LATTERMAN : "no matter where we go"



(No idea)

Good hi energy shit along the same lines as against me! And the Lawrence arms.
Catchy,up beat sing a longs that is prolly love more if I was 23 years old and drunk.

SCORPIOS "s/t"



2013 (fat wreck chords) orginally self released in 2011.

I can't say enough about this record I'm not sure whether to call it an LP or a 12inch ep.

It consists of 9 songs some sung together,some solo.

Needless to say the tony sly(RIP) songs are tear jerkers.

The song "LIFER" is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion.

MUST OWN!!!!!

STRUNG OUT : "twisted by design"



1998 (fat wreck chords)

The 3rd record from this classic FAT band.

To be completely honest with you,until recently I never really got into these guys.either I was "saving em for later" or I was put off by there later "prog punk" metalish shit...either way in fuckiv stoked on this beast and am definitely getting more.

Chris Wollard + the ship thieves : "canyons"




2013 (no idea)

One of three records by the mr.wollard (hot water music,the draft) released on NO IDEA RECORDS.

On fucking beautiful clear/glass colored (light green??) vinyl it reminds me of an old coke bottle...probably the most beautiful clear vinyl I've ever seen.

As much as I've enjoyed his follow ups to HWM and as unfair it is to compare his projects to that of chuck ragans,the undeniable truth is ... Fuck it apples vs oranges.

Bauhaus : "in the flat field"




1978 (ACD)

Classic goth/dark wave

Peter Murphy at his finest.

No guilt to this pleasure 

Chuck Ragan : "feast or famine"





2011 (no idea) 

Mad Caddies : "dirty rice"



2014 (fat wreck chords)

Holy shit this record is a banger!! 

Current best ska band in the world.uncontested but still...

Baroness : "yellow + green" 2xLP





2013 (relapse)

Incredible double LP from the savannah GA sludge/rock n roll quartet.

These records are equally heavy/accessible.


Stunning artwork!!!

UKE-HUNT : "the prettiest star" 7inch




2014 (fat wreck chords)

The debut release from Spike slawson (gimmes,revolts,swingin utters).

Another amazing cover band.

Note worthy : awesome old school large 45 cut out (appropriate for this release/band)

Their self titled LP is due out 6/10/14.
You can bet your dick I'll be posting about that one shortly there after!

Stellar release!

Old man markley : "stupid today" 7inch



2014 (fat wreck chords)

Awesome title track and they stick to the tradition of throwing on a classic fat punk cover(reeko).

AVAIL : "One wrench"



2000 (fat wreck chords)

I remember wearing an Avail "Dixie" shirt to a DIY hardcore show in Daytona in 2000 and some shitbag south florida kid saying "avail...the band that won't go away."

As I recall he was wearing a "new found glory" shirt.I find irony in that.
