im picky about my music so i dont really get many "lasting value" bands from these but i checked out Every You yesterday, i think a good number of people could get into this band so check em out if you havent already. i think The Jealously Game will be a band you probably hate or dig and im a little iffy but they totally seem like they have fun with what they do so maybe that'll warrant some interest.

[DI Pistola]

Surprised to see State Radio on this list. I thought they were pretty big already.

[TheFaceOfZach]

The Hybrid sounded pretty tight and solid there.

Surprise Surprise wrecked their EP release show saturday

(videos like a month old, videos from saturday aren't up yet)

[prefix-core]

That Squirtgun live album is tight, and a nice collection of tracks from an underrated pop-punk band. Those digging that new Broadway Calls album should take note. As well as those who like the song that plays during the opening credits of Mall Rats - "Social" is on this release. Haha.

[denissuxx]

Nothing of interest for me this week.

[GlassAsGum]

Fans of Big D And The Kids Table, Less Than Jake and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones will love Victims of Circumstance. Steve Foote of Big D produced the new album, and Tim Burton of the Bosstones produced the band's debut

[teh_erica]

The Jealousy Game is pretty good.

[medusasplaypen]

thanks again linda for putting us up there! hope someone digs our stuff.

I love Colors in the Air

[manofdaladies]

I would like to see album reviews for State Radio and Colors in the Air. Both of them are very popular bands here in the New England area, and I did not expect to see them on this list.

[a6griffiths]

American Vinyl..after hearing like 30 seconds of the lyrics I couldnt take it anymore.
