Hot Girls – Kamikaze Pilots

One night a while back after seeing a band somewhere I forget, my friends Tom and Max convinced me to come to the Lansdowne to see a band from Newcastle called Hot Girls play. I was drinking and up for whatever and when your drinking and your friends ask you to go see hot girls you go. So I went along. Needless to say Hot Girls were great. Indie punk with a Jade Tree Records kinda vibe.

Alkaline Trio – From Here To Infirmary LP (Black / ???)

‘From Here To Infirmary’ was the first Alkaline Trio album I listened to. I borrowed it from a friend while in high school and getting into punk. I had this record behind the counter at Beatdisc, I went to buy it one day and they told me they had sold it. It turned out my sister bought it for me for Christmas.

I don’t think pop punk can get much darker than this. Crusades are doing a good job though.

This reissue/repress was released by Cobraside Distribution Inc. and Vagrant Records.
