It seems this morning bands are just feeling very generous. True to their earlier promises, Showbread have released their fifth full-length, “Who Can Know It?”, for free. You can grab your copy right here, and if you’re feeling like your pockets are a bit heavy, you can also donate some money for the gift.

Showbread released The Fear Of God last August on Tooth & Nail Records.

Seven days ago I downloaded “Weather The Storm” by Man The Change and have listened to it at least once a day since then. Now to some of you that may not seem like a big deal but I’ve been extremely busy lately. Between work, family and several other miscellaneous time killers, I’m lucky if I can come up with an hour a day where I can listen to the music that I want to hear and for this album to take up a good portion of that time says a lot about it. This is a great release!

Now for those who don’t know, which is probably most of you since Man The Change is a relatively new band (formed 2009) and is currently unsigned, I’ll give you a little backround info. Man The Change is based in Brooklyn, New York.  They started out as a three piece band but now have four members. “Weather The Change” is their debut full-length album and their third release in 2010; the other two are a four song ep and a two song single. All three are available for download from www.manthechange.bandcamp.com, and they share their band name with the title of a song by Hot Water Music, a band that they list as one of their main influences.

Man The Change play a no gimmicks style of music. They’re not a Ska band, they don’t sound like they were raised on Bruce Springsteen or Lynyrd Skynyrd and this sure as hell isn’t pop music. It’s straight up punk rock. It brings me back the type of stuff my friends and I would listen to while we were out riding our skateboards, back to a time when punk still had a bit of danger to it and wasn’t made for radio play.

The band also lists The Movielife and Latterman as inspirations for their sound and both can be heard but I also get a big NOFX feel and maybe a touch of early Avail from it. The drumming is fast and up front in the mix, the vocals are half screamed half sung (think of a less nasal version of Fat Mike), and the guitars and bass fill out the rest of the space perfectly. It’s refreshing to hear this style of punk played again and done so well.

For now the only way to get “Weather The Storm” is through the bandcamp website that I mentioned earlier. The ep and single are free and you can pay however much you want (give the band a couple of bucks if you can afford to) for the album or get it for free.

On December 4th the band will be holding a cd release show at the Party Xpo in Brooklyn. It’s a three o’clock show and the band will be sharing the bill with Captain Were Sinking, Up For Nothing, Banquets and special guests No Trigger. If you’re in the area (I wish I was) you can stop by, see a great show and pick up a copy of the “Weather The Storm”.

Today we bring you a free download of “Bird In The Tangle”, the solo debut from ex-Juliana Theory vocalist, Bret Detar. For those unaware of who The Juliana Theory even is you can check out their MySpace page. You can grab your free download of “Bird In The Tangle” right over here.

The Juiliana Theory has been disbanded for quite some time but they did play a string of reunion shows supporting the 10th Anniversary of their most beloved album, “Emotion Is Dead”.

Scranton, Pennsylvania’s Tigers Jaw have posted a song from their upcoming album, “Two Worlds”. The song is titled “Smile” and you can take a listen to it on their MySpace page.

Tigers Jaw will release “Two Worlds” on November 23rd with Run For Cover Records handling the release.

Virginian pop-punker’s Sing Me Insomnia are streaming a brand new song on their MySpace page.  It’s titled “Getaway” and it will appear on an upcoming EP currently in the works.

The band released their last album, The Introduction, February 16th on iTunes.

Alright punk fans, here’s a new band for you to check out.  They’re called Fabulous Under Fire and they play a somewhat poppy brand of straight forward punk rock…  I think…  I hate trying to describe a band’s sound…

Hit up their MySpace page to stream a handful of songs off their upcoming debut EP “Make It Happen!” and judge for yourself.

The Gaslight Anthem performed their songs “Navesink Banks” and “Senor And The Queen” amongst others recently on JBTV.  These have always been a few of my favorite Gaslight Anthem songs so I especially liked this episode.  There’s a bunch of other stuff in the episode including an archived Green Day interview, a british pop-rock artist named Dan Black, and an art show but just go here and jump to minute 6:30, 24:50, 36:30 and 44:50 if you’re only interested in Gaslight.

Roger Miret and the Disasters, will release its fourth album, “Gotta Get Up Now”, on January 25, 2011 via People Like You Records.  The CD, which is described in a press release as “the band’s most defining release to date. . . the culmination of punk, reggae, pub rock and hardcore influences teamed with a renewed energy and teeth,” was produced by former Disasters and current Street Dogs member Johnny Rioux.

A track from “Gotta Get Up Now” entitled “We’re Gonna Find a Way” is available for streaming on the Roger Miret and the Disasters MySpace page. The song is said to be “a code of ethics set to music.”

The New York City-based based punk rock band features Roger Miret from Agnostic Front.
