I don't buy many new cds, but I just ordered several direct from Theory 8 records. I received Forget Cassettes' new album Salt for Christmas, and have been loving it. (I'll put it up in the streampad player soon.) Then today I was listening to their Theory 8 label-mates Apollo Up!, on their website, and they rock very much as well. So then I ended up at the Theory 8 site and just broke down and ordered a bunch of cds from both bands, plus one by The Sincerity Guild (check them out at purevolume or, sorry, myspace).
I'm going to try and completely avoid describing or reviewing bands here, since there's way too much of that clogging the tubes already. Besides, I think you get way more from 3 minutes listening to a song on a band's website than you get from reading Pitchfork. So there it is: I recommend these bands, and if you check them out I'd love to hear what you think. That's what the comments are for.
I have to stick this in here: here's a pandora station based on these bands.
Isn't this fun?

Wow, you are like totally blowing my mind.
Listened to a couple songs by Apollo-up. The first song sound to me like Fugazi or something but a lot more controlled. Then the next two tracks were more radio-friendly than that, I'm not sure what I would compare it to. Bottom line is: I think that they can rock.
