Harriet the Spy



Oh man I can't believe I haven't posted this yet. Harriet the Spy is an ingenious band from the 90s of Kent, OH. They sound like spastic emo mixed with a post-hardcore vibe. I'm including their Anthology plus Unfuckwithable which has a different, more Yo La Tengo indie feel to it.

Lifetime



This band isn't anything new. Lifetime has been around since the 90s making some seriously good jams in the pop punk scene. However, though I love Jersey's Best Dancer as much as the next guy, their self titled album of 2007 is giving it a serious run for its money. It's soooooooooooooo good! On my list of pop-punk jams I'll be listening to this summer, along with Rvivr's new LP ^_^

The Mean Jeans



If you thought it couldn't get any better, well then you haven't heard Mean Jeans! Even though this Portland, OR band started out as a ripoff Ramones tribute band, in my opinion they are doing and accomplishing much more than just that. Recently I saw them live at the Artistery in Portland and it completely blew me away. They make you want to live everyday as if it were summer; skateboarding, eating pizza, and drinking beer. Even though I've never been a fan of the Ramones, their influence on this band is definitely apparent, but I don't think the Ramones ever partied as hard as these guys do.

Superchunk



Superchunk is an indie rock band from North Carolina that formed in 1989. If you like Pete and Pete and living in the 90s in the summer, then this band is for you. Super feel good vibes.

Rvivr



Rvivr is an awesome pop punk band from Olympia, WA featuring members of Shorebirds and Latterman. All I can say is that I've been listening to their new LP for the past few weeks non-stop. It's the shit. You can download the whole thing for free at Rumbletowne Records here: Rvivr Lp

White Lung



Get stoked! White Lung is an all girl punk band from Vancouver B.C. who play catchy riffs and apparently like to fuck shit up. All I could find was their 3 song Atlanta 7", but they are touring the states this summer so make sure to go see them! They will be playing at my house in Olympia on July 16th. WOHO!
