The Ridgelands are straight-up skate punk from Chicago, and Corey Webster Must Die!!! is their debut full-length (on the label set to release new Vindictives).
Hidden closer “Care of Me” is an odd duck, even on a political punk rock album littered with horns and strings and piano and driving anthems and group shouts.
Propagandhi get more metal as time goes on, but hey, extreme conditions demand extreme responses. The lean, thrash-y “Failed States” is a boot right to the jaw.
Celtic punkers Flatfoot 56 bring the bagpipes to your ears. If their driving, aggressive sounds are familiar, you may’ve heard their music in Sons of Anarchy.
Swedish punkers fresh off 20th anniversary shows and looking back on their career. The Melancholy Connection is a compilation of rare, unreleased tracks.
Epitaph vets Pennywise rock like they’ve got something to prove on All Or Nothing, their first album without founding singer Jim Lindberg in two decades.

New Found Glory thrives due to their heart-baring lyrics and the distinctive delivery of Jordan Pundik. Both are in full effect on “Anthem for the Unwanted.”
This Israeli quartet has sharpened their melodic punk into a razor’s edge after years of albums, EPs, and splits, resulting in the immaculate “Before It Kills.”
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes have never been afraid of being quirky, so it should be no surprise that they’ve put out an EP sung entirely in Japanese.
