two punk bands + a girl group = ECLECTICA, YO

Ah, the early (well, before noon) browse through my regular haunts for cool new bands to check out. The receipents of a quality review on Punknews are The Sorely Trying Days, who describe themselves as a "deadly storm of pure rage, half fun and deafening volume". There's bits of whatever stoner rock is (was) with some crust and I even hear a bit of melodic punk in there. Definitely worth checking out their myspace, as well as the video below, which has them playing "About the Good Times" off their Useless World debut Survival Mode. Check 'em out.



Also on the receiving end of a favourable review on The Org are new No Idea signees Dear Landlord, a band containing members of The Copyrights and Off With Their Heads. They've been receiving some type of hype due to their allegedly superb live shows and incredibly catchy songs, and their debut Dream Homes is pretty much living up to the hype from what I've heard so far. Check them out by clicking on the link above and check out the live footage of them playing "Lake Ontario" below.



And courtesy of the ever-snarky Popjustice, Girls Can't Catch and the video to their first single "Keep Your Head Up". It's catchy and allows whoever writes Popjustice to make posts like this so really, everyone benefits here. (Go to their Myspace page and check out the Starsmith remix of the single - it's great, even if the vocals are pretty much buried by everything else in the mix.)



Sorry for the lack of mp3s. You'll have to deal with the Youtube videos for now!
