This week I have been mostly listening to/getting excited about:

ADD/C
Broadway Calls
Banner Pilot
Cheap Girls

how about you?

The vast majority of bands I'm listening to at the minute are Fest related and will probably continue to be until the big weekend.
This week:

Off With Their Heads - From the Bottom
Banner Pilot - Resignation Day
Paint it Black - Paradise
Bridge and Tunnel - East/West

also a lot of Defiance, 'we're not playing Fest this year' Ohio.

Totally, how awesome is this record? Seriously, it's grown on me like crazy.. right now i'd rate it higher than the new OWTH. A vinyl version needs to happen STAT!

I recently emptied my iPod and reloaded it almost exclusively with Fest-related bands, walking to and from work's become the highlight of my day.

No really!
It's amazing isn't it. Must say that at the minute tho OWTH - From the Bottom is just blowing me away. It's a bit too relatable at the minute (in a bad way).
I'm with you on the to/from work ipod. I find myself actively slowing down on my bike to make sure I catch the end of whatever song I'm listening to and then being a bit gutted when I get in.....until the stereo comes on.

Stereo? lucky!

Yeah, 'From The Bottom' lyrically is fantastic, and un-nervingly relatable at the same time. 'Resignation Day' is the exact right length for my walk to work, door to door as well.. It was meant to be!

Restless rubes by ninja gun rules. it blew me away. I also really like the new OWTH, and i'm still really digging the latest from tim version and drag the river. Oh and the ergs just broke up for real this time it seems.
