Daddy Long Legs &bull; <i>Lowdown Ways</i>

Daddy Long Legs • Lowdown Ways

Having the word “daddy” in your band’s name is a tough bar to clear, and these guys have just the type of delta blues sleaze to make it over easy.

AK/DK &bull; <i>Strange Loops</i>

AK/DK • Strange Loops

Geordie Greep &bull; <i>The New Sound</i>

Geordie Greep • The New Sound

Another band with a well-earned penchant for ALL-CAPS, overbrimming with adolescent incorrigible behavior sung about from the perspective of adults proving it is indeed corrigible. The music is hyper-pop-punk and the irony levels are high.
