For Fans Of: Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes, and Quicksand
These dudes sent me their album a couple weeks back to give to you all. They’re an Austin, TX based band with early 90’s influences such as Drive Like Jehu, Fugazi, and Quicksand. Past shows include ones with Fatal Flying [...]

Sonic Youth
Post-Punk/Experimental/Rock
New York, NY USA

For Fans Of: The Velvet Underground, Dinosaur Jr., Pavement
Whenever a new Sonic Youth album is released many who are familiar with their work hover more or less around a single thought. Will this be a solid accessible album that we can rock to or will it be a cryptic [...]

Jawbreaker
Pop/Post-Punk/Rock
San Francisco, CA USA

For Fans Of: Fugazi, Jets To Brazil, Hot Water Music
My favorite Jawbreaker album, not just because it’s my favorite set of Jawbreaker songs, but I feel Blake Schwarzenbach’s vocals sounds especially good on this record.

Teenage Cool Kids

Denton, TX USA

For Fans Of: Meneguar, Ringers, Jawbreaker
I just ran across this new video by the Teenage Cool Kids (TCK), it’s pretty hilarious/awesome. Stream the video below.

Faraquet
Post-Punk/Alternative
Washington DC, USA

For Fans Of: Fugazi, Jawbox, The Nation of Ulysses
I started listening to this band about a year ago, and am just now getting around to doing a post on them. My apologies.

Bear vs. Shark
Post-Punk/Rock
Ferndale, MI USA

For Fans Of: At The Drive-In, Fugazi, Drive Like Jehu
Before I ever listened to Bear vs. Shark I was told by somebody, who’s word I now take with a grain of salt, that B vs. S was just a rip-off of At The Drive-In. While I can definitely see [...]

For Fans Of: Pixies, R.E.M., Naked Raygun
Husker Du, which means “Do you remember” in Norwegian, was one of the first bands that people classified as “post-punk”, since their inception in 1979. Such a highly influential band, greatly appreciated.

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 [...]

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 [...]
