#5. Strike Anywhere- Iron Front
After the mediocre effort of their last release Dead FM, STRIKE ANYWHERE has move on from FatWreckChords to full-fledge hardcore indie Bridge Nine Records.
This new release finds Thomas Barnett & Co combining their trademark socio-political insight with their most infectious hooks yet...'The Crossing' and 'Summerpunks' are goat-damned awesome songs that would bleed the ear
Sincerely i was quite suprised with this release, considering the dud previous effort of over-produced 'Bright Lights of America' (not their fault really, maybe major label RCA try to sell 'em out)
Now at SideOneDummy, ANTI-FLAG has written their best record since 2001's 'Underground Network' for my money... "Sodom, Gomorrah, Washington D.C. (Sheep in Shepherd's Clothing)" ,"The Gre(A)t Depression" and "You're Fired" are gritty, furious, and poppy (in the good way) punkrock tunes
Best described by FatWreck on their website:
"The most rocking thing to come out of Wyoming since, well… ever, TEENAGE BOTTLEROCKET has taken pleasure in showing everyone just how potent and exhilarating that fresh, gimmick-free punk rock can be. The release of their third full-length, They Came From the Shadows, marks their first FatWreckChords release, and easily their most anticipated offering to date. Comprised of 14 straight forward punk rock gems, laced with the unforgettable melodies that have become the calling card of TBR"
where i am concerned, this is the pop-punk album of the year!
#2. Propagandhi- Supporting Caste
What more i could say about PROPAGANDHI? the Canucks are among the biggest institution in punkrock since i'm in high skool, and i always respected their views and activsm in anarchist causes, human rights violation. animal liberation etc
With 'Supporting Caste', Chris Hannah & Co has created a hugely significant full-length from a band that have proven, yet again, that they are still the crème de la crème of punkrock, with their usual brash of punk/hardcore/progressive trash all moulded into one...definititely a welcome addition to their already super-impressive discography
The mainstay of my Ipod, both in good and bad times, Shook Ones's The Unquotable A.M.H is the numero uno of 2009 for me
Yes, the comparison with the legendary Kid Dynamite and Lifetime is inevitable, but on this particular full-length the five-piece from Seattle has created their own brand of melodic hardcore: 11 catchy, infectious, bouncy, anthemic musical and vocal assault. "For Collards", "Birds On Ice", "Silverfish" and "For Flannel" are among my favourite songs of the year.
Shook deserve respect and recognition, and i look forward for their future release, and certainly wouldn't mind slamming into their moshpit, maybe one day Honourable Mentions (in no particular order)
#3. Paint It Black- Surrender :The opener "Sacred" is contender for song of the year. A total of 4 Songs in 7 minutes...nuff said
#2. A Wilhelm Scream- A Wilhelm Scream :These guys cant do no wrong. The most technical band in punkrock since Propagandhi. Their first 12 inch after a trio of epic releases in Mute Print, Ruiner and last year's Career Suicide
#1. The Lawrence Arms- Buttsweat and Tears :since the EP was released last October and i cant stop listening to it. Brendan Kelly & co sure knows how to rock, their songwriting putting them head above the rest of the punkrock bandwagon.
Arguably the best band Chicago has ever produced? (eat your hearts out Alkaline Trio!)
i gotta dig their old catalog

my top pick of 2007
I wish I was dead sometimes. so my parents wont have to worry about what I'm going to do with my life or them having to look after me until I'm married off and shipped somewhere they can never reach, or having to put up with my disgraceful shenanigans. they would no longer have to be embarrassed by being asked the question " what is your daughter doing now?". My brother can get my camera and my sister can have all my bags, bracelets and make up ( I cant say clothes because my clothes arent that nice ). I'd make prints of my favourite photographs and sell them, every single sent to charity. I'd donate any organs needed and even my ( lacklustre, omgaswh) hair.
I dont think I have to wish it, since A levels would be the death of me.
I'm not being emotional, I just always feel shattered when I'm reminded of how much of a burden I am to my folks, and how all of us
siblings are somewhat disappointments. None of us earn 10k a month, we dont
have the nice cars , we dont score the earth-shattering grades. If me
not being around would make my folks' life easier, I'd do it in a
heartbeat. I probably wouldnt have raced so hard to reach that darn
ovum if I knew my existence was nothing but an accident that's become
an annoying splinter burried deep in my parents' skin
First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!
The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.
A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.
Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.
On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.
And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!
