I recently reviewed and loved Dandelion Snow’s latest album, The Grand Scheme of Things. It’s a real gem and listeners would be advised to check it out. But he has another release out there as well. It’s called It’s Just A Bad Dream, and it came out in late 2009. It too is gold. Granted, Roger Harvey doesn’t have as much experience behind his older offering, but it’s just as passionate and well written. The label has it up over on their website and released it as a free download at the time of release. It’s still up, so get grabbing!

I think this is the first classic piece of punk on this blog as of now, and I couldn’t think of a better piece to kick off with. Seamen existed in the 90′s around the Vancouver punk scene and apparently put out a little gem by the name of Liquor Face. It’s fast, sloppy, surprisingly well mastered, and embodies everything Vancovuer’s hardcore scene stood for in the 90′s.

So yeah, the name of this band is rather juvenile, and truthfully, so is the content. It is however, pretty solid melodic pop punk with a great sloppy conclusion. Mr. Boner was kind enough to email me a link to his album, Not Quite Famous Yet. The first time I tried downloading the album from mediafire I was bombarded with some rather explicit ads on the website, so I said I couldn’t really post the link on here in good taste. Thankfully Billy has uploaded the tracks to a couple other file sharing websites, so here they are, all the way from Norway!

Rentokill has to be my favourite Italian punk band. In a region more known for hardcore than pure punk, Rentokill has found a fantastic middle ground. They made a formal North American debut last year on Stomp Records, but their story didn’t start there. Back in 2004 Rentokill released Back To Convenience over in Australia of all places. The album was such a hit that a year later Engineer Records picked it up for a state-side re-issue. And now the band has upped the album for all over on Last.fm, and it’s a must grab.

The UK’s Bangers play a rough and rough brand of punk rock sure to appeal to fans of old school punk. If you like bands like The Cobra Skulls and The Lawrence Arms, then this is for you. There are no frills here, just good old head banging fun. The album just came out, and is available on their bandcamp for a pay-what-you-want price (and yes, nothing is an option).

ifyoumakeit recently released The State Lottery’s sophomore full length, When The Night Comes. That the band is willing to put something this good up for donation completely baffles. The album is nine tracks of a fantastic street punk meets pop punk fusion sure to please fans of rough punk acts like The Lawrence Arms. I can’t recommend it enough.

Woah, what an inspired album name, it really gets to the point. Thankfully though, if you like harder mainstream punk rock, then all seven songs on the Californian five piece’s debut deserve being mentioned in the title. Anyway, its only fitting that an album title that simple should have minimal accompanying commentary, so that’s it for me, download away!
