Tugboat Annie / The Wicked Farleys Split 7`[ADB]

Note: I got this 7` free with Muddle #13. The Wicked Farleys are what i would guess is a emo band. I have never heard anything like this before.

Whippersnapper – The Long Walk / America’s Favorite Pastime

Whippersnapper-the long walk Released on Lobster Records in 1999, with 12 songs. Cost to me: free. The great follow-up to 1998’s “Americas Favorite Pastime”.

The guitar lines, as well as the bass, are killer. “The long walk” is a step up from “America’s Favorite Pastime”, both lyrically…

5 songs, self released, 99 Pop punk from New England. Good riffs, not much audible bass, and decent drumming on this album.
