&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;“Cat in the wall, eh? Ok, now you’re talking my language.  I know this game”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;- Charlie from It&amp;#8217;s Always Sunny in Philadelphia &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Chuck Ragan - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gold Country&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Awesome raw alternative-country from the man who makes up 1/4 of Hot Water Music.  It really isn&amp;#8217;t possible for him to put out a bad record.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. Polar Bear Club - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chasing Hamburg&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Not as good as 2008&amp;#8217;s &lt;i&gt;Sometimes Things Just Disappear &lt;/i&gt;but a solid release.  If you like post-hardcore with some damn catchy melodies, this is for you.  Also, they had the best show at the Fest this year.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. Frank Turner - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Poetry of the Deed&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Another great alternative-country from England&amp;#8217;s Frank Turner.  Great production and stellar song writing.  No wonder this guy in getting so popular!&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. Dear Landlord - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dream Homes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Gruffy pop-punk at its best.  Can&amp;#8217;t go wrong with that.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. Strung Out - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Agents of the Underground&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;These guys have mastered the art of technical metal-punk.  Much better than &lt;i&gt;Blackhawks Over Los Angeles. &lt;/i&gt;Amazing drumming and blistering guitar rifts.  Strung Out doesn&amp;#8217;t disappoint.&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. Fake Problems - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;It&amp;#8217;s Great to be Alive&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Okay, okay, I am biased towards Florida bands but this was a great release and firmly cast them out of the shadow of a wannabe Against Me!.  Fun lyrics, tons of different instruments, and an amazing live show in Columbia, SC got me hooked on this album and I haven&amp;#8217;t stopped listening.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Brand New - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Daisy&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Amazing album.  Diverse songs, great production, mature lyrics, and some killer build ups.  I listened the hell out of this album when I first got it.  Probably my favorite release by them.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Lucero - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;1372 Overton Park&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;This is as good as modern &amp;#8220;classic&amp;#8221; rock gets. Mix of rock, indie, and a touch of punk.  It sounds like it could have been released in the &amp;#8216;70&amp;#8217;s.  It rocks hard and Ben Nichol&amp;#8217;s lyrics are descriptive and awesome.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Cobra Skulls - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;American Rubicon&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Fucking amazing punk album.  Stop whatever you are doing and go listen to it right now.  Tons of hooks, socio-political lyrics, and amazing bass lines.  The songs will get stuck in your head for days.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Propagandhi - &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Supporting Caste&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Pretty much as good as punk-thrash-metal gets.  AMAZING guitar work with so many layers you can get lost.  Chris Hannah&amp;#8217;s lyrics are intellectual, political, and insightful.  This release solidifies Propagandhi as one of my all time favorite bands.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://mikebrke.tumblr.com/post/318728548</link><guid>http://mikebrke.tumblr.com/post/318728548</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 Jan 2010 18:09:27 -0500</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
