Pegboy - Strong Reaction (1991)

Awesome skate/melodic punk from the early '90s. Super catchy without being cheesy and repetitive, this album is one of the best punk albums I've heard in a while. Definitely worth checking out.

Between the Buried and Me - The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues (2011)

Pretty much anyone who loves BTBAM/prog metal is going to love this new EP. Just doing what they do best.

The Replacements - Let It Be (1984)

Just a classic. If you don't have this, then get it now.

Lungs - The Two Chief World Systems (2010)

Fast and thrashy melodic hardcore from Sydney band Lungs. These guys have supported pretty much every major international punk band in the past few years, so I'm surprised they haven't gotten a larger international following by now. Check it out.

The Hated - No More We Cry 7" (1985)

Radcore '80s punk/emocore (whatever the fuck that means) from Annapolis, Maryland. Fits in nicely with the whole Revolution Summer in retrospect, even though they weren't really a part of it. Fuzzy and rad and all the jazz. This best be checked out.

Circle Takes the Square - Circle Takes the Square EP (2002)

The first EP from Savannah, GA band Circle Takes the Square. Just as good as their album debut As the Roots Undo, the band does what they do better than anyone else. Even though their new album is pretty much another Duke Nukem Forever, I'm still keen as mustard.
