Bomb The Music Industry!
The flash drive I write all of my entires on beforehand got lost this week, so I've fallen behind and don't feel like rewriting all of this shit. Here's the short version...
BTMI! is this generation's Suicide Machines/Op Ivy. It's crass and manic punk rock that's danceable as all hell. They release all of their albums for free download, and mainly act as a mouthpiece for every aging jaded punker making minimum wage.
Scrambles
Quote Unquote Records (2009)
Why you'll love it: Classic hardcore ska-punk
Why you'll hate it: Too many ballads / unintelligible lyrics

Songwriter, Jeff Rosenstock has a lot of interesting things to say about society, loneliness, and how pathetic the punk scene is; but the real draw is that he rants all of this off at high speed like a crazy hobo on a subway platform. There are a few ballads on this album, and as someone who doesn't really dig lyrics, I feel they are a total drag. Still, the insanity overwhelms the somber stuff, and anyone who grew up listening to punk rock while simultaneously hating "the scene" should be all over this. After all, it's free!
