This was originally released on the One Band, 5 Songs Patreon on July 1, 2024. My nine favorite records of 2024 so far.

Hailing from Boston, MA, The Ducky Boys released six full-length albums, several splits, and one EP between 1995 and 2013. Even though they got their start in the mid-to-late 90s oi/street punk scene, they quickly outgrew those labels to become one of the most underrated punk rock 'n' roll bands of the 21st Century. Timestamps:   00:00:00 - Part 1 00:04:40 - “The Ballad of the Forgotten” from Dark Days (1998) 00:06:53 - Part 2 00:09:22 - “Alone Tonight” from Three Chords And The Truth...

This was originally released on the One Band, 5 Songs Patreon on April 20, 2024. I first found Punk Lotto Pod in late 2019, or early 2020 while searching for podcasts that covered the best music of the 2010s. After listening to one episode, I was in. Shortly after that, I went back and listened to pretty much everything that they put out up to that point and shot them an email. Four years later I'm still listening but more than that, I found some great friends. Hosted by brothers Justin...

Hailing from Dallas, TX, Hagfish played a type of pop punk that helped them to fit in as perfectly next to the likes of Tripping Daisy and the Toadies as they did with Face To Face and the Descendents.  Over the course of 10 years, three albums (four if you count the spin-off band Armstrong’s full-length), one live album, and one compilation, the band forged a path that was raucous, a bit raunchy, and always a sh*t-ton of fun. Timestamps:   00:00:00 - Part 1 00:08:54 - “Sad” from Buick...

Forming in 1997, New Jersey's Hudson Falcons have released six full-length albums, five splits, three EPs, and two collections of purely incredible punk-inspired rock 'n' roll.  The band first gained notoriety in the late 90s street punk scene but quickly outgrew that genre tag, becoming one of the most well-rounded and powerful bands of the 21st century. Timestamps:   00:00:00 - Part 1 00:07:10 - “Free Lori” from Desperation & Revolution (1999) 00:10:23 - Part 2 00:21:42 -...

Hailing from Bellshill, North Lanarkshire, Scotland, The Soup Dragons formed in 1985 and have released four full-length albums, three EPs, three collections, and numerous singles.

Formed in Boston, MA in 1986, the Pixies were one of the most important and influential artists of the late 20th Century.  The band split up in 1993 after releasing a legendary catalog of four full-length albums, one EP, and numerous singles.  They reunited in 2004.

Hailing from Columbus, OH, singer-songwriter Micah Schnabel is one of the most powerfully poignant voices in rock ‘n’ roll today.  Since 2009, he has released five full-length albums, one live album, and two EPs, including 2024’s brilliant The Clown Watches the Clock.  Timestamps:  00:00:00 Part 1 00:04:49 “Throwing Rocks at the Sun” from When the Stage Lights Go Dim (2010) 00:06:28 Part 2 00:08:53 “Blame It On Geography” from I’m Dead, Serious (2013) 00:11:27 Part 3 00:13:47 “Not the...

Hailing from New York City, The Heartdrops played full-tilt, catchy as all-get-out, greaser punk rock.  Sadly, the band’s run was short (about five years producing a handful of 7-inch EPs and two full-length albums) and now all but forgotten, which is a crime. Timestamps:  00:00:00 Part 1 00:06:49 “Truth Comes Around” from Truth Comes Around / Eight Days A Week (1997) and Three Songs EP (2021) 00:09:22 Part 2 00:11:15 “Fool for Love” from This Is The Heartdrops (1998) 00:14:41 Part...

Hailing from Bugs Bunny’s least favorite place to travel through, Albuquerque, NM, The Eyeliners was formed in 1995 by sisters Gel (guitar), Lisa (bass), and Laura Baca (vocals and drum).  Over the next 10 years, the band released four albums (each one better than its predecessor), and relentless touring playing shows with the likes of Alkaline trio, The Donnas, Fugazi, L7, Red Aunts, The Specials, Dillinger Four, and Man of Astro-Man?, just to name a few.
