How about some Madina Lake? They've always been a guilty pleasure. Might as well get a review going...

I think you're missing the point of this post.

[awakeohsleeper]

Someone should definitely review Pegasus Bridge. I did some work for their record label once. The lead singer seemed nice anyway.

[iRpoint4]

Hollow Crown by Architects is solid

[Kbm600]

I'm incredibly interested in seeing how Madina Lake is.

[lissalynn]

Oh man, I remember seeing Freshman 15 around at local shows a couple years back. I think they were called Xzamen?

[red8ge]

Reviews for Madina Lake and Arsonists Get All The Girls please?

[TheVolume]

review for bears & bright lights please? :)

[Christian Wagner]

I can vouch that Bears and Bright Lights are really good. You can really hear the mid 90s emo influence of The Get Up Kids and others in it.

[lmchirillo]

Check out the band Verona Red. They're from Chicago and pretty sweet. Definitely worth a listen.

[teh_erica]

Freshman 15! I love those guys.

And yes, Freshman 15 used to be called Xzamen.

[Dan Sando]

You should check out my friends in Satterthwaite...think you'll enjoy!

...first 3 songs and the last one on the player are my personal favorites

[punkrawkgoddess]

Oh No Not Stereo!! Those guys rule. And they know how to party.

[ohh lee]

Oh No Not Stereo sounds pretty good.

[ohitisjess]

oh no not stereo :-)

[huskyfan_7]

Prologue please. The piano player is a midfielder on my lacrosse team

[denissuxx]

I think you're missing the point of this post.
LOL!

[space&time]

We're looking for a solid review for our debut, "Stranger Sounds." We are a hip hop project, but we're not looking for hip hop listeners only to review our album. Thanks in advance.

Gaia & Jennison
[S&T]

[Yellowcard2006]

Oh No Not Stereo...is that getting a physical release soon?...well review would be good anyway. Also after hearing "Never Walk Alone" I am afraid for the fail that might be the next Madina Lake album, a review would be very nice.

[nickyrayxnj]

bears and bright lights!!

[Moira Amiss]

(hed) PE is still around??????? aww, that brings back memories to the awkward little kid i used to be (and still am). my first show: Project 86, (hed) PE, and P.O.D. at the Metro.

[just_farrah]

I think you're missing the point of this post.
Hmmm... why?

Do you know how to read? I provided my personal opinion and request for a review. How is that missing the point of the thread? Lol.

[zubinmoosa]

Freshman 15 and Madina Lake

[steveC]

Space and Time sounds really cool. review please?:-)

[The_EasyKill]

Definitely Oh No Not Stereo. Those dudes have toured with bands like Bayside and Hit The lights and will be hitting the road with AAR. Their tunes are rocking and very original. These guys do not make cookie cutter pop punk songs that a million other bands do. They rock hard, party hard, and work hard. Lets see them get some more exposure, they totally deserve it!

[Ryzenfall]

Review of the "Know Me" LP by Twentyfour 64 please.

[mo0ink]

review valet parking!

[unsatisfied157]

woah! SubVerso is on here? they are pretty awesome. would definitely love to see a review of them.

[unsatisfied157]

oh yea and plastiq passion is pretty rad too
