Punk music is getting good again.

Exhibit A:

Jay Reatard.

Clockcleaner (keep your eyes on these guys — ’07 is gonna be their year).

And my personal favorite, Evil Army. Yeah, they’re kinda metal, but so what?

The new Andrew Bird makes a fine come down from all the slashing and bashing.

I think I’m gonna go home now and watch the rain through the window of my studio. Isn’t that romantic?

Got something to say?

  1. thanks for the Andrew Bird recommendation. Yahoo music has 3 albums including the new one. I’ve been listening to them today.

  2. Yeah, it’s good stuff. I like the new on a lot more than his older albums, but that’s just me.
