Premature Infatuation - Brand New

who: Brand New
why: is streaming Daisy! Punknews.org claims this will only be a two day event, so act while you can and get a sneak preview of the crazily anticiapted new album.


Eargasm: The Glass Ocean - Put On the Wooden Overcoat EP

who: The Glass Ocean
why: I love when independent bands put out ridiculously good music and it finally gets around to me a year later. Keller Harbin (former vocalist for Every Time I Die and The Chariot) wisely chose to team up with Joshua Beiser (former bassist for The Chariot) to create this post-hardcore ensemble that has sincerely been blowing my mind recently, and you need to check them out. Their 2008 release 'Put on the Wooden Overcoat' is the EP I'm speaking of, and you can, and should DEFINITELY, pick it up here for only $5. As of right now, they've rushed to the top of my list of albums for 2008 to #3 behind The Fall of Troy and Right Away Great Captain!, so it's safe to say they're in good company. Some people aren't so quick to jump on a 5-song EP as I am, but I'd take a short masterpiece over a drawn-out album any day.

Rating: absolutely.
