i heard taddy porter is pretty good. I'll probably give that a listen.

Bellicose Picketers - Wisteria EP

RIYL: Blink meets Explosions in the Sky

Grabbed just because of the RIYL. I mean, really? Awesome-o.

got the Handguns EP in my email today and have been listening on repeat for the past hour, if you like pop-punk you need to d/l that a.s.a.p.

Flag and Forget, Old Hands, and Spirit Fangs have interesting RIYLs. I'll check them out.

Bands are pretty liberal with their RIYL, heh.

Everybody please check out the first in a series of 3 compilation ep's from myself and Wait! Rewind That Productions.

They are(will be) free and straight from my bachelor degree portfolio.

The one above includes a new song from Freshman 15.

a few of these really caught my attention, hope they live up to the RIYL
Edit: astellaway is really good, so is Handguns

if 3OH!3 weren't on Dance Atlantic's RIYL, i'd check them out fo sho .

Wow...Risky Business is...well, it's not exactly good. Some of his lyrics are clever though.

grabbed the Old Hands Ep! Pretty sick
