, New Order, Joy Division

One of my all time favorite bands! I went through a period there in the early 2000’s where I didn’t listen to this band that much anymore. What can I say, I through phases. This past year I’ve been puttin’ some Cure in the queue, and release the teenage memory floodgates.

Here’s a video of a favorite song from The Cure. You’ll recognize the song since it’s from the movie The Crow, one of my favorite movies as well.

Check out my buddy Steve’s post he made on The Cure, he included some downloads. His blog is Compendium of Cosandium.

Municipal Waste
Thrash/Speed Metal
Richmond, VA USA

For Fans Of: Sick Of It All, Sepultura, Anthrax

Hazardous Mutation was the first record I ever heard of Municipal Waste’s. Such a great record. The guitar and drum work on this album will blow you away, along with Tony ‘Guardrail’ Foresta’s fast, rhythmic bark.

None More Black
Pop-Punk/Rock
NYC/PHLY USA

For Fans Of: Lawrence Arms, Kid Dynamite, LaGrecia

After former Kid Dynamite vocalist Jason Shevchuk finished film school, he decided to form None More Black back in the winter of 2000.

They signed to Fat Wreck Chords and released two sweet records. They broke up briefly in 2007 while Jason was caught up with LaGrecia. Fortunately, things didn’t go as planned and None More Black is back together and from what they say on their Myspace, they’re working on a new record!

Trash Talk
Hardcore / Thrash
Sacramento, CA USA

For Fans Of: Ceremony, Eating Glass, Rotting Out

You’ve probably already heard of these guys, since they’ve been all the rage the last year or two. They’ve been killin’ it though, on what seems like a never ending tour. If you haven’t heard these guys yet, and like your hardcore punk extra fast AND extra sludgy, then you’ll probably really dig Trash Talk.

Living With Lions
Punk/Rock/Hawaiian
VANCOUVER, BC
Canada

For Fans Of: Braid, The Get Up Kids, Polar Bear Club.

I was first introduced to this band through my buddy Marko, and I have to admit at first I thought this band was just a joke after reading their name. Boy was I wrong, these guys are writing some great catchy, fast punk rock. Very Infectious!

Neil Young
Rock/Folk
Toronto, Ontario, Canada

For Fans Of: Neil Young

This Canadian needs no introduction. Bands that were/are influenced by Neil Young are as wide and varied as Neil Young’s music itself. From soft folk rock, to loud, distortion laden rock n’ roll Neil Young can do it all man! I know hard times are coming, or so the TV says, which means there’s no better time to put on some Neil Young tunes. Here’s a couple of my favorite songs, along with a sweet video.

Neil Young
Song:The Needle and a Damage Done
Album: Harvest (1972)

Neil Young
Song: My My, Hey Hey
Album: Rust Never Sleeps (1979)

Unwound
Post-Punk/Rock
Tumwater, WA USA

For Fans Of: Fugazi, The Microphones, Indian Summer

Hitting the scene in 1991, these guys never became really popular, as is the case with a lot of great bands that time has forgot. I was fortunate enough to be recommended this band from Steve Cosand over at Compendium of Cosandium. I personally feel these guys peaked in 2001 with the release of Leaves Turn Inside You, but don’t take my word for it.
