Suprised there's no There For Tomorrow on this list

[Metal Now]

Liking WeHungYourLeader a lot. There needs to be more decent UK pop-punk.

[Kbm600]

I look forward to the Emery review, I really want to hear that one. Dredg sounds pretty amazing too. I'm anxious to see that reviewed as well.

Dredg and especially My Heart To Joy, awesome band!

Rhett Miller has been one of my favorite artists since 2005.

Nothing of interest here.

Maybe if you're not paying attention there isn't, cuz Last Lights and My Heart to Joy were/are sick.

[alecesp09]

how about the Freshmen?

[denissuxx]

Maybe if you're not paying attention there isn't, cuz Last Lights and My Heart to Joy were/are sick.
Not to my taste.

[ubben07]

I'm really digging the freshmen's new disc. It's super ambitious for such a new band.

[rorytws]

Love to see an Atom Gang review.

[rob_j23]

Atom Gang review dudes and dudettes, get on it!

[van_haylan]

I've never heard of half of these bands, and most are awsome. I especially like Hang Your Leader, they sound a-mazing. I'm really glad i looked these bands up, and thanks for posting about them. I also can't wait to here reviews about those i haven't heard yet.
