hungoverween


Alright since Dave keeps crying all over my facebook wall about a lack of posts, instead of taking a nap I'm going to put up a record I was really into over the summer. I've recently realized it's a lot more of a fall album, so here you go.


This band is one of Danny Vapid's (Screeching Weasel, Methadones) side projects. It was probably the least poppy of the bands he's associated with, but still falls under the pop punk umbrella. If I were a aspiring, pretentious music writer I'd describe it as "post-pop punk." It's definitely a record pop punk nerds like myself will appreciate, although I'd advise our increasing number of fans who prefer Jenny Lewis and Bloc Party to not waste the bandwidth. All. the. small. things. brah.

Tilly and the Wall- Woo!

I first downloaded this just so i could put a song from it on a mixtape for a girl but ended up liking it a lot more than what I would admit to anyone in real life. It took me forever to find this, so I figured I would upload it here. This is the first ever release from Tilly and the wall, and it was self released and recorded in Conor Oberst's garage in 2003. You can hear him throughout the EP giving cues and making counts in the background. I love the way that this EP sounds, extremely raw and still pretty. I've never really heard any of their other releases, so im not sure if they've re recorded any of these songs. Either way, its definitely worth the download if this is your sort of thing. PS- They have a tapdancer instead of a drummer and it fucking rules.

Tigers Jaw- Tigers Jaw


I saw this band in a basement over the summer and they blew me away. So much that I ended up buying their tour ep, which ended up not working anyway. Punk rock. This band is from Scranton, Pennsylvania and plays a bunch of shows around the PA area, so definitely check them out..you wont be let down. The guitars on this album sound really poppy and fast which goes very well underneath the unique sounding vocals. I really dont know who to compare this band to at all..it basically sounds like a miserable pop punk band with not so miserable music underneath it.
