Nick Stutsman - Home Now

http://www.mediafire.com/?f62c54r6006ng91

Nick Stutsman from Sturgis, MI is a songwriter also known for being in bands Midwest Pen Pals, Park Jefferson, and Merchant Ships. This is a super cool, sad EP. I've been listening to Park Jefferson a lot this week, so this was an awesome find. Just fantastic songwriting all the way through.

Back to Odd - Homemade Demos

http://www.mediafire.com/?ge4y4kc7ov3vr3t

I received an email from Carlos, of Brazilian melodic hardcore band Back To Odd, asking me to check out his band. I am glad he did because this album is really pretty cool! Some rough punk rock. I love the sound of this demo.

Traveler - Nothing Lasts Long Enough (2012)

http://www.mediafire.com/?ylxjax2jyx0t4kc

I got two emails from members of this band within 5 days of each other! Thanks Justin and Nick.

Traveler is a melodic hardcore band from Cleveland. The music they play is stylistically similar to some of the other melodic hardcore i have posted in the past (Defeater, Ages, Almost Home, Rescuer), which are all great bands. Traveler is no exception to this pattern. This is a great EP, if a little too short. I look forward to future releases from these guys.

I am having some technical difficulties with OpenDrive right now but the songs are available for streaming and free download (and purchase) at Bandcamp below.
