In other news:

 

AGENT ORANGE

 

ONLY the album "Living in Darkness"

 

Surf Rock percussion guitar meets the emerging early 80's so-cal punk scene to create the only legitimate surf punk band ever. Though to be fair, they only got it right on one album, "Living in Darkness."

 

Obligatory "Miserlou" cover? CHECK

Inclusion of their classic "Blood Stains"? CHECK

Mounds of pessimism and creativity? CHECK

 

One of my all time favorite albums.... no fugging kidding.

 

 

PRETTY GIRLS MAKE GRAVES

 

They have two albums, Good Health, and The New Romance. I soundly reccomend The New Romance. Good Health is good, but The New Romance is jaw dropping. Dark themes dealing with mental health and mental health treatments, lonlieness, and paranoia. Fronted with an amazing female vocalist, and backed up by an inventive band. William Borroughs and/or Morrissey would be proud to be alluded to in this bands name.

 

hehe, that's all for now.

Yes! I got at least one more person caught on the Decemberists.

2 Slipknot

3 From First to Last

4 Tool

5 Avenged Sevenfold
