Corin Tucker and the Filthy Friends - Any Kind Of Crowd
ok, so it's only a 2-song 7", but any new Corin is front-page news in spunk land. and plus REM? come on, you gotta like that!
audio (both songs): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkI1SsQ0Up8

New Pornographers - Whiteout Conditions
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAlHISTNbwY
a group of many players from Vancouver. Nico Case on vocals. very good record.

Cold War Kids - La Divine
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qbe3oSfUG00
Oh LA, is there anything you can't do? presumptive spunk capital of the world delivers another sort of softer sound. 


Crowd The Airwaves - All The Things We Don't Say


HalfLives - Empty Rooms
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwVV6PhL1tk
Promising debut from a cool new band. welcome to the spunk rock canon.

Shiny Wet Machine - Lights Out
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-wXhATCROA
another strong debut.

Juliana Hatfield - Pussycat
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmOh165354I
anyone miss the 90's?

Thurston Moore - Rock and Roll Consciousness
not quite as good as I had hoped, but some solid tunes. sounds like Sonic Youth without Lee.. if you can imagine that.

K. Flay - Every Where Is Some Where
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2WcOdz96ko

Michelle Branch - Hopeless Romantic
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYcOSA4K2s8
get ready to chill with spunk rock after hours.

Incubus - 8
I was somewhat disappointed with this one.. has the feel of a band past its prime. not bad though, worth a figurative spin
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-PxJFoohtc

Deep Purple - Infinite
Every once in a while a classic rock era band finds its way into the spunk rock drome. Deep Purple is just such a classic.

The Big Moon - Love in the 4th Dimension
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6t3vNfl85E
