De Heideroosjes, nations afire, propagandhi and since I've gotta throw in some UK stuff you could try 4ft Fingers they might be a bit poppy for you though.

Formerly broken up Good Riddance is back to doing some shows and recorded a new album that's coming out this month. A couple new tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4262x5zf5AE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n20A_xWskDw Millencolin is in a similar boat with a new album for the first time in several years coming this month, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0InNoCjry7k Between these and the new Lagwagon earlier this year, I'm loving this resurgence of a bunch of my favorites from way back. The late 90s were amazing. Merauder fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Apr 13, 2015 |

Yeah I mean Heratys was certainly one of my main reasons for going but it was still awesome nonetheless. Highlights being: Aggression Pact, Career Suicide, Government Warning (twice), Night Fever, Vaaska, and some others that my burnt out brain is just forgetting.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CwICLInIl8A First studio track from brand news up coming album. Sounds like a mix of vices and your favorite weapon. And its really really good which is surprising because those albums really really weren't.

Hahaha the album did grow on me but it took a long long time and I would never start with it when trying to sell the band to other people. Soco and 7x7 were the only tracks where my initial impression wasn't a desire to immediately hit skip.

I think their last album was ferocious but this song is kinda bland and doesn't really feel like it's doing anything new. I feel like I've heard it before, even though I haven't, if that makes sense.

I saw them at Bled Fest last year and it was just alright, but the vibe is always different when you're bouncing between 25-minute performances than at a band's own show. I do get "The Obituaries" stuck in my head every other day or so.

Daisy on the other hand is great except for Bed and In a jar in my opinion. You Stole slowly became one of my favorite Brand New tracks. New song is alright...nothing earth shattering, but its nice to know that they are doing stuff. I think the whole album will just drop digitally one random day this year.

I only finally dipped into this thread recently and haven't read too far back, but I'm surprised that no one else made it to Total Punk Total Fuckoff Weekend II in Orlando the other week. The lineup was bananas for $30, and I used to live there so I crashed with friends for the sum total cost of buying them breakfast and some records, plus cheap airfare with Spirit. Here's a scattered collection of thoughts and impressions. Friday preshow was Uniform from Atlanta and Nervous Ticks from Richmond. I didn't make this show - my flight didn't land until it was halfway over. Friday night show: False Punk - good, a little thrashy, vocalist was dynamic and energetic Wymyns Prysyn - these guys are great, I've listened to them off and on for years, first time seeing them live. Played hard. Manatees - they were alright. Didn't really have enough energy to hold up to the first two bands or enough quirk to hold up to Gary Wrong. Gary Wrong Group - Gary Wrong albums are super layered and freaky. Sometimes he plays freaky live music, sometimes he plays it as uptempo punk. This was an uptempo punk set. Kind of a let down. On the plus side, Gary Wrong is a wild card and the collapsing mic stand pissed him off enough that he kicked it into the audience. Throw in some fuckups by the bassist on top of that and he wound up launching his guitar at the wall, breaking it into two or three pieces. He was in a good mood at the end of the night, said he'd repair it before and he'd repair it again - apparently it's the last Gibson Kalamazoo off the assembly line or some such. Action Swingers - slayed. Abe from Manatees was too hammered to play second guitar to Ned at this point, but had the presence of mind to mute his guitar and just come in during the solos. Ned still had it, and the songs are classics. Friday night afterparty was Tight Genes (Orlando) and Giorgio Murderer (New Orleans). I spent more time drinking in the parking lot than watching these sets. I went inside for a little while, it was friggin' bananas. Saturday day show: Nuka Waves - missed 'em. Heavy Lids - Fun Spits-style punchy rocknroll. I would party to this soundtrack. Slugga - straight ahead hardcore, decent. Vatican Dagger - some more basic hardcore, but I liked it more than Slugga. The singer just stalked from side to side, but I liked the overall songcraft. Black Panties - extremely my poo poo. A little hometown pride for this St Louis area native, but this just represents everything I like about Midwestern punk DNA - hyperactive basslines, staccato guitar, and a particular type of demented front man. I would highly recommend seeing this band live. Predator - I expected more, wasn't really into it. Saturday evening show: Golden Pelicans - I love this band - they're basically Bon Scott-era AC/DC but with more punk swagger. I don't care for the specific timbre of Eric's voice, but he's a great frontman and he sprayed the audience with champagne as part of his birthday celebration. He loves casually swinging the microphone in big orbits during guitar solos, wound up hitting a dude in the head. Foster Care - Eh. The drummer seemed strung out. Other guys were good, but he held things back. Spray Paint - Yoooo this was extremely my poo poo. Sounded like Earth, but played at double speed without pitch shifting. A surprise at a punk festival, but enough of a freak vibe that they fit in. Wanted to buy their LP but I missed my chance. I would highly recommend seeing this band live. Achtungs - A group of young Finnish guys playing a tasty style of garagepunk that ranged from Bad Brains to The Animals. Their LP is great. Stupendous leads and a solid rhythm section. I would highly recommend seeing this band live. Buck Biloxi & the Fucks - Eh, the night was getting really interesting. Kinda ruined it with a band that sounds like The Queers. I've seen plenty of bands that sound like The Queers. Lumpy & the Dumpers - A super duper live set. Not as chaotic as the legendary footage of the New York's Alright set from last year, or some of the shows they've played in St. Louis and Springfield, IL, but one of the more aggressive sets at this particular weekend. No slime at this venue, but Lumpy slapped all the photogs with a sausage and the crowd did get pretty wild and partly naked. An Orlando dude operating as Tantrum Dan has great video of the whole fest, posted HERE Recently I managed to see Chicago locals MAMA (early KISS rock riffs punched up and punkified) for the second time and Muscles Plant (tough guy hardcore) for the first time. I would see both again. I finally saw NWI's darlings The Coneheads - and yes, they are that good. Definitely one of the best things happening in punk right now. Sheer Mag from Pennsylvania was also highly recommended - good posi vibes and some crunchy leads. I was into it. Other than that, I probably haven't seen a great show since Jolly Korea, Fake Limbs, Gnar Wave Rangers and Rad Payoff played a house show on a stray warm weekend in January or February. Chicago winter kept me chained to my Netflix account, but I'm definitely looking forward to lots of basement shows in the near future. The DIY scene here right now is on another level, it's a really special time and place.

Thanks for the info and the feedback. I'm as eclectic as any punk, although it does seem like I'm skewing in a slightly different direction than the thread. I'll skim the back posts and chime in every two or three weeks to talk about things that sound like Estrus Records or Not Normal Tapes or the Minutemen, and about good Midwestern DIY shows that I've seen recently.
