ARRIVALS / BROKEDOWNS from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $3.00 Stevo sez: "3 new songs from both of these Chicagoland bands. The Arrivals have a new record on Recess called "Marvels of Industry" that I highly recommend. I’ll use the shallow plug of “Paddy from D4 is in this band now and on this record” for those of you who enjoy such things, because it’s in your best musical interest to buy this thing no matter what pretenses it’s under. The Brokedowns have no Paddy, but they do have a record on Thick called "New Brains for Everyone" - check it out!" |

BENT OUTTA SHAPE / SNUGGLE from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $2.75 The last three songs from Bent. Still pissed they broke up. Crucial drunks heavily influenced by TwinTone era Replacements. Snuggle are from Seattle and have received their PHD's from the East Bay school for Pop Punk. Way better than Crimpshrine. They wouldn't agree but it's hard for a student to admit he's better than his teacher some times. |

DRUNKEN BOAT "Drunken Boat" from Salinas/1-2-3-4-Go! BUY LP • $7.00 BUY CD • $7.00 Urgent, beautiful, rough around the edges, intelligent punk from Portland, OR. Possibly the best band of this style since Crimpshrine. Stream: "Keeponkeeponkeepon" MP3 |

FIFTH HOUR HERO / SAINTE CATHERINES from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $2.50 Two songs from each band! Comes in a stylish fold-out cover! |
|
|
FOUNDATION "Homecoming" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $2.75 Three tunes, with special guest Alison Mosshart(Discount/The Kills)! |
|
|
FUTURE VIRGINS / ONION FLAVORED RINGS from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $3.00 Two new songs each from two bands that put out criminally few records. If you like Crimpshrine, Allergic To Bullshit, Shotwell, Sexy, Jack Palance Band, ADD/C, Hidden Spots and Giant Bags of Weed...these guys do too. So much so that they were in those bands! Was that a clever way of saying "ex-members of"? No? Well I'll try harder next time! |

HICKEY "Hickey" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY CD • $7.00 Holy shit I re-released a Hickey record! Major accomplishment for me. The pinnacle of 90's SF Mission district punk. Noisy but melodic. Retarded but insanely intelligent. One of my very favorite bands ever. They're like the Radon of the Bay Area. Probably the best band to come out of the area ever but way underappreciated. This is their only proper full length. Originally on Probe Records. Download: "Believe" MP3 |

HOUSE ON FIRE from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $2.50 Sadly short lived project with Alex from Panthro UK, Todd from The Draft/Unitas, my buddy Jim and another cat whose name I can't remember right now on drums. Fucking amazing Gainesville hardcore. Better than Panthro in my opinion. I realize those are fighting words. Bring it! |

IN THE RED / GIT SOME from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $3.25 After a few years away, Mike Hale from Gunmoll is back in a full band and recording again. In The Red take up essentially where Gunmoll left off with Board of Rejection: extremely powerful Jawbreaker- by-way-of-Hot Water Music-style punk. Git Some on the other side consists of Neil and Chuck from Planes Mistaken For Stars, Lucious Fairchild of a hundred Denver bands and Andy Lindstrom. You ever see that picture of Van Halen hanging out with Black Sabbath? Well, replace Van Halen with Black Flag and have them all sitting on a mountain of weed, and you begin to get a rough idea of what Git Some are about. Two songs by each band, and cover art illustrated by Cristy Road! |

RINGERS "Curses" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY LP • $6.50 BUY CD • $6.50 The first Ringers album, finally released on vinyl in a version available to more than a handful of people in New England! Comes in a snazzy LP jacket, with an insert this time too. This band picks up where Sirens left off. Most of the reviews imply that it sounds like Tim Armstrong writing songs for Dillinger Four. That's a description that would make me buy this if I hadn't put it out but honestly I don't think it's accurate. I am literally the only person in the world who thinks so. People sort of snoozed on this until the '06 fest when they finally got to see them and were stoked as all get out. |

RINGERS "Detention Halls" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY CD • $6.50 Their 2nd full length! Well-written gritty pop punk for late night coffee shop romantics and anyone trying to figure what happened to their youth and where they're supposed to go from here. I think that just about covers everyone! This is also a band that gets "influences" right: influences are supposed to run in the background, providing some of the energy for what you're doing, not a playbook for your song writing. I hear hints of everything that made 90's East Bay pop punk great, a touch of '77, on occasion the drive of true post-hardcore and enough inspiration and originality to make it all into something different. Stream: "Nothing To Show" MP3 |

SIRENS "Long Distance Calling" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $2.75 This is one of the few times I've ever agreed with something written in Heartattack... "Sirens have two 7''s floating around right now and if you see either I suggest you get them. They play great, anthemic punk rock with a raw melodic edge. Featuring members of the Insurgent and Melee, Sirens will kick your ass with poignant songwriting and fun, poppy choruses. Seriously, I put their records on a mix tape and I find myself just rewinding the tape back to the start of the Sirens set over and over, neglecting the other stuff because the Sirens are fun to drive and sing along to. Fantastic. So, of course, they already broke up." |

SPITTING TEETH / 1-2-GO! CREW from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $2.75 Spitting Teeth's last recordings. Oldschool style hardcore/thrash on one side and hip hop versions of oldschool hardcore/thrash songs on the other. Best idea ever. Killer zombie cover art too. |

THE HORDE "Join or Die" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY CD • $2.75 8 originals and one Misfits cover that actually doesn't suck. This is way cheap because this band never played a show outside of Portland and I've got a bunch left. If you like hardcore with a hint of brutal rock'n'roll you need to get this. Similar to Suicide File but better than Modern Life is War. |

THE HORDE "The Horde" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $2.00 One of my favorite styles of hardcore. The rock'n'roll infused style. It's pissed and realizes you don't have to resort to metal to kick an ass or two. Limited to only a few copies. The most under appreciated 1-2-3-4 Go! release in my opinion. It's dirt cheap. If you like bands like Suicide File or maybe The Bronx you'll like this unless you have serious mental problems. My friend Aaron Edge is in this band. He was in Himsa and Harkonen a long time ago. He hates it when I tell people that but since this band never played shows outside of Portland he can suck it. |

WHISKEY SUNDAY "Maldecido CD" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY CD • $7.00 Dover makes Frankie Stubbs sound like a velvet throated crooner. It's tough, it's melodic, it's into science fiction and there's a duet with Annie from This Is My Fist on it. What more could you ask for? This record is a little less Naked Raygun-sounding than their debut but still amazing. My favorite band from San Jose. Download: "Wallchasers" MP3 |

WHISKEY SUNDAY "Maldecido EP" from 1-2-3-4-Go! BUY 7" • $2.50 4 song companion to the Maldecido full length. Three previously unreleased songs including an Animals cover and an alternate version of "Laughing Academies" featuring vocals from Annie from This Is My Fist and a sweet guitar solo that wasn't on the album version. |
