In the Fresh - The Fall of Troy
who: The Fall of Troy
why: I've already had the news on my twitter, but I figured I should post it here after I made their debut, self-titled album my friday flashback for the week.
The Fall of Troy have announced a headlining tour with Envy on the Coast and Twin Atlantic and what's most important is they're coming through Chicago TWICE (OPENING SHOW!!!), with both shows being on weekends! I'm so pumped I can't even tell you. I've only seen them the one time, but it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen and I'll never forget it. Go get yourself some tickets.

VOTW - January 22, 2010
who: Kevin Devine
why: because I've been on a little KD trip lately... I never really got into him too much, but I'm pretty pumped for next Tuesday when he'll be teaming up with Manchester Orchestra to release an EP titled 'I Could Be the Only One'.

Watch Out - Portugal. The Man
who: Portugal. The Man
why: Yes, again... this is the third post I've made about these dudes in a week - but they just won't stop bringin' it.
LMAO! - Adam Sandler
who: Adam Sandler on Conan
why: if you don't know what's going on by now you need to stop donating to Haiti... there's only so much you can do.

WE'LL DO IT ACOUSTIC! - Motion City Soundtrack
who: Motion City Soundtrack
why: fresh off their new release 'My Dinosaur Life', here's a live acoustic performance of their single "Her Words Destroyed My Planet".
Eargasm - Happy Belated 2009
who: The Republic of Wolves and The Temper Trap
why: because it never fails that every year I leave out at least one amazing album from my "Best of" lists... In 2006 it was Manchester Orchestra and This Will Destroy You. In 2007, Lady Radiator. In 2008, I somehow missed out on all of Bon Iver, The Glass Ocean, La Dispute and Wild Sweet Orange's albums.
The Temper Trap are the latest belated edition to my essential albums list. I don't really know the best way to describe their sound so I'll just go with what their twitter says - "4 aussie kids just rockin' it". This album caught me immediately... I listened to it on repeat all day and I still can't get enough.

And now it's just barely 2010 and I've already found two albums I managed to ignore last year. Fans of Brand New need to immediately hop on The Republic of Wolves bandwagon. If you liked 'Daisy', I guarantee you won't be disappointed in this, their debut EP - 'His Old Branches'. Lala isn't streaming their album yet, but be sure to check out their myspace for a few choice tracks.
