Dare Dukes & The Blackstock Collection – “Thugs and China Dolls”


Record Label: Starland Records
Genre: Folk
Band Link: www.daredukes.com
Buy on Amazon.com

Slightly jangly folk that goes at an unhurried donkey’s pace, “Thugs and China Dolls” has some unexpected gems. If you can get past the vocals that are simultaneously high, nasal, and mealy-mouthed, the lyrics are smart and the simple banjo-and-drums accompaniment can be cute.

MXPX – “Plans Within Plans”


Record Label: Rock City Recording Company/Flix Records
Genre: Pop Punk
Buy On Amazon

I’ve always liked MXPX, but they have slipped off of my radar for the longest time. Well, it’s been five years since their last album so I’m sure they have slipped off of a lot of people’s radar since then.
