Lee Ranaldo – Between The Times And The Tides – Download (2012)
very accessible
Various – leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but photographs – 7″ (2011)
does the job as a first instalment
My Fiction – I Want Nothing – 10″ (2011)
falls a bit flat to these ears
Weak Teeth – What A Plague You Are – CD (2011)
This record didn't really make sense to me the first five or so listens
Watcher – Between Signs and Suns – 7″ (2012)
this brings the rawness
Football, etc. – Square Business – split – Tape (2012)
there's no business like square business
State Lines – s/t – 7″ (2012)
pop punk with a bit of a 90s influence
Haraball – Frowns vs Downs – 7″ (2012)
Even in 2012 you can hardly do wrong with tight and catchy 80s hardcore when it is played this well.
Pacer – Making Plans – Download (2012)
I don't expect to hear many better pop punk albums this year
