Shirts from Matthew is so great. Esp. the song "Ava-Mae"

Really liking Shy Technology

I'd appreciate any feedback on the Atlas Hands - EP and check out the Worn Colors song, it's just a demo but those dudes are doing big things.

I Hate Our Freedom is awesome.

That's awesome to hear. I recorded this album and play bass, keys and trumpet on it as well.

Great week, I grabbed a bunch of stuff today.

It's so rad that AP.net does stuff like this. I have to agree about Shy Technology -- pretty fucking sick! Any feedback on lightfields is much appreciated. I was terrified when I submitted our EP, now I'm anxious to hear what people think.

Woooo Titanics is awesome. Didn't know this was coming.

Feedback on our comp would be appreciated!

Shy Technology is dope as hell. Their album is like what I imagine We Were Promised Jetpacks would sound like if they made a grunge-influenced record.

if any of you musicians want to be on a HUGE online compilation featuring 500 unsigned U.S. bands that i am putting together, you should submit a track! all the info is here.

Shy Technology is pretty sweet, another RIYL for them would be The Front Bottoms. Also everyone should scoop up Mercies, I've had that album for about a year, really amazing indie stuff.

I'd love to hear what people think of the Worn Colors song, and check out the Atlas Hands EP. I've known that dude for a while and I think those are two of the best songs he's written
