NY Times review compares Tenement's double album ambition to Husker Du and Minutemen. I like Tenement's pop-punk and their piano instrumental interludes, but set in my ways me is not ready to put this alongside Zen Arade or Double Nickels.

The first actual song on the Tenement album sounds exactly like Everclear.

Tonight in old men rocking the fuck out it's Radio Birdman. Wow they were amazing. I had a ticket for the last time they were supposed to play London at the Underworld but they were turned away by immigration.

Yeah seriously a great band! I play them in the store sometimes and am always disappointed that no one gives a shit; it's like the greatest rock band most people have never heard but all they want is Tull and Zeppelin and the Beatles. Still.

i had "aloha steve and danno" on some promo cd from when the sub pop comp came out circa 2001 and played the shit out of it (and later the whole compilation), amazing band. no US dates on this tour sadly

This is a quick, mid-year reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread (and a handful of album selections from each listed) are being posted as updated to the thread-specific Spotify playlist. I just did a top-to-bottom sweep prior to posting this message and have updated as of today with everything that's been added on Spotify since it was first mentioned.
Somehow I lost track of this thread but we're updated now: 20 tracks, 1 hour.

^^^ cool comp of 1990s punk, great and noisy and DIY-weird. Already OOP (to be repressed) and absolutely worth picking up if you see it.

I like them a lot. More pop-punk than my usual tastes but the rinky-dink keys and well-written songs push it over the edge.

yes! probably my favourite record of the year. if you had told me even last year that i'd fall in love with a double LP of pop punk songs in 2015 i would've laughed very very hard.

these songs from the upcoming LIFE STINKS album sound really good https://soundcloud.com/s-srecords/sets/life-stinks-youll-never-make
one of them somehow reminds me of both Pavement and Oasis, the other two are more bozo noiserocky. guessing their name is a Rocket From The Tombs tribute

It has been updated with a few new adds (No Negative, Cuntz, G.L.O.S.S., Obnox) and includes every track mentioned on thread that is available via Spotify's US catalogue as of EOY 2015. If I missed something or if a track comes available sometime in the future, bump here to let me know and I'll add.
