It's Friday, and if you live anywhere in the U.S., it's probably hotter than Satan's sauna. It's only June 1st, anyone still want to argue about global warming?

We've got a great batch of new reviews today, and hopefully the hyperbole has been kept to a minimum for those of you with more "distinguished" tastes:

• Against Me! released a 7" single, White People For Peace
• The tribute to hardcore legends Sick Of It All, appropriately titled, Our Impact Will Be Felt: A Tribute to Sick Of It All
• Split release between Shook Ones and Japenese counterparts Easel
• Showbread's 2006 effort, Age of Reptiles
• Several more over at the Punknews Review page
