Air Raid Barcelona - Air Raid Barcelona

 http://www.mediafire.com/?61y3yvansak8fbv

Air Raid Barcelona was a band, for a while. They recorded precisely 4 songs. This is a really fucking cool demo, it's too bad this is all there is. This EP is posted for free on IfYouMakeIt.
Kind of Latterman-ish or Jawbreaker-y.

Slow Teeth - Demos

 http://www.mediafire.com/?0ppc5pz9b44az6a

What a mystery this band is to me! I don't even remember how i found this band but all they have is a myspace, and two demos on archive.org. (This is the two demos).
The last.fm page is similarly bare, saying only "Slow Teeth sounds like vaudevillian anarchofolk, a haunted cabaret." Archive.org says they're from Portland. That's all I got.

They're kind of like Blackbird Raum or Dandelion Junk Queens. The songs are really catchy and great which is always a nice surprise when you basically find something on the back shelf of the internet with two years worth of dust on it.
'Dead Sailors' and 'Oh, Penny' are in particular very good songs.

Quick Attack - Quick Attack!

http://www.mediafire.com/?02qbppcyn4dq51n

So i got an email from a member of a band called Quick Attack (from Santa Barbara), offering me a copy of their CD(s). Her name is Indiana. She is super nice and awesome so that is even more reason to listen to this!

This is Quick Attack's self-titled, 5 songs of pure raditude. Pop-punk, sounds kinda like Punkin Pie. You know like high-energy, super fun messy pop-punk. The best kind. I think 'Sevies' and 'Thunderheads' are my favourite songs. They also have a recent split that i am linking to below. Check it out!

The Wild - Set Ourselves Free

http://www.mediafire.com/?bo9zz45wg49oyh5

The Wild is a band from Atlanta. They're a folk-punk band is vageuly the same ballpark as Rosa. Tremendous, start to finish. If you're here, chances are you'll like this.

Seriously, EVERY PERSON WHO IS READING THIS should listen to this album. Look at that cover! The songs are even better than that!

Eskalators - Never Break Down

http://www.mediafire.com/?ta1m3c6y4awtr1l

Apparently Eskalators is some kind of 13-plus-person musical collective from Brooklyn. Also apparently, they self-identify as "ironic bubblegum ska". Firstly, i fucking hate ska, and i really dont see this as ska at all. Unless you say any band with horns is ska. Which doesnt make sense. 

Honestly this EP sounds like a pop-punk version of Andrew Jackson Jihad with a lot more people made 4 awesome songs and then some weird momentarily reggaeish song at the end.

I don't even know whats going on anymore everything i say is just words

Mesita - Cherry Blossoms (2008)

 http://www.mediafire.com/?wyuuc8ltvjn71lr

Mesita is a fella from Littleton, Colorado. As is sometimes the case, I haven't been able to find a great deal of information here. This a very cool album... multi-instrumental, indie-electronic type stuff. Reminds me kind of like Adrian Orange or Okay. Very good album! He also has a new album available for purchase/streaming at http://mesita.bandcamp.com/



i don't know what genre tag to give this

Cassis Orange - Cassis Orange

 http://www.mediafire.com/?uf7wzauzx955bo8

Okay so i think this EP is really rad. It's kind of Casiotoneforthepainfullyalone-ish, if you're into that. Basically i guess what im saying is that it has piano and electronic drums. Neat!
'Kotzebue' is particular is a really awesome song and my personal favourite, but the whole EP is definitely worth listening to because it is really good.

Sloppy Folk - Experience SA-Folk-Punk

 http://www.mediafire.com/?6h1c424ployudr4

A mystery reader/band member whose email name is "Dust Man" sent me this album of his folk-punk band from South Africa. It's 22 songs, including a great Crass cover and a great Wingnut Dishwashers Union cover. It's a really awesome album, with some shouty songs and some slower songs, and both punk and classic folk influence. Everything you could want in a folk-punk album. You will NOT be disappointed.

Midi & The Modern Dance is a band from Connecticut. This album quite reminds me of Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. And i love YHF, so i also super dig this album. One of my readers actually sent me a link to this band ages ago, i just never got around to posting it. So do yourself a favour and check this out.

...who calls so loud - self titled

http://www.mediafire.com/?3f5z6or1dqodxre

"Thus they continued to ask each other who called so loud, over and over again; and when Smike had that by heart, Nicholas went to another sentence, and then to two at a time, and then to three, and so on, until at midnight poor Smike found to his unspeakable joy that he really began to remember something about the text."

This album and band are super fucking rad. Ex-members of Funeral Diner and Portraits of Past. So you already know itll be awesome.
