Run Forever - The Devil and Death and Me

Close friends of mine that have been moving around between Erie and Pittsburgh making folk indie punk (or cow punk as a fan once described it) influenced from life experiences, the death of a dear friend, being on the road, searching for answers, etc. Run Forever consists of shaky emotion filled vocals, drum beats that make you want to tap along, folky bass riffs, and the occasional sing along. This album deals with some rather heavy subjects, but they're in the making of a new happier, almost catchier, youth revival kind of thing that I'm anxious to hear. I've been on the road with them before and tagged along at shows, and I recommend taking a gander if they roll up into your town someday soon and they'll be stuck in your head.

Crywank - James Is Going To Die Soon

Described as "folk-punk influenced acoustic music." It's pretty, chill, and easy on the ears. This artist has improved immensely since his last release.

A Voice Like Rhetoric - Ethos

Requested. "Described as technical/ post hardcore/ math rock. With such influences as; At The Drive In, Botch, Cursive, Faraquet, Minus The Bear, and Q And Not U."
"Mix of technical and harmonizing guitar work, fast tempoed percussion, granular bass tone, and sing-screamy vocals."
Sums it up better than I could. I remember seeing them in their early days when I was lame and being impressed by them even. They have only progressed exponentially since then.

Science Fair - Get Real/Get Dead

This is a friend of mine's band, the aftermath of christopherwalken, of Philly PA. Indie/emo, not as poppy as Audio Recording Club, but not as twinkly as Oatmeal. Read in between the lines and wah-lah! Winter 2008 is a definitely stand out track.

Grown Ups - Songs and More Songs

Everyone already has this up, but I cannot stop listening to it, so I figured I'd put it up as well. It was slow to grow on me at first, but you need to fucking get this. They redid everything on Songs, so you might as well just get More Songs, though I sort of liked the roughness of the older stuff on certain songs. Six More Weeks Of Winter is my favorite, reminds me of Brand New's earliest shit.Songs
