One Beacon In The Strand - Disalto

I like Punk-Rock; I especially like it when it sounds this good. While this is not the best album of this genre that I've heard, it is the best I've listened to in a long time. Punk rockers tend to be far too political in recent times and I feel it takes away from the musical experience; even though political themes play a huge part of Punk-Rock's history they shouldn't overtake an entire album. One of the best things about Disalto's second release is the great mixing job; sounds random but if you've ever listened to this genre you can understand my delight. Harmonies and subtle nuances come through just as much as blazing guitar riffs and explosive drums and I guarantee that it makes for a rather enjoyable experience. All ten of the featured tracks are good in their own way and there is not one definitive track that stands above all others which makes for a fairly balanced album. I've droned on long enough, so I'll leave you to it.

The Young Sound

The Bit Parts EP

Fresh from the still-rattled gulf coast, the Youth Sounds have not been stopped by the recent disasters. I discovered this new band a few days ago and was shocked to find out that these are their first tracks, ever. Their sound seems so worked, as if they have been recording for a long time and have just released their favorite tracks on an EP. I haven't analyzed the tracks enough so I can't formulate a concrete opinion; but I'm only just discovering this band and if my first impression is anything to go by, I plan on following their next releases with great excitement

So not too long ago, I listened to thsi mixtape. Never got to finding a downloading link. I happened to come across it on another blog, so here you go. Some Funky R&B, different to say the least, but... It's all pluses. Smooth voice, a bit of that 90's feel to it, a few remixes you'll soon recognize & some international features make this mixtape quite an album. (thanks to whomever i got the link from).
