Finally Friday

It’s finally Friday and time for my first post on the blog!

Because an Arcade Fire caused the Funeral of two men from The Suburbs, where all attendants would agree that Neon Bible wasn’t anything special

I’m going to do my best to make this a weekly segment with a comic and the albums I reviewed for WCDB that week.

Sister Kisser – Vipers

Sister Kisser is a Long Island pop-punk band that sounds like it should come from Gainesville, FL. Sort of abrasive, and mid-tempo, these guys are sort of like Long Island’s answer to Off With Their Heads. Their records are up on their bandcamp; you can name your own price. Dead Broke Rekerds can do no wrong

RIYL: Off With Their Heads, Down in the Dumps, Alkaline Trio, Drinking yourself to sleep.

New Kids in the Village

Tonight I had my radio show (“Melissa In the Morning and Amazing,” Tuesdays 6-8PM, alt. rock) and came across a pretty neat CD in rotation that I added to my iTunes library immediately afterwards.  It’s poppy, mysterious, and sometimes make me feel as though I am being spoken to in my dreams… but in my waking life..

Self Defense Family “I’m Going Through Some Shit”

Self Defense Family (formerly End of a Year) is one of Albany’s best local bands. Recently a review of their newest 7″ said something akin to “a song that sounds more like it came out of an opium den than a punk band”.
