If you liked what you heard from Dubai punk band Grand Hotel Paradox (second on the list) then you can watch this mini documentary about our recent Southeast Asia Tour here.

Ew, Deuce from Hollywood Undead?

Pass

really digging the Collection right now. it's nothing mindblowing, but definitely chill.

I'm really digging Goodtime Boys. Definitely check them out.

Meh, I wasn't impressed with TECLA. Checked her out cause of the RIYL...

Yeah Goodtime Boys and Barrow are great. The dude from Barrow screamed on an Iselia track which is really cool.

Was wondering if you could do a review of Seeking Empire's new EP. The band was started by Paul Thomas from Good Charlotte who writes the music and plays bass- fronted by Nikki Alcaro. Right now they're locally known in Cali. The EP is available for free download on www.facebook.com/seekingempire

looking forward to listen to Barrow.

:\

My EP's RIYL didn't get posted, so I'm going to say that this release is ok if you are into Danzig-era Misfits lyrics over acoustic Lookout! style poppunk. At least that is how it sounds to me.
Hope you like it!

Maidens. Definitely check them out.

Please review the Lagwagon reissue boxset :)

Thanks
