I recently got the latest album Transmit! Transmit! from Tampa, Florida's New Bruises and although it was released about a year ago, it has been in constant rotation for the past week or so.
The band (like many of its peers in neighboring Gainesville) belts out heartfelt and emo-tinged punk rock in the vein of Hot Water Music, D4, and Digger. You know, catchy punk rock anthems that just scream, "Sing along with me," before they pummel you. The lyrics are also great and are clever and political without being preachy. And even though I generally despise long-winded song titles, I love the album opener "Homogenized for Mass Consumption or How My Youth Was Watered Down and Sold For Profit."
Transmit! Transmit! is solid from front to back and is totally worth your hard-earned $9. The band (notably) also features ex-members of Mid Carson July, Grey AM, and The Holy Mountain.
