Joyce Manor - Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired (2012)

Hard to label this. Not punk, not indie, not hardcore but a mixture of all the previous and some ingredients more. I like this one more than the self titled. It's shorter and funnier in my humble opinion. Punknews gave the #1 in the staff's list, I don't really know if that matters so much but just in case you should download it and check it out yourself. Worth it.

01. These Kind of Ice Skates
02. Comfortable Clothes
03. See How Tame I Can Be
04. Drainage
05. Video Killed The Radio Star
06. If I Needed You There
07. Bride of Usher
08. Violent Inside
09. I'm Always Tired

Sharks - No Gods (2012)

First I have to admit that Sharks are not the same they were before. This doesn't mean that they suck now or that they keep nothing of their roots, don't get me wrong. They've made some changes in this record, starting with the jump to major, meaning better sound and better production. And that's the first thing I don't like, because I loved how Sharks had a dirty sound but they were elegant and neat at the same time. The thing that stuck them to the punk roots, to that husky strummer voice that James had and now has turned into a bright and clean chant. The guitar riffs are still accurate and colorful and they still know how to build epic choruses, but the compositions have gone to the indie side of indie punk. This is a good record, totally worth downloading and listening to (otherwise, we wouldn't be posting it) but you have to realize that some things have changed, and it's up to you to decide if it's getting better or not. Your call.

01. 'Til The Wonders Rise
02. Arcane Effigies
03. Able Moving Hearts
04. On A Clear Day You Can See Yourself
05. Matthew's Baby
06. Patient Spider
07. Turn To You
08. Dawn Soft Light
09. What Entails?
10. Luck
11. No Gods

Spraynard - Exton Square EP (2012)

Finally it leaked and we were there to get the link and provide you with 4 new songs from our West Chester's favorites. Funtitled was one of the greatest records of 2011 and this EP keeps the feelings that the previous work created. Heartfelt, sincere and unique with a matured Spraynard sound, putting some more distance between the Latterman label that flies over all these kind of bands. Positiveness even in the saddest songs, lots of controlled energy and a bright future for our favorite trio.

01. Can I Borrow a Feeling?
02. You Can't Get There From Here
03. Trembling
04. Intents and Purposes (Three Words)

Slight Similarities With: Latterman, Iron Chic, RVIVR
