it got more disappointing as the album moved forward, i'll admit i was too quick to recommend that one. and animals as leaders are awesome.
if you wanna check some more stuff out, try
cloud nothings (garage-ish indie alt rock)
the menzingers (same as cloud nothings but more upbeat and modern sounding)
the bare minimum (real garage punk stuff, some ok songs, some good ones)
balance and composure (more modern style alt rock.. post rock?)
polar bear club (just listen to them. the newest album w a different singer is more, uh, "fun?")
also, the new tokyo police club album is good if youre into that stuff. i'll bring it, i have to restring it.
oh and why not... more pop-punk stuff..
the newest fireworks and the wonder years albums are off the chain. also try the front bottoms and the swellers. <---- thats the kind of vibe ive been into lately. more windows-down summer stuff.
