Fantastic follow up from last year; will be a favorite of the year.

Wavves - King of the Beach, good electro-lofi music. Am I a hipster yet? lol

Man Overboard - Before We Met, I can seriously listen to this album on repeat for a long, long time. Good stuff.

Downtown Battle Mountain II and Vs. the Earthquake compilation

The movie looks pretty sweet, but I heard the soundtrack is really something to be mesmerized by.

Bayside - Killing Time

The Starting Line's EPs, Titus Andronicus (because the band is really friendly and Patrick is totally chill), making mix cds again, cheesecake.

Nicely done.

lovin the Slowreader rec.

two door cinema club.

best intentions - "this song's about a girl i hate." no joke when i say that's the best pop punk song about a girl i've ever heard.

loooove the mynabirds

Supporting efforts in Japan by getting Vs. the Earthquake

:-)

They're great.

I like it more than The Impossibles.

Awesome recs this week, staff. Head and the Heart is one of my favorite local bands, I'm really happy that they're getting some exposure from SXSW. Love Black Milk too.

Support Japan!

Christian wins.

Saves The Day....everything

I'm really loving this song. Do they have an album out or anything? The only thing that I'm gathering is that they're no longer a band anymore, but when I downloaded the song it says that it's track 2 on "Intention Redemption."

(Oh, and the drums sound absolutely terrible. I want to know who heard how those drums were mixed and said, "yep, this sounds great." It's still a great song though.)

Hostage Calm
Hey Mercedes- Loses Control
Red City Radio

Haha there's no comparison for me. Slowreader's self-titled is one of my favourite albums of all time.

Did they really? That'd be pretty amazing if they did; such a talented band.

if you PM me your e-mail address i can forward you the e-mail i got with all their old stuff.

Well, in addition to playing at SXSW, they're slated for a Sasquatch set in May, so if that doesn't get them out there I don't know what will.

Also, I fucking love this:

Haha yeah, I love that too. Posted that in my thread (which I linked to). Great performance!

I've been trying to promote them a bunch the past few months. Hopefully it pays off.

I think The Vaccines will be the soundtrack to my summer. So catchy!

I agree, very glad you enjoy. "Wolf Pack" has become my favourite the past day or so (it changes frequently). The sun suits the sound of that song I think, I also haven't stopped spinning the secret track "Somebody Else's Child" on my vinyl copy. Sounds so lush.

Bought their single and tickets to a show based off of that video. Thanks!

I bought it off amazon mp3 for £3.99 and it included 'Somebody Else's Child'. Great track, but I thought it was out of place on the album. Now that I know that it was supposed to be a secret track, it makes a bit more sense. Thoroughly enjoyable album start to finish. I can see them getting huge this year.
