Jimmy Eat World – “Big Casino”

Jimmy Eat World – “Big Casino” / 2007 Interscope / 1 Track / http://www.jimmyeatworld.com / Jimmy Eat World has been a band that has impressed me (“Lucky Denver Mint”) and disappointed me in the past (changing “Bleed American”’s title).

The GoStation – Passion Before Function

The GoStation – Passion Before Function / 2007 Self / 10 Tracks / http://www.thegostation.com / The GoStation sure love their Oasis, don’t they?
