Classics Of Love - Self Titled (2012)

Almost ten years have gone since Common Rider broke up in 2003. Since then, we have only seen Jesse Michaels performing solo until he came with the great news of returning to the band format with these Classics Of Love. Some will say that Jesse has been doing the same thing over and over; they couldn't be more wrong. Operation Ivy and Common Rider were unique mixtures of ska and punk, the latter one putting the accent on ska and reggae. Classics Of Love are attached to ska too, but they sound a little bit harder than the first two, this record's got some hardcore hooks and sounds like Jesse is full of energy to keep making great music. We are lucky bastards.

Cobra Skulls - Agitations (2011)

After listening to it for three long days online, waiting for the download to leak, here you got the third album from Reno's best punkers. Undoubtedly, a great work of energy and melody, plus this political rage and awareness that is the signature of the trio. They keep this slight rockabilly and country feel, plus some strange touches of ska or folk, and mantain their strong vibe of angry-with-the-war band. Listen it and give thanks to Peralta and his pals.
