Some rock to inspire your week
2009 is slowly turning out to be one of the greatest years for rock, punk and indie. I’ve been following amazing releases in the last couple of weeks and the next months look very promising.
I’ve been listening to the newest release from 311 – a song called “Hey You”. It’s a soft, jammy song with all the traditional features that made 311 famous. The song is great, but it’s nothing different from their old stuff. Anyway, it’s nice to see that 311 is back.

I’m also into the new Blue October album (Approaching Normal) that got nice reviews on almost every site I follow (except for AllMusic, of course). Here is a short sample:

Another band that has returned is Propagandhi. I have to admit I though I was going to be very disappointed with their latest album. However, it’s a very solid release and almost all songs are great. Punk is not dead!

Finally, I can’t wait to see what Thrice is creating so I started to listen to some of their old songs again. Today I was listening to “The Sky is Falling”, that is right here for your listening pleasure.
