| 1 |  | Future Virgins
Late Republic
Punk/pop-punk. Really underrated band, both their albums are incredibly consistent and they seem to be
getting better. "Cheap Seats": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEELh0P9C98 |
| 2 |  | The City on Film
In Formal Introduction
Solo project from Braid vocalist Bob Nanna. "For Holly": http://www.youtube.com/watch?

| 3 |  | Bent Outta Shape
Stray Dog Town
This is a sweet album, just a great straight up punk rock/rocknroll album with vocals kinda reminiscent
of The Replacements. "I Don't Know" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JIJFyg5Wlk |
| 4 |  | Business Models
Room
Pete from Algernon Cadwallader is in this band and it's an really solid listen front to back. Available for
free download at their bandcamp https://businessmodels.bandcamp.com/ |
| 5 |  | Toys That Kill
The Citizen Abortion
I know there's a few here who love "Fambly 42" (rightfully so, it's their best and an awesome album),
but their debut is pretty awesome as well. "Amphetamine St" http://www.youtube.com/watch?

| 6 |  | The Underground Railroad to Candyland
Bird Roughs
Todd from Toys that Kill's other band, more rockabilly/surf rock-ish but just as awesome. "Yuppie Hip
Hop Ad" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bxGdSWFmFw |
| 7 |  | Agent
Awake in their World
Don't even know if this band is still around anymore but this EP is a really good short burst of pop punk.
"Tough Lake, Mr. Meunster" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPLW2aORpKg |
| 8 |  | Cayetana
Nervous Like Me
Debut LP and it rocks. Saw them open for the Menzingers earlier this year and they were really good.
"Mountain Kids" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ukY8dgiCCc |
| 9 |  | Shotgun Jimmie
Transistor Sister
Canadian singer/songwriter who makes really catchy indie rock. "Suzy"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXL2hPgNLh0 |
| 10 |  | Bangers
Crazy Fucking Dreams
Punk band from the UK, really dig their sound, simple but effective http://www.youtube.com/watch?

| 11 |  | Grabass Charlestons
Ask Mark Twain
Another solid punk band that doesn't seem to be too well known, at least not on here. "Best in Shitty"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9XG2iZiOfU |
| 12 |  | Hayden
Skyscraper National Park
Another under appreciated Canadian singer/songwriter. His earlier stuff is more alt rock, but I prefer
his more mellow/relaxing side. "Dynamite Walls" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bu8_-ncqck |
| 13 |  | Fresh Coats
A Train Wreck Named Desire
Really short 8 song album (or ep?) that is just awesome. Pretty sure one of the guys from Get Bent is
in this band. "This Summer is Going to be Awesome" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjeLSBlmSVU
Whole thing's abailable for free on ifyoumakeit.com |
| 14 |  | David Dondero
The Transient

folk/rock music. "The Stars are my Chandelier" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkcN1O6dhkM |
| 15 |  | State Route 522

90s emo/indie rock band whose vocalist went on to sing with Sharks Keep Moving and Minus the
Bear. "1910" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU_M3pNbkcs |
| 16 |  | NONA
Through the Head
Just recently broke up but their one album is a really solid indie rock/pop punk/whatever album. Also the
same drummer as Spraynard. "Dead to You" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnQor46Sc1U |
| 17 |  | The Ambulars
Dreamers Asleep at the Wheel
Randomly downloaded this while browsing ifyoumakeit's catalogue and I'm glad. Nothing mind
blowing but a solid album worth downloading, and hey it's free. https://theambulars.bandcamp.com/ |
