Underdog - Live from Asbury Lanes 7"
Underdog's Myspace
Underdog were a New York hardcore band with a penchant for throwing dub and reggae into the mix, much like Bad Brains. They re-released their discography last month and they have a few shows coming up, so hopefully this will all lead to a full blown reunion.
Here's them playing live at Asbury Lanes, a bowling alley/venue in New Jersey.
Apocalypse Meow/Rational Anthem - Split 7"
Apocalypse Meow's Myspace
Rational Anthem's Myspace
Here's another split 7".
Rational Anthem has been getting a lot of buzz of the "they sound like Dillinger Four" variety. I don't really see the similarities between the two (and you know how much I love comparing bands to D4) but they're still alright by me.
Apocalypse Meow are probably best known for their split with Andrew Jackson Jihad. I don't know all that much about them, but by combining two of my favorite things (pop punk and kitties), they've secured a special place in my heart. Oh, and did I mention that they're catchy as all hell?
Check back soon if you like this, since I'll probably post more from both bands in the near future.
The Brokedowns - Six Songs EP
The Brokedowns' Myspace
The Brokedowns are a four piece punk band from Illinois who've been around for about eight years now, fine tuning their mix of hardcore, pop punk and wry lyrics with each release. Here's their Six Songs EP which should give you a good idea as to what these guys are about.
The Suicide File - Live on WERS 7"
The Suicide File's Myspace
The Suicide File were a hardcore supergroup from Boston featuring members of The Hope Conspiracy, Give Up The Ghost, and Death by Stereo, amongst others.
This is them playing live on WERS, a radio station that broadcasts out of Emerson College, circa 2004. Think four of hardcore's finest musicians venting their political angst and anger at full blast in a cramped room, then tack on a four minute interview at the end.
That's this album.
Cleveland Bound Death Sentence's Myspace
Cleveland Bound Death Sentence is a "supergroup" featuring Paddy from Dillinger Four, Aaron Cometbus (of Cometbus, Crimpshrine Pinhead Gunpowder, etc, etc, etc), plus Spitball and Emily. They play unpolished and raw but vaguely upbeat punk similar to bands like Dillinger Four (duh), Crimpshrine (double duh), Toys That Kill, and This Is My Fist!. Here's both The Gateway Handshake 7", which is a re-post, and their self titled album, which I just uploaded.
Self-Titled

Enjoy.

Dillinger Four/Pinhead Gunpowder Split 7"
Dear Landlord/Off With Their Heads [Split 7"]
Dear Landlord's Myspace
Off With Their Heads' Myspace
Here's another great split, this one coming from two of the pop punk scene's most prominent members - Off With Their Heads (who are often compared to Dillinger Four) and Dear Landlord (who are often compared to Off With Their Heads). You'd think that, given how popular these two bands have become, this split would be all over the web, but for some reason it isn't. Oh well.
Anyone who likes good, honest, no-frills pop punk should download this.
