SWINGIN' UTTERS - mp3
Originally formed in the late '80s, the Swingin' Utters brought their own brand of aggressive music to the growing Bay Area punk scene. As well as being classed as a street punk band reminiscent of British '70s bands, Swingin' Utters have increasingly shown themselves to be influenced by traditional American country and folk, as well as Irish and Reggae. Soon the Swingin' Utters established their position as the West Coast's most dependable purveyors of gimmick-free punk. The genre is all about nonconformity and youthful aggression and rebelling against all things corporate. Without straying from their proletariat roots and blue-collar attitude, the Utters managed to maintain a nearly impossible level of respect from a culture that generally despises any shifts toward mainstream popularity. Swingin' Utters seem ready to defy the usual aging process that forces most punk bands to become little more than musical points of reference.
THE MENZINGERS - mp3
Scranton, Pennsylvania is probably best known as the home of the fictional Dunder-Mifflin on NBC's hit show The Office. But soon, Scranton will also be known as the home of one of the most exciting new bands in the world, The Menzingers. They play real deal, no frills, punk rock with reggae overtones and a sense of authenticity rarely seen in a genre that is quickly being overrun with posers and pretenders.
THE STRANGER - mp3
Featuring members of venerable Chicago bands Deal’s Gone Bad and The Peelers, The Stranger’s mix of rockabilly musicianship with punk energy and soul melodies has garnered them favorable reviews at venues such as the Bottom Lounge, Subterranean, and The Note, among others. Mike Hobson’s thumping upright bass and Alex Gourse’s powerful drumming form a solid backbone onto which Jason Larsen’s riff heavy guitar lines are woven together with Aaron Hammes’ soul shattering vocals

No one likes us, I don't know why. We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try. And all around us even our old friends put us down, let's drop the big one and see what happens.
