V/A,
Ground Zero Hardcore NYC 2013 LP compilation - Solid all the way through. Stand-out track is the Deformity one for me, but I also really liked the tracks by Perdition and Black Boot. Never heard of any of those guys before this. Still not feeling Goosebumps, and Crazy Spirit sorta phoned it in here. An unlisted Hank Wood and the Hammerheads track at the end is a nice touch.
Birds of Maya,
Celebration LP - A-side ("Picnic") is among my favorite things I've ever heard by the band. B-side ("BBQ") heavily features harmonica, which isn't really my thing, but it works OK. Going to get a lot of play this summer.
Weed,
Gun Control EP:

Level Trust EP:
http://cascadia.bandcamp.com/album/level-trust-ep - a coupla 90's indebted rockers from Vancouver (I think). Cascadia's a little more dreamy, Weed's a little more anthemic, both are drenched in reverb. Sounds good to these ears. Apparently they're touring together this summer and hitting Madison, something to look forward to.
