Aubin: Enemy You play solid, upbeat and melodic punk rock music. Really, there isn't much more to them than that, and it's refreshing how straightforward and stripped down the music is while still being distinctive enough to be memorable. I can appreciate the various "-cores" as much as anyone, but, like the reviewer of their recent Stories Never Told - I have a soft spot for this kind of catchy and energetic music. Here are two tracks for you to check out from the aforementioned release on Red Scare:
Enemy You - The Only One Enemy You - Status Quo Brian: Slightly fuzzy and strangely melancholic, The Swayback may look like fashionista indulgers in any promo photo I seem to come across of them, but they happen to make some dark, restrained-yet-catchy rock 'n' roll that's hard to pin down. Check out the opening track from their self-titled album:
The Swayback - Distinguished Guests At The Downtrodden Ball Adam: What? Leave me alone I'm studying. Big exam tomorrow. MP3 of the Week? Shit I hadn't even thought about it. Umm (papers rustle) here, a tune from the latest Hot Snakes record, Audit In Progress. It's rocking the textbooks as we speak:
Hot Snakes - Hi-Lites
Now seriously, leave me alone until tomorrow.
