Sterile Walls Black Vinyl 7″

Honestly, I can’t ever remember a new band reminding me of Boogadaboogadaboogada!-era Screeching Weasel but that’s exactly what Psyched To Die have done on Sterile Walls. Think Circle Jerks, Screeching Weasel and Descendents with their pop radars turned down and the punk knob turned up to eleven. Psyched To Die are comprised of members of The Ergs!, Forward To Death and For Science among others. This is a breath of fresh air and reminds me of the type of bands that initially brought me into punk rock in the first place. For fans of snotty punk with a nervous tick this is highly recommended.

Label: Grave Mistake / Firestarter

Band You Should Know: Teenage Bottlerocket

This one has been sitting in the draft folder for a few weeks…I guess I waited too long cause everybody will know this band now that they have signed to Fat Wreck Chords. But I’m not one to let a post go to waste. Teenage Bottlerocket have been around for a few years now with barely a sniff from SAL. That is my bad indeed. In the last few months I have fallen hard for the band’s 2008 album, Warning Device. I was stunned at how much better the band sounded than what I remember from my initial listens a few years ago. Sometimes it just takes a few albums for a band to hit their stride. With their third album, Teenage Bottlerocket has improved leaps and bounds and Warning Device is the proof in the pudding. For fans of pop/punk, Screeching Weasel and Lookout Records but with a definite modern feel.

Banner Pilot: Resignation Day

Good pop/punk and Minneapolis seem to go hand in hand and Banner Pilot continue that trademark tradition with Resignation Day. While the band certainly owes some debts to the likes of Dillinger Four there is also a huge early Lawrence Arms/Broadways influence here as well. The gritty vocals certainly remind one of Brendan Kelly (Slapstick, The Broadways, The Lawrence Arms, The Falcon). But there is also a cool pop undercurrent to the band’s songs. I can hear shades of Screeching Weasel melodies and the old Lookout Record days throughout Resignation Day especially on album opener “Overwinter” and songs like “Speed Trap”. “Empty Your Bottles” and “Milemarker” are awesome tracks that practically beg you to sing along. For fans of snotty pop/punk Banner Pilot is a must hear and Resignation Day is a must have!
