Grim Luck!

Grim Luck is a San Diego based band established in 2006 (though so debate 2004). They indulge in the musical genres of Ska, Hardcore, Punk, Folk, and Gipsy-punk. Each of their albums are drastically different from the last but still contain the same amount of ferocity and tenacity as their previous. They are fast, loud, obnoxious, and drag their songs on too long with battle like hymns. Their albums feature instruments such as, Banjos, Accordions, Tubas, Cellos, Organ, Saxes, Trumpets, Trombones and etc etc etc.

Sounds Like: Arrogant Sons of Bitches, Gogol Bordello, Streetlight Manifesto, Babylon Circus

Sledding With Tigers

Sledding With Tigers is an acoustic concept band that features hilarious yet, brutally insightful songs. Abusing the fact that Dan Faughnder isn't much of a guitar player...or singer.. he uses it to his advantage of making a tongue in cheek, catchy album and making ideas we hate into ideas we can get behind and support. I hope you like Auto-tuning.

Sounds Like: Kimya Dawson, Kanye West, AJ Peacox

Sledding With Tigers - The Hill Sheep

It looks like Dan decided to go a more serious route, and it works pretty will! Who knew, the same artist that used auto-tune ironically and sang songs about theoretical molestation charges can write insightful songs of sadness and growing up.

1. Plans

2. The Continuing Adventures of Feeling down n Out

3. 5432Fun!!!

4. Ten Fourty-Five

5. Hung Overture

6. Sick and Tired/Sick and Tired

Dr. Skavra

Dr. Skavra is a band that summons (WITH THE POWER OF SCIENCE) the evil sounds of surf, ska, new wave, and bizarro. Silly lyrics, lo fi recordings, dancy as fuck. Not enough bands are like this anymore.

Sounds like: Devo, The Aquabats, Oingo Boingo

Sledding With Tigers - No Randy No!

Sledding With Tiger's 3rd release. Away with the auto-tone. Away with the blatant comedy. And with it more somber and dry humour that is reminiscent to the songwriting by Andrew Jackson Jihad, Paul Baribeau, and other awkward/hipster acoustic bands (which is not a bad thing by all means).

Real good, Matured, and rad. A fine collection of songs to add to his repertoire

1. The 405 (is for lovers?)

2. Not Trying to be Awkward

3. In Response to all the Songs Erich Beckmann Writes

4. Love Songs Are Dumb Songs (But I like em Anyways)

5. Sunshine

6. Smile! Why Not?

7. Hey Vanessa!

The Amalgamated

The Almagamated is a band that is playing a lost art form (at least in the west coast) Instrumental Trad. ska. Talented, tight, and full of energy this band shreds and is one of the few bands to make the SoCal ska scene worth it.

sounds like: Skatalites

The Almagamated - Cock of The Walk

Their first release, was recorded live (pretty good quality, too!) just to show off how much talent they have! A rocking EP (though could be longer..) but still a kick in the ass!

The Ovens

I did not get permission to post these albums here. But it would be a crime not to share.. quite possibly, the greatest band that has ever graced the earth.
The Ovens is a garage band based out of San Mateo County in the city of Millbrae. They eloquently sing songs about being on drugs, being depressed, sucking at life, and writing shitty music. But they do it in such a monotonic, don't give a fuck attitude that adds to the subtle insanity of these songs. Most of their songs won't reach past the 90 second mark, and yet they have the ability to showcase more talent, creativity, and song writing than bands that write songs three times the length. They sing like Weezer or Ozma, and have the most shredding guitar solos that would make Brian May blush, and contain the dreaminess of the Beatles.

sounds like: Weezer, Queen, Beatles

The Ovens - Triple LP on tUMULt

The ovens released three of their LPs unto one awesome, 44 track album on tUMULt's label. Most songs won't reach past a minute and yet contain catchy as hell lyrics, and always end the songs in an epic dueling guitar solo bang.

If you like this album, please please please, support them and buy the record here.

Elliottfuckingsmith

(taken from their myspace)

"A highly trained group of international globetrotters, the wise and worldly team that is elliottfuckingsmith, spends its time traversing the earth, solving mysteries, and cracking cases. Fueled by their own unquenchable thirst for justice, and backed up by their indomitable sense of valor, this fearsome foursome have been making the lives of evil-doers, and other dubious characters relatively less comfortable, every 3 months or so, since 2004. . . . . . . . . . . We have 2 full length albums recorded."

Which translate to, "A pop/punk band with energy and sloppiness and catchy songs. Fast, dancy, and cleverly written songs. A total blast!"

sounds like: The Bananas, The Ramones, Fifteen, Dillinger Four

Blaupunkt!

Blaupunkt! is a band that takes it's influences from 90s pop/punk, ska, and japanese rock. It doesn't hurt that it throws in the drumming energy and speed of early 90s punk, indie ideals, and guitar chord and progression of jazz guitar. They are fast, melodic, beautiful, and have epic shredding guitar solos above simple, yet catchy horn lines.

Sounds Like: Blink 182, Potshot, The Pillows, Old Pop/punk
