Tucson rules

"A split release between two strapping young hardcore bands from Tucson. Fake Out plays fast pissed-off hardcore and has members from Alarm, Line of Fire, and Some Nerve. The Female Snake side is equally as angry, with a slightly more power-violence style approach."

Seriously, though. Buy this. It's limited as fuck and each cover is silkscreened. So fly.

Alarm
Dark Age

Yeah you speak so soft, and I'm tryin' to understand you.

Teenage Cool Kids are another awesome band from Denton, TX. I bought their first release, a cassette, entitled "Things That I Can't Say" from them and immediately fell in love with their sound. This is what DIY sounds like. They record everything analog at home and have friends release their stuff. Not unlike most awesome DIY bands, their releases are rare and mostly on much sweeter formats like cassette and vinyl. Anyways, here's their most recent release, "Remember Me As A Silhouette." It's fun, sloppy, raw, emotional, silly, it will make you want to dance and make you want to lay around on a rainy day. You're in for a treat. Oh yeah, and with comparisons to Dinosaur Jr. and Superchunk, how can you lose?

New City Is The Tower hotness

They just posted a demo track that one of our contributors, the lovely Mr. Dave Jordan, recorded in a garage. How DIY. Go check it out on their Myspace.

"What's this place? A home in which I'm foreign. (An uncanny) insinuation of memories, but none of which I can remember so I fake a smile and just fade out. This was my life, but this isn't who I am anymore. I'm alright. Things can change."

If you weren't at their show last week, you missed out. They played an incredible set. Most fun I've had at an Albuquerque show in a good while.
