The Soviettes are a four piece band from Minnesota. The thing that makes them above average is that every member in the band acts as a "lead" vocalist.

The World/Inferno Friendship Society "Thumb Cinema"
This Brooklyn band fuzes jazz and punk and gives it that gypsy feel that just sounds nice. They incorporate many instruments such as piano, accordian and horns to compliment the typical punk band instruments. That's what give these guys just the edge I like; they're different AND tallented! This song's called "Thumb Cinema" and it's off the album Addicted to Bad Ideas.
Hit the Switch "Tidal Wave"
Hit the Switch is a band from Chino, California. They are a pretty recent group and I can't really find much information for them on the internet. BUT, as promised, I deliver

SNFU "Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump"
Just when you thought Nickelback was the best thing to fall out of Canada since Sum 41, here come these guys who've been together since the 80's. SNFU have been rocking for years, in the times they haven't been apart. Their nightmarish lyrical imagery is something to behold. The wit of Chi Pig is astounding, and I'm glad to announce this song as song of the day. This song's off the album In the Meantime and in Between Time

Refused "Summerholidays vs Punkroutine"
Refused is usually described as a Swedish hardcore band, but they're just one of those few badass bands who do what they want indiscriminately with vulgar passion. They lasted from '91 to '98. The band went through some emotional devastation and personal issues, and tragically broke up. Even more sad, their last show on their last US tour was to take place in a friend's basement but was shut down by the boys in blue

American Steel "Love and Logic"
American Steel are a California punk band formed in '95. They kind of remind me of Against Me! That's all I feel like writing

Subhumans "Religious Wars"
The Subhumans are an English punk band formed in 1980, most notable for their crass hardcore sound. They started out on Flux of Pink Indians' label and shortly after started their own. They disbanded in '85 and did a no more than a couple of reunion shows up until 1998 when they started touring the UK and US again. Since then they have made an impressive live album for Fat Wreck and released an album called Internal Riot for their own label Bluurg Records.
Dwarves "Speed Demon"
These guys are raunchy. These guys are rude. These guys are not friendly. I like these guys. Originally formed in Chicago during the 80's under the name The Suburban Nightmare, the Dwarves are it man. These guys kind of remind of GG Allin because of their wild stage performances. In 1993, they released a press statement that their guitarist HeWhoCanNotBeNamed was stabbed to death in Philedelphia, which later turned out to be a hoax. How cool is that!?

NoFX "Fan Mail"
Now here's another punk band that I feel really doesn't need an introduction. NoFX have been together since the mid eighties and are considered pioneers of the punk "scene." This song is actually a Dickies cover, the original being off the Dickies' album Dawn of the Dickies. Before NoFX released their fairly recent album Wolves in Wolves Clothing, they released 7" EP's for every month building up to the record to fans in the 7" of the Month Club. This was from February's 7IMC release.

Lard "The Power of Lard"
"Hey man, life is my college." Lard is a great band formed in 1989 by the collaborative minds of Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys and Al Jourgenson of Ministry. I can only describe them as a slightly industrial DK. They've never officially toured and have only played a handful of shows in San Fransisco, mostly openning for Ministry. This song's off the EP The Power of Lard, and it's hands down weird. Enjoy, this is my favorite Lard song.

Circle Jerks "Operation"
This is the best thing I've seen since Henry Rollins got nailed in the forhead with a beer can in Germany, not hating. The Circle Jerks are a punk band from Hermosa Beach, California. Formed in 1979, they made an impressive impact on punk rock as we know it. You might recognise Keith Morris (singer) as the original Black Flag singer. The band being plagued by haituses, guitarist Greg Hetson later went on to be in Bad Religion, which I'll touch on at a later date. This song's off Group Sex, the band's first album.

The Lawrence Arms "Hey, What Time is 'Pensacola: Wings of Gold' on Anyways?"
The Lawrence Arms are a three piece punk band from Chicago, deriving their name from the lower class apartments they resided in. Appariently that ended in eviction, but did they let that stop them from rocking? No, because eviction's about as rock and roll as it gets! The song here's called "Hey, What Time is 'Pensacola: Wings of Gold' on Anyways?" and it's from the album Cocktails & Dreams. I hope you guys enjoy these, expect a new song every day!
