Day 4- Sublime
Ok, I’m gonna try to take this in a new direction with a great ska punk band from the 90s- sublime. With a horns section along with guitar solos this three piece group of stoners really set the bar for all ska punk bands. It’s a crying shame that their front-man Bradley Bowell OD’d about 15 years ago although it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Day 1- Bloc Party
Alright, let’s start this off with the indiest of the indie- a band called Bloc Party. I don’t really listen to tons of indie but i really enjoy these guys. I’ll put some of their videos up after I’m done writing this (i really have no idea how this works). Anyways they have 3 albums- Silent Alarm, A Weekend in the City and Intimacy. Silent Alarm is probably their best...
Spreadin the love
So heres the deal- I’m going to post a review of a band along with a link to a song or two of theirs whenever i feel like it. I’ll try to cover as many genres as possible and if people actually read this, I’ll find out what you guys like and what sort of stuff i should post in the future. I probably have a bit under a thousand artists in my itunes so it should be fun.
