Shook is pretty good, not overtly fond of the harshness in the vocals though.

Please check out our sampler via that Continent Records link, its full of a variety of music, from pop punk, thrash, post-rock, dub and indie tracks from bands in the area where I live in!

Seconded. Definitely on the RIYL:b&c for the music though .

Jordan Renshaw is well-worth everybody's time.

please take the time to listen to my band Backyard Heroes and our new single "On and On!" I'll love you forever

Young Alive sounds pretty much exactly like Akissforjersey. Which isn't a bad thing.

EDIT: The more I listen I hear a lot of Emery.

i really like shook. great EP guys

Solomon Grundy is great

Galleries is pretty good.

On first impression I like Jordan Renshaw's stuff the most. The duet on the second track is crazy lovely.

Thrift Store Talent is also oddly compelling. The Right Away, Great Captain RIYL is unsettlingly accurate - I'm not convinced this isn't yet another Andy Hull project in disguise, haha.

That City Voices band is pretty good..

Really digging the City Voices song.. Hard to hear it though due to lots of background noise..

Unsettlingly accurate indeed. Really sounds like him in the first song "epiphanies from the cove" too.
