Single File
Single File Common Struggles [3.5/5]
There’s plenty to enjoy on Single File’s major-label debut, from crisp hooks with a bit of sheen to the Denver trio’s playful, sometimes-geeky attitude. The punchy power-pop recalls Ludo more than Fountains Of Wayne, though at times they descend into Dashboard Confessional melodrama (“Airports”) or lose the thread in...
The Shaking Hands
The Shaking Hands The Shaking Hands [3/5]
Though they call Gainesville, Florida, home, the Shaking Hands tip their musical hat toward California’s East Bay, particularly early Rancid. There’s a hefty hint of street punk, too, though the Hands have more melodic sense than most of the hollering football chants of that ilk. Their self-titled...
The Photo Atlas - To Silently Provoke The Ghost EP
The Photo Atlas To Silently Provoke The Ghost EP This Denver quartet pick up where their debut album, No, Not Me, Never, left off with their five-song follow-up EP, To Silently Provoke The Ghost. Enriching their poignant guitar melodies with convulsing beats, the Photo Atlas’ sound intersects somewhere on the post-punk and dance-rock axis. Alan...
Peelander-Z

On their fifth full-length, self-described “action comic punks” Peelander-Z put sanity in a headlock and work up enough spastic energy with their short blasts of...
MXPX
MXPX On The Cover II [4/5]
Pop-punk icons MxPx don’t need to reach outside their own creative world to make you feel nostalgic-they can simply reference themselves, as with On The Cover II, a guest-filled covers collection that follows 1995’s eponymous first volume, similar to New Found Glory’s recent From The Screen To Your...
Living With Lions
Living With Lions Dude Manor EP [3.5/5]
Having already pounded the shit out of the pavement from one end of Canada to the other, Vancouver’s Living With Lions are finally ready to unleash the fury south of the border thanks to the backing of Billie Joe Armstrong’s Adeline Records. The Green Day connection is...
