Obits Keep it Simple on Sophomore Albumnew
Obits is a wonderful band precisely because they aren't trying to reinvent the wheel. The guiding motto of the band's sophomore album, Moody, Standard and Poor, seems to be: "Rock has been rolling along perfectly well for many years, thank you very much, and we don't need to muck it up with a bunch of extraneous bullshit."

Boston's Other Great Punk Band Comes Into Its Ownnew
Unless they suddenly turn rap or something jarringly divergent like that, Street Dogs will always be compared to fellow Boston boys Dropkick Murphys. Both bands epitomize the same Southie tough-guy aesthetic, both proudly espouse the proletariat ethos and both express it through chanting anthems cut from the same fists-and-pints street punk cloth.

David Berman Finds Comfort in the Twangnew
If Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea is any indication, David Berman's fortunes are improving. Compared to 2005's knotty, uneven Tanglewood Numbers – which arrived on the heels of an extended period wherein the poet and Silver Jews frontman grappled with medical and substance-abuse problems – it's relatively frisky and oblique.

Orlando Indie Giants Mumpsy Sing Canary's Songnew
It's possible that no other indie band in Orlando packs as much potential as Mumpsy. Named after a cat in a children's book, they're the union of industriousness and talent, a recipe that's recently been paying off.
