 | City On Film/Kind of Like Spitting split 7": City On Film is Bob Nanna (Braid frontman, ex Sky Corvair & Friction) playing a slow sad song (Portland Maine and the Pouring Rain). Kind of Like Spitting (from Oregon, ex Slotcar) offers two songs (There It Goes So It Goes, Free Advice) that are sure to make your heart hurt. (TEAM 00:02) |
 |
Speedwell - Pacifique 7" : The first release from this powerful emo quartet from VA. Loud and poppy...like karate meets the promise ring. They broke up for awhile, but now they are back together, thank heavens. (TEAM 00:01)
|
Compact Discs |
 | Christie Front Drive - s/t: The last release from the most beautiful band in the world. Powerful and very, very pretty. Members of Christie Front Drive later went on to form Blue Ontario and Antarctica. (Caulfield Records) |
 | Kind of Like Spitting - You Secretly Want Me Dead: The first full length from Ben, saddest kid in the world. This album is depressing, moody and wonderful...Remeniscent of Bedhead and Smog. Fifteen original songs and one Karate cover. (Jealous Butcher) |
|
Les Savy Fav - 3/5: Debut from these New York cranks. Clever lyrics, atonal guitars and a whole lot of energy help make this CD as great as it is. Sort of like a slower Nation of Ulysses. (Self Starter Foundation) |
|
Radiolaria - Fuzz is Verse: Pop hits a pleasant peak with alternating male and female vocals. This album instigates a tapping foot without sounding silly. Super-smooth and silky. (Twist Top) |
 |
Spy Versus Spy - s/t: Screamy but catchy emo from the UK. One of those bands that gives you hope that all is not lost for good music these days. Think Cap'n Jazz meets Braid meets Spirit Assembly. Or don't. (subjugation) |
LPs |
 |
Broken Hearts Are Blue - The Truth About Love: Poppy Indie Rock/Emo from former members of Ordination of Aaron. Cute and sincere, you feel sorry for these fellas because you know they mean it. (Caulfield) |
| Policy of 3 - Dead Dog Summer: The post punk superstars of Philadelphia. This album is agressive, intelligent and poltical. Members later went on to play in 400 Years. Comes with an 18-page zine/booklet full of essays and random thoughts.(Old Glory) |
7"s |
 |
Driver 11/Nooner split: Driver 11 is one of those bands that makes you realize that just when you thought music was going nowhere these days, you were wrong. Fast and punchy punk/emo, yet very original. Nooner...well, they're just...Nooner. (FOE) |
| Karate - Death Kit: The first release ever from Karate is back in print after all these years. Of course it's amazing. (Self Starter Foundation)
|
 | Policy of 3 - American Woodworking: Policy of 3 are the influential unsung heroes of the emo/post punk world. This 7" is Policy of 3 at their best, frustrated and smart. (Old Glory)
