Editors' Picks: Deny Everything / Cloak/Dagger
Brian: HOLY SHIT STOP THE PRESSES BRIAN'S RECOMMENDING A BAND THAT SOUNDS LIKE KID DYNAMITE. Really though, say "Hi" to Deny Everything, listen to them and fall in love, and then book your plane tickets to Germany so you can actually see them live.
Aubin: I still miss the Hot Snakes but if anything, Cloak/Dagger does help soften the blow. While it's made up of a lot of bands that would never be confused for that Swami act, including Give Up the Ghost and Striking Distance, Cloak/Dagger plays punk rock in the tradition of those rock'n'roll hooligans and quite well, I might add. They've got a new record coming out on Jade Tree very soon, it's called We Are and is due out September 11, 2007. I suggest you check out some music on their MySpace page and then snap up a copy of the album when it drops.
