quickattack (September 1, 2011)

Some really great stuff on this list, but I think the Tigers Jaw/ Sidekicks split and that Basement record have been getting the most attention from me.

kelly_d (September 1, 2011)

backed

karliscool (September 1, 2011)

Prawn is unbelievable

Cheesetits (September 1, 2011)

I feel like I've been gone forever, and I haven't heard this Fall Out Junior Battles Boy, but it's catchy. Tops though? Meh.

wyld_stallyns_rule (September 1, 2011)

I would have flipped this list straight upside down. Credentials would be at the top of the list. Sidekicks are great, as usual, and the Banquets/Mayflower split cassette is really, really good. Two awesome groups on fancy pants tape.

nick_s (September 2, 2011)

The split is good, loving the album too.

Drifter is really, really good too.

wyld_stallyns_rule (September 2, 2011)

I haven't listened to Drifter yet. Really, I haven't honestly given Heartsounds enough attention. Maybe they'll be my next project.

paulsilence (September 1, 2011)

Did the TMNT Pizza Hut album make the top albums list back in May or so?

RedScare (September 1, 2011)

Junior Battles came out in July, yo!

cheesecakemafia (September 1, 2011)

i thought it came out a decent while ago. the snippet under the headline on the main page had me confused.

cheesecakemafia (September 1, 2011)

holy shit snippet is an awesome word.

MuhammadMormon (September 1, 2011)

Well, a combination of two great things (Snickers and Muppets), so it's gotta be awesome.

killtaker (September 1, 2011)

#2 should be #1

Milhousegoestocollege (September 1, 2011)

Saw Junior Battles open for The Flatliners/Anti-Flag/Bouncing Souls in Toronto back a few months ago for NXNE, Junior Battles played a pretty sweet set (minus the guitar player's crappy banter)

literamaniac (September 2, 2011)

No sign of the Black Kites/Convulsions split. Someone needs to review that album or I will. And I'm not a good writer.

exitenglish1208 (September 2, 2011)

junior battles deserves it, that record is amazing. i was so underwhelmed by andriano's album which is kind of a bummer though
