Time To Heal

One of the few bands whose set I caught at Fluff Fest this year was Time To Heal. Friends had told me before that this could be up my alley, and they sure were right about that. The band from Stockholm played a really good show on the tent stage. For a band playing an afternoon slot they got the tent going pretty good. What I saw convinced me to pick up a record in the merch tent and lo and behold they even had a special tour press. I really dig the colour of this record as well. It doesn't show that well in the picture, but it's a really nice dark blue with a touch of green. Time To Heal has the sticker game down pat as well.

Demo '08

Iron Chic has become one of my favourite bands these last years and slowly but steadily I've managed to pick up most of their records. One release that had eluded me for a long time though was their demo. It's highly sought after and usually goes for an amount of money I wasn't willing to shell out. Luckily YoYo Records decided to repress the demo for the last tour. I couldn't make it to any of the shows, but a buddy of mine was kind enough to pick up a copy for me.

D.C. Disorder

New band on Youngblood Records, I guess from Washington, D.C. Didn't find out a whole lot about the band, but I like what they're doing on this 7".

Bleed American

Another record that was long overdue picking up. The first Jimmy Eat World record I got in touch with back when it came out. The Middle was playing every time in the local indie disco (like in any other indie disco around the world most likely). I can still enjoy this LP after all these years.

2 Songs

Well, you get what is advertised. Two songs by The Evens, another band I've meant to check out for a long time. There are a few people who apparently can't do any wrong musically. And at the top of the list is Ian MacKaye. Whatever band he's involved with, I like the music. Admittedly, I haven't listened to all of his bands, but the ones I'm familiar with I'm really into. The Evens is no exception.

End Hits

Another trip to Berlin, another Fugazi record. Slowly but steadily I'm filling that gap in my collection. Most recent repress of Fugazi's 5th full length LP.
