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

Promising debut from a cool new band. welcome to the spunk rock canon.
Shiny Wet Machine - Lights Out

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.

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

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.
