Universe - Passenger


Bloomington, IN supergroup playing metal-influenced punk/hardcore. Ridiculous pedigree aside (features members of Good Luck, Ghost Mice, and Soophie Nun Squad), this record is totally cool. This band played an incredibly last-minute show at my parent's house sometime last year and were great.

Fun fact: The singer of this band, who is an award-winning graphic novelist, did the artwork for the Guyana Punch Line record I posted earlier today.

Guyana Punch Line - Irritainment


Weird and sarcastic hardcore from South Carolina featuring ex-members of In/Humanity. This was recommended (and later sold) to me by a friend a while back and I still listen to it regularly. Thanks Brian.

Three Shades of Dirty - Paper Roses demo

1990 cassette demo released on Vermin Scum. Ex-member(s?) of The Hated. Shreddy emo with that "90s voice" thing going on. This shit is unreal. The track "Stalemate" fucks up and turns into static for a while and scared the shit out of me. Be careful

The New & Very Welcome - Drowning in it!

2007 full length from New England angsty singer / songwriter. "Emo" wouldn't be a terrible way to describe this album. "Fucking fantastic" works just as well.

Merchandise - (Strange Songs) In the Dark



Post-Punk from Tampa, FL featuring members of some really good hardcore bands (Divisions, Cult Ritual, etc.) This is their first full-length. It's noiser and more abstract than the earlier stuff, but still rules.

Joie De Vivre - The North End

Emo from Illinois. They wear their Mineral influence on their sleeve, but when was that ever a bad thing?
