Hot Water Music - Exister (2012)

Since "Drag my body" came out to make us salivate like Pavlov's dog, Exister has been one of the most expected albums of this prolific spring. Gainesville, FL's favorite sons are back with the album that will make number ten on their count. No break-ups can stop HWM. New album starts from the top with "Mainline" as if they had never disbanded to come back a year later. Still energic, still heartfelt and still delivering some of the catchies melodies sung by a unique voice.

01. Mainline
02. Boy, You’re Gonna Hurt Someone
03. State Of Grace
04. Drown In It
05. Drag My Body
06. Safety
07. Exister
08. Wrong Way
09. Take No Prisoners
10. Pledge Wore Thin
11. No End Left In Sight
12. The Traps
13. Paid In Full

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

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)

The Menzingers - On The Impossible Past (2012)

We've been missing for a month but now we're back and running and we come with one of the years most expected albums that leaked 4 days ago. A band that has grown into every orgcore appreciator and have matured their sound in so many ways that I can't really explain with simple words. They were huge when they started and they are getting even better as the years and the records pass by. This is their third LP, the follow-up to Chamberlain Waits which was a great leap forwards to the new sound of the Scranton's sons. This time you can hear The Menzingers on their most mature, intimate, deep and heartfelt work. Top of the year 2012 for sure; check the list at the end of the year.

01 Good Things
02 Burn After Writing
03 The Obituaries
04 Gates
05 Ava House
06 Sun Hotel
07 Sculptors And Vandals
08 Mexican Guitars
09 On The Impossible Past
10 Nice Things
11 Casey
12 I Can’t Seem To Tell
13 Freedom Bridge

RVIVR - Belebend EP (2011)

I've been searching for this EP since RVIVR announced its release due to their european tour, I had to wait and the only thing I was able to listen was one of the two songs on this record, thanks to somebody who uploaded it to Youtube. Finally it leaked in mp3 format and you can download it. To be honest, it's only two songs and the first one doesn't really stand out, but the second one would perfectly fit into "derailer EP" and it's got huge amounts of energy and a epic melody that only this guys can deliver. One more reason to love Erica Freas' voice.

01- Paper Thin
02- Wrong Way/One Way

Banner Pilot - Heart Beats Pacific (2011)

There's a very important reason to listen to Banner Pilot, they can turn you worst day into the joy of a rollercoaster ride. They have this energy-boost melodies, and sound like the best kind of gruffy pop-punk. This time they have slowed down the tempo a little bit but they keep sounding as enthusiastic as the first day. "Spanish Reds" is something that you guys have to check out right fucking now, 100% classic Banner Pilot anthemic melody!

(Sorry for making you wait so much for this album, the first rips that leaked were really lame and I wanted to give you something with better sound).

01. Alchemy
02. Forty Degrees
03. Red Line
04. Spanish Reds
05. Eraser
06. Expat
07. Isolani
08. Calling Station
09. Western Terminal
10. Intervention
11. Division Street

Timeshares - Bearable (2011)

Do you remeber the first time you discovered bands like Latterman and that eventually got you listening all these bands raising from its ashes like Iron Chic or RVIVR? Can you picture yourself cheking the Punknews.org messageboard out to find news about the last Spraynard record? If your answer is yes, you must have clicked download long before you finished reading this lines.
Timeshares are a band from Oneonta, NY and the have just delivered a great first LP featuring songs from their previous releases and a fistful of new tracks. Any Latterman melancholic would enjoy this album, but we can't say that these guys are just another copy of the Huntington geniouses, they go further with a more personal sound and a mature writing, adding intensity to the positive message that this bands have always defended. Sure they keep this Latterman vibe and spirit, but only to make them grow when they give us those half-shouted singalongs with heart-in-hand melodies. From An Admirer Not Darryl starts it all with tons of energy and soon you will find yourself loving each track of this great album. Nothing else to say but "download it right fucking now".

1. From An Admirer Not Darryl
2. Everyday Doops
3. Focus, Eddie
4. Oh No Not That
5. Sarah, Send Your Driver
6. Damn Near By Beer
7. Too Many ELO Days

10. Mumbleface
11. Woke Up In Grappler School
12. Math & Science
