Avail

Avail is one of my all time favorite bands, hands down.

100 Times was their first release for Fat Wreck Chords. It featured one new song and a few new recordings of classic Avail fare.

Pinned Up is my highlight of this one!

Please record a new album soon, Avail.

The Draft

The Draft is 3/4's of Hot Water Music.

This is a 4 song EP that they released in digital format.

Devil In The Shade is probably their best song to date.

Lonely Kings

Lonely Kings from California played the Lehigh Valley years ago and really impressed me. I think they played with Weston in a small room in the middle of nowhere and were fucking great.

These are the songs that were on a split release with a band called Divit. They pretty much rule.

The Curse

The Curse was one of Philadelphia's most underrated bands ever. They played a great mix of hardcore and punk with raspy vocals that sounded a lot like Tim Armstrong of Rancid/Operation Ivy.

I'm glad that I got to see this band twice before they called it a day, they were a great live show. Dave Hause went onto be in Paint It Black and now The Loved Ones. Vocalist Ben Wolfgang went on to be in the very short lived Bookburner.

And now, here's their demo release.
