I have Landmine Beach and It's pretty good. All the comparisons and hype these dudes were getting in some reviews probably had me expecting a little too much. They aren't nearly as great as any of the other bands listed up there, but I'll be looking forward to their future stuff. Pretty much everything Dirtnap releases is good.

This band is great - as is Defect Defect.

Trig Palin should be on the cover of the first album they put out for Dirtnap.

Takers?
