Archival project of the year goes to Tim Warren/Crypt Records for giving us more Real Kids than we thought we’d ever need, and we do need it!
Marked Men – On the Other Side LP (Dirtnap)
One of my all time faves with two unreleased songs – what’s not to love!?

Fucking great rock’n’roll!! That’s it!
Cheap Nasties – S/T LP (Hozac)
Unreleased pre-Scientists Kim Salmon. Lo-fi punkrock! Absolutely timeless!

Down under’s answer to Uranium Club maybe – but no copycats!

Amazing third LP from the band that gives NYC a face.

Just plain awesome garagepunk!
