Boy Problems


Boy Problems were another noodly, colorful screamo band out of Philly, but they are no less unique, if not more. Crafted from members of past and present bands such as Storm The BastilleBoys And SexCassilisSnowingMake MeHarrison BergeronStreet Smart CyclistThe Lady Is Not For Burning, and Shitty Knees, you should have clicked the download link by now. Boy Problems sufficiently began where Make Me left off. They've only released (as far as i know) a tour tape and a(n awesome) four way split with LautrecThe Reptilian, and Osceola. Download everything.

David Dondero/Mischief Brew "Two Boxcars" Split



I know I'm behind in the times and David Dondero has released A Pre-existing Condition and whatever but I recently came across this amazing split and can't stop listening to it. Seeing one of the two names on this should be enough to send you to your local internet search engine. It starts out with a man and his daughter's lifeless corpse in an ice cooler going to the Brownsville Assembly in search of false hope in Dondero's "The Brownsville Revival", a slightly varied version from the "South Of The South" one with some added piano thing tracks or whatever.  Erik Petersen (Mischief Brew)'s two begin with a tired alternative to traditional bullshit folk-punk songs in which he emphasizes his hatred for these anti-war anthems. The second, "Goodbye Under God", is a response to the dated controversy of the "under god" line in the pledge. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love David Dondero and you should definitely go out and buy his shit but I just think that this is the best thing I've heard from Mischief Brew yet.

Boyfriends.

I believe these guys are like a stripped down version of 1994! or something, and thats pretty much exactly how they sound. I can't stop listening to the first track on their demo, "people stuff", this shits great. Imagine the above picture over simple but catchy guitars. They have a self titled 7" ep available in TWO different translucent colors, a split with another good old fashion band you might not want people to see in your search bar, Boys & Sex, and two demos out. You can buy their shit on their website or download it on their bandcamp via scrolling down, so get on that shit!

Storm The Bastille


This band is fucking awesome. They deserve a better description than this but whatever no one reads this shit anyway. Heavy shit, but still melodic and interesting as fuck. I can't even think of other bands to compare them to. The drumming is amazing, ridiculous fills and perfectly timed everything, this shit will get you off your ass. The guitars are almost terrifying, along with the screamed vocals and faint water-droplet sounds in "Lronhubbard", you'd think someone was be tortured in a basement. You can download all their shit on their website, definitely worth it. Personal favorites include Dismantled, In First Person split LP, and Cassilis split tape, but get it all.

They have up for download

Snowing - I Could Do Whatever I Wanted If I Wanted NEW LP


I couldn't contain my excitement when i found out about this new LP from Lehigh Valley mother fuckers, ex Street Smart CyclistsSnowing. If you haven't already heard their demo Fuck Your Emotional Bullshit, get out from under your rock and scroll down. "Twinkly" guitars, up beat-ish vocals, basically imagine Street Smart Cyclist fucking Algernon Cadwallader. Also have a happy Valentines Day, though if you're reading this or listen to Snowing you most likely won't and it's probably not even Valentines Day anymore.

I Could Do Whatever I Wanted If I Wanted
You can pre-order/buy the nice vinyl cool guys version here
Or you can download it for free here




Fuck Your Emotional Bullshit
If you have a job/money you can pick it up here for cheap along with two other albums

Harrison Bergeron


Loud hardcore from Bethlehem in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, Harrison Bergeron might sound familiar to you. Not surprising, considering members of this distinct band played in Lehigh legends such as Street Smart CyclistStorm The Bastille, and Boy Problems, and toured with Make Me in spring '06. The reasons not to download band this are nonexistent. Intense drumming, fast strumming, screamed and semi-spoken vocals, darkness will wash over you. There is supposedly a post humorous release coming out on Playground Politics, though I'm not sure if its out yet. So until then (or now) this should be more than sufficient.
