To celebrate their 19th year, The Lawrence Arms have announced a best-of album, with unreleased tracks!

“We Are the Champions of the World”, a 29 song retrospective collecting the band’s most popular works, is due out March 30th on Fat Wreck Chords.

The band took a unique approach to crafting the compilation record. Rather than just a smattering of commercially successful singles, they attempted to capture the band’s evolution throughout their career.  “I think you have to have hits to make a greatest hits,” says bassist/vocalist Brandon Kelly, “of which, frankly, there are none.” The album will feature material from all of their releases, and include 5 unheard songs recorded during the “Oh, Calcutta” sessions. 

This spring, The Lawrence Arms will set out on tour to support the record starting April 4th in Boston and winding down May 6th in Denver, CO. Check out additional details on the dates below!

The best part of writing for this site is discovering interesting new artists, and today grants me that exact opportunity. Meet Jacob Horn Trio, from Chicago, Illinois!

The 6 piece ska-punk trio has made 2 tracks available for streaming from a forthcoming LP due later this year. I was immediately surprised by the depth of the sound in the two tracks. The band’s bio notes they draw inspiration from ska and soul, and there is a hint of Motown in their lush combination of horns and guitars; complimenting Horn’s distinctive and emotive vocals.

Check out the tracks “Because” and “Catastrophic” below, and let us know what you think!

Russian psycho punks The Catafalque are streaming two new songs “Rusty Chainsaw” and “Little Whore”. I feel like “Rusty Chainsaw” is a perfect name for a song and describing the sound, while amazingly pleasing to the ear, if I was asked to describe them I’d say “they sound like a rusty chainsaw”, and I mean that in the most punk rock of ways.

Check out the mayhem below.

So far as I can tell this is the first music from the Russian punks since 2006’s “Demo”. If your into Tom Waits give these guys a try. [Read more…]
