Everyone Everywhere-A Lot of Weird People Standing Around
I vaguely knew of EE existing over last couple of years, and am making up for it now by listening to this EP over and over.

One of the first bands that this reminded me of was The Progress, which is funny because EE is on the same label with the singer's new band Into...

Football, Etc-First Down
Lindsay and Mercy returned recently to play two Tin Kitchen reunion shows with good buddies P.S. Eliot. I've always wanted to have her over to record, but Houston isn't the closest city to New York.

If you like what you hear, you can also download Football, etc and Tin Kitchen's records in the Album section.

Salinas Records-Label
Marco has a birthday coming up, so I figured I'd be a great guy and write something nice about him. Over the last 7 years, he has ran one of the most consistently awesome labels that I know of. Salinas has put out so many great records over the years that cannot be pigeonholed, and it's all ran out of...

Ava Luna-Past the Barbary
Ava Luna was first brought up in my interview with Laura Stevenson. Since then I've been trading emails back and forth with them about having them over for a Pink Couch.

The Holy Mess-DISMOUNT
When asked for a description of this band, Justin August of Punknews said "I'd say Banner Pilot, Loved Ones, Lawrence Arms and the Menzingers having a naked twister orgy lubed up by Natty Boh." I was with him until the very end. That's way too many people playing Twister.

If you are fan of late 90's/early 00's Fat Wreck,...

The Fucking Cops-Demo
I've always had a soft spot for Cleveland, ever since my first tour with Air Raid Barcelona & Frame. Since then, I've gone back a handful of times and always been excited about the new bands they've formed. The newest one sprung from the recent demise of Vietnam Werewolf, with Jon and Andy picking up two new recruits.
