Black Love - Black Love




Black Love is a band from Montreal. They play a neat sort of post-hardcore music, with some cool guitar leads that you don't usually hear in this kind of music but some screamo influences as well. Really cool!




Two Hand Fools - Who's Driving?


Two Hand Fools is a band from Cleveland, playing an awesome pop-punk with a touch of folk-punk sound.

Their bandcamp doesnt have this album streaming, so the bandcamp preview below and the download above don't match. That's okay though because they are both awesome.

Bag of Bones - Deep Thought


Bag of Bones is John Molfetas, who is from New York and plays a really nice twinkly midwest style of emo. Kind of like a slightly more chilled out version of Dowsing.





Malon - Reverie (2012)



Malon is a really cool twinky emo/screamo band from San Diego. I imagine that people who enjoy that mix of styles like early The Saddest Landscape would likely enjoy this.
This album rules a lot so you should listen to it.

This is becoming increasingly difficult as I am plagued at every turn by people who report as DMCA violations works which I have permission from the author to host.

EDIT: So over the next some time period I will be reuploading the majority of these files to different filehosts. Stay tuned.

Also I will continue to do what i do.

Keep Plan-It-X Alive!





http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/942533263/keep-plan-it-x-records-alive-and-get-cool-stuff


"PIX has been around for almost 20 years and I would like to keep it going, but don't really sell enough records to keep releasing what I want. I think about quitting everyday. But, I don't want to. So I figured that I would give it one last shot. I'm gonna keep putting out records this year and try my best to make it to our 20 year anniversary in 2014... accompanied by a PIX-FEST!!!"
If you read my blog with any regularity you should know I have been a huge Plan-It-X fan for years. They are (or have been in the past) the label for a ton of the best punk/folk-punk bands. Bands like:

Andrew Jackson Jihad
Defiance, Ohio
Erin Tobey
Ghost Mice
One Reason
Paul Baribeau
Punkin Pie
Ramshackle Glory
Rosa
This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb

A ton of my favourite and most influential bands came from Plan-It-X and I'm betting if you cats read my blog you probably like Plan-It-X even if you didn't know it.

So support Plan-It-X and all their awesome bands with this kickstarter! You'll get free stuff and keep the best DIY punk label alive.

Uncle Sinner - Ballads and Mental Breakdowns


Uncle Sinner is a figment of his own imagination. He holds several degrees in psychological vandalism and enjoys hollering, guitars, banjos, mandolins, and rage.

Amazing 'death-country' from Winnipeg. Chain gang blues/gospel/murder ballads.



HṚṢṬA - Stem Stem In Electro

HṚṢṬA is (was?) a band signed to Constellation Records. Bandleader Mike Moya (also of GY!BE and Esmerine) does his own variation of the aesthetic of Constellation Records. This whole album is really good, Swallow's Tail is EXTRA GOOD!!

Post Teens - The Heat


Post Teens are a band from Gainesville. They play an awesome catchy, noisy, garage-punk thing. Short, fast songs. In fact, it is six songs in six minutes.

2nd St. Rag Stompers - Camping On Low Or No Dollars


The 2nd St. Rag Stompers were a old-timey hobo-ragtime-blues-jug band type of band. They broke up a few years back. This album is neat, it's kind of like an old-timeyer Split Lip Rayfield kind of sound.
