Smaller bands that deserve our time...

[Mark Mooradian]

What are some smaller acts that everyone might not know of but are great none the less?


Hometown pop-punk heroes from where I went to high school at:

Pistolwhip

Also, I've been digging a band called Ape Up! from Boston. Noodley, heart-felt punk with a raw sound:

This band doesn't get nearly enough love, they're like Lemuria, except they make better music than Pebble....

for those of you that aren't familiar with Rumspringer, give them a chance!:

Pistolwhip? I feel like I should listen to that band based on their name alone.

The Ape Up guys are really nice. I met them at a house show in Richmond a year and a half or so ago.

Pistolwhip is great! Listen to the first song, it's killer.

Mark hit the nail on the head with Rumspringer. That is what you should all be listening to RIGHT NOW. Specifically their 10". One of the best records of the past 5 years.

If you guys haven't listen to Rubrics yet, you're screwing up. Think Fifteen meets Propagandhi.

THE NEW HOLD TIGHT! IS THE BEST RECORD OF THE YEAR SO FAR.
