Real Life Revisited
by Samurai Tiger
This is one of my favorite current bands. Conrad, the guitarist, runs the label that puts out our tapes. I love them. Christmas Lights changed my life. FFO: fun indie punk, absolute #shred

The sickest lo-fi yelly emo out of central LA. Contains members of Passing a Starfighter, Bentley, and Arms&Legs. Also they're the sweetest people. FFO: kind of screamy emo, like Hiya Ses on Facebook.

Sick EP by a friend in Monroe. Our old bands toured together once. Stokes is really fucking good at music. FFO: sporadic math, good song titles, the Twin Peaks intro song
