Down – Conjure – Music Stream

January 11, 2013

Lotta killer riffs out there, with vocalists with wide ranges and power and insightful/mighty lyrics. Why do people skill gush about Down?

Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi, Embrace, Dischord Records, etc.) and former Warmers drummer Amy Farina. Still naturally catchy in that stripped-down way.

We Are The Union – I Want You To Hit Me As Hard As You Can – Music Stream

December 21, 2012

Horns and upstroked guitars scattered about, so anyone averse to such things, beware. Comparisons to mid-’90s pop punk is inevitable.
