The Gaslight Anthem - Handwritten (2012)

I personally have to admit that my hopes for this album were quite low because I didn't really like American Slang, it sounded pretty boring and I didn't really enjoy what TGA delivered in that one. But Handwritten has revived my hopes in this guys and it's always satisfying to re-like some band's work when you really enjoyed them in the past (Sink or Swim and The 59 Sound will always be unbeatable).
But I won't bore you guys with my thoughts in TGA, I prefer that you download this new record and decide for yourselves. Not best album of the year for me, but it is quite good, and Too Much Blood is already one of my favourite TGA songs ever.

Note: It is a rip from NPR and I've read that the last song is cut at minute 2.10 or so; I'll try to find other files, but for the moment it's all I've able to find.

Caseracer - Caseracer EP (2012)

Fascinating debut EP by this hardcore punk act coming from Delaware and New Jersey. Maybe this last one explains why they have a fresh and marked Lifetime influence. Hectic and intense hardcore punk with a gruff voice and a lot of resemblance with Kid Dynamite, Death Is Not Glamorous or Deny Everything. Loving this so much.

01. Trickle Down
02. I'm Uh Fixing A Divot
03. The Blind Are Courageous
04. Hunter Mountain
05. I Used To Watch Fantasia A Lot
06. Two Yutes

Slight Similarities With: Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, Death Is Not Glamorous.

Personal & The Pizzas - Diet, Crime and Delinquency 7" (2011)

For all the real punk-rockers out there. What would happen if you mix some ron asheton's guitar riffs, some slices of greasy 'n crusty pepperoni pizza, and some of the greatest and most memorable ramones' tunes? Season it with some mental issues and garnish it with leather jackets and you've got this great 7". Punk-rock from New Jersey's Personal and the Pizzas, right to your guts.

01- Diet Crime and Delinquency
02- Brain Damage
03- Bored Out Of My Brains

Slight Similarities With: The Ramones, Iggy & The Stooges, New York Dolls
