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.

Jenny Lewis/Whispertown 2000 Split

(picture borrowed from here)

I was trying to find this record and failed so I figured I may as well upload it in the hopes someone else was looking for a copy and failed and wants the mp3s, and actually reads this blog, despite the fear of getting a note from Conor Oberst or whoever runs Team Love Records now, and the fact that no one reads this blog. And I know this is supposed to be an emo/screamo hardcore whatever blog but I can't seem to find this on any other blog (hopefully its not cause it got taken down) so here it is. Its a fuckin awesome record and definitely worth the download. Two great songs from Jenny Lewis and LA indie-folkers Whispertown 2000. I don't think Jenny Lewis' "Paradise" can be found anywhere else than this amazing gem and Whisptertown's "Hometown" can be heard on their newish Done With Love ep.

Laurel


Baltimore area emo-ey dudes Laurel definitely got me at first listen. Sorta like fuzzier Algernon Cadwallader and this shits fuckin catchy. If your into poppy emo shit from Baltimore and Lehigh Valley and shit than this is for you (though you prolly already know from the first sentence of this post). I think they're broken up now but they have a split with fellow Baltimorians Let's and two demos, though i tend to favor their split tracks. Get on that shit.
