Pissed Jeans: Shallow (Reissue)
The 2005 debut by this Philadelphia noise-punk band sounds right at home in the fall of 2014.

He is also pursuing an MFA degree in creative writing at Columbia College Chicago. He kicks himself daily for never having seen Husker Du, Nirvana or the Jesus Lizard live on stage.
Purling Hiss: Weirdon
The latest from Philadelphia guitar wizard Mike Polizze gives voice to his catchy, pop-loving side.
The Fleshtones: Wheel of Talent
Nearly four decades into their career, these veteran garage-rockers haven't lost their knack for creating catchy and infectious tunes.
Milagres: Violent Light
There's a lot of beauty on the second album by this Brooklyn band, but the songs suffer from a museum-like coldness.
Pontiak: Innocence
The prolific Virginia power trio delivers an album stocked with enough potent guitar riffs to overcome a few less than inspired ballads.
Hank3: A Fiendish Threat
The latest punk effort from Hank3 takes a rustic approach to the genre, but the songs are more bland than bad-ass.
Flume: Flume Deluxe Edition
The reissue of the acclaimed debut by Australian producer Flume offers enough strong new content for both fans old and new.
