Tenement - Napalm Dream




Tenement are a punk band from Wisconsin who are totally killing it. Napalm Dream has hooks for days and sounds like Hüsker Dü mixed with the Descendents and Bracket. Good luck getting these tunes out of your head, cuz Tenement write some syrupy-sweet jams bro. One of the best releases of 2011 for sure. Go buy the 12" of this bastard from Mandible Records and look for their new 12", Blind Wink, out this month from Cowabunga! Records.

Street Chant - Means




Street Chant are from New Zealand and they are totally killer. Means was released in mid-2010 but I just heard the album a couple months ago and it slays. It sound like Veruca Salt mixed with Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. It's poppy, heavy and totally fucking rad. Do yourself a favour and grab this shit, it'll be your new favourite jam for sure. This was released by Arch Hill Records, the same dudes who put out the Surf City album Kudos that I loved so dearly.
