Scott:I think of Abilene as the evil twin brother to American Football. The music is sinister and brooding, and the vocals - instead of Mike Kinsella's sweet ramblings about love - are gruff and harsh. Plus, the use of trumpet in these tracks is astoundingly perfect. For those who are keeping score, this band contains current/ex-members of June of '44, Hoover, Lustre King, Chisel Drill Hammer, HiM, Radio Flyer, Regulator Watts, and Small Ax. Check out these two songs off their 2002 album Two Guns, Twin Arrows:
Abilene - Fitch Abilene - Blanc Fixe

Aubin: Well, it isn't punk in any literal, metaphorical or virtual sense, but it's British so that's something. It's a track recorded by Eric Idle, formerly of Monty Python, and it expresses a sentiment which any proponent of free speech can get behind. One last note: for the love of your god, don't play it at work unless you have headphones.
