Springtime and Blind

A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them!

Classic garage-punk with bluesy swing and plenty of grit from Bad Bad Men.

A terrific split cassette from two promising young indie bands, this is one part melody, one part fury.

Sydney group Bloods decamped to Seattle to make this brief, punchy EP that pairs punk attitude with sky-high hooks.

The "Islands Series"(if we're still calling it that) has always been my personal favorite output from SDF. This one is no different. This band can do no wrong.
