Poisonous Times By The Old Haunts

Speaking of catchy punkish stuff coming off the West Coast (The Muslims are from San Diego), let's look north. I am talking about Olympia, Wa. (of course??), home of The Old Haunts. I don't remember when I first thought to post this, but it was a while ago (the album came out this past April). Anyways, if you don't know it, love it...

Listen: "Poisonous Times" (box.net mp3)

Former bikinikiller Tobi Vail is now drumming for The Haunts. They go through drummers faster that some joke metal band that was in some mockumentary a while back.

See No Evil (Television Cover) By We Versus The Shark

Athens, Ga.'s We Versus The Shark have a new album of crunchy posthardcore out this summer, Dirty Versions. They also have another album. It is a album of covers entitled Murmurmur. The tracks on Murmurmur are being released piecemeal on donation-based Quote - Unquote Records. It is scheduled to be finished in late 2008. One can't help but wonder based solely on the album title and location of the band... will they cover R.E.M.??

Here are two tracks:
"See No Evil (Television Cover)" (mp3)
"The Greatest Gift (Scratch Acid Cover)" (mp3)

More tracks on Murmurmur are available here.
