-Horders "Lost Kingdom" (Give Up's experimental audio project) dirty like a discarded razor, and lo-fi like a copy machine.

-Hallowed Fallacy (HF7.5) (full color mini zine) Walls and Billboards,Various failures and triumphs. Fits neatly in your pocket.

-Blacklisted "no one deserves to be here more than me" The first real hardcore album to rip out my speakers in months. "I Am Extraordinary" is unbelievable, I'd buy the album for the song alone. This band never lets me down.

-The Blinding Light "Junebug" All the sudden I'm eighteen again, back when melodic hardcore crossover bands still had some guts, and breakdowns weren't so..... worn out. A solid follow up to 2004's "Ascension Attempt".

-Cougar Den "Keep on Drifter" Ok, I have to admit I'd never heard of these dudes before, and i purchased the album and cd based on the amazing cover Horkey did for it, but you know what, it's pretty damn good! I probably would have dug it more a few years back when all I listed to was this angry shit, but It's holding up now. Buy it for the cover or for tunes, both are solid.
