Here are the new albums we put up today- ENJOY!
The long awaited release from New Orleans based pop-punk group The Lollies. 10 well composed songs with introspective lyrics. The band spent almost a year self recording / mixing these tunes.
The Rooks - I Can’t, I Won’t, Give Up:
8 New tracks from The Rooks – New Orleans based Pop-Punk group with Rob Landry, Brian Pretus, and Greg Rodrigue. The songs range in lyrical subject matter from perseverance through mental obstacles to existential place in our world, to dealing with lies from loved ones. From the heart.
Marathon - In Between the Seasons:
This is the first EP from Marathon, They are a hard working, creative, and unique group out of New Orleans, Louisiana. They play a blend of math rock, melodic punk, and heartfelt indie rock. For fans of: maps and atlases, american football, & godspeed you! black emperor.
Lisabi - Au Diable Les Bananes:
New friends from Brazil! Their songs say quite a bit about their ambition & ethics. They are looking to make honest punk music with raw energy. They use a number of different musical stylings to get that across. They list their influences as: Fela Kuti, Fugazi, Refused, The Flaming Tsunamis, & Bomb the Music Industry!
Murphy’s Kids- The Anthemic Pandemic:
Murphy’s Kids follows up their last release, Departures, with this hard hitting, super-hot-jamz testament to living your life to the fullest.In typical Murphy’s Kids fashion, the record is drenched in reggae and funk colors with a splash or two of punk rock near the middle of the record. This record really has it all: skafunkrastapunk, if you will. Killer horn and guitar solos, solid, almost-gospel drumming, lots of weird effects, and catchy, relevant lyrics.
Swear Jar - Spring 2010 Tour Sampler:
Fun. These guys are certainly that. Straight forward heartfelt punk from the land of Connecticut. There’s a lot we could say about this band and the people that are / were in it, but…. I think we will leave that to them.
It’s better than Christmas!
