It’s overwhelming with all the promotional crap and amount of epic event popping up here and there to decide what to do. Here’s a another bunch of tracks from bands that have impressed me so far and I may check out while I’m trying to figure out what I want to do next.

I’m back, well sort of, I have got to get going to the Red Bull Soapbox Race here in San Francisco. But I have a few things to share with you real quick.
Breakbeat wizard, Grum has released a new dance inducing track appropriately called, “Woah.”
Grum – Woah
The Far show was one of the best I’ve ever witnessed. I never realized how important this band was to me until that night. It was life changing.

Far – Mother Mary (Live)
Here’s The Boxing Lesson’s new Halloween-ish video for their song “Brighter”. Enjoy!
Since the fall of Failure back in 1997, it’s been difficult to find a band that can live up to they’re haunting yet rocking legacy. Well it seems as though Austin, Texas’ The Boxing Lessonhas come pretty close. With their Pink Floydian spaciness and their willingness to let loose like a rabid version of early Wilco, it may surprise you that a band like this could go by unnoticed. Their latest record, Wild Streaks & Windy Days, is a trippy ride through guitar-god influences and mid-nineties indie rock. Lead vocalist/guitarist Paul Waclawsky channels Ken Andrews and Roger Waters as bassist Jaylinn Davidson and drummer Jake Mitchell provide the sonic landscapes that give The Boxing Lesson their unique sound. Make sure you catch them on their short tour around Texas and the west coast.
