Marvelous Darlings

What's a Friday without some new music? We're thrilled to bring you new songs from Toronto–based power pop / `77 styled punk band the Marvelous Darlings. The band features one Ben Cook, better known as Young Governor as a guitarist in Fucked Up and former frontman of hardcore act No Warning. Despite the hardcore credentials, these cuts should easily appeal to your inner Exploding Hearts superfan.

Head to the band's Punknews.org Profile to check out three tunes. We've got the A–sides from the I Don't Wanna Go To The Party 7", recently released on Deranged Records, the upcoming Wall Ride Records release The Swords, The Streets and the upcoming Pelado release Teenage Targets.

Scott Reynolds (and the Steaming Beast): “Adventure Boy”

Today we've got another new stream from Suburban Home Records. This one comes from Scott Reynolds (and the Steaming Beast). The band is fronted by Scott Reynolds, former vocalist of ALL and the album includes performances from Flaming Lips' member Steven Drodz, multi–instrumentalist Dave Fridmann, and members of Drag the River, the Pavers, Bleed for Me, and Bonesaw Romance.

Drag The River: “You Can't Live That Way”

Earlier this month, Alt–country supergroup Drag The River released their final album, You Can't Live That Way. The band features alumni of ALL, Armchair Martian and Hot Rod Circuit. Their label, Suburban Home, was generous enough to provide us with a full album stream of the record and you can check it out on their Punknews.org Profile.

Broadway Calls: “Broadway Calls”

On March 18, 2008, Adeline Records will be reissuing Broadway Calls's self–titled debut. The album earned praise from our reviewer who noted: " bold sing–along–able choruses, subtle hooks, and an overall diverse set of songs "

Well, today you can check it our for yourself. We've got a full album stream of the reissue, and you can check out the entire album on their Punknews.org Profile.

Lemuria: “Get Better”

About a year ago Lemuria was featured on Punknews as an "Editor's Pick." In the year since the trio has released some limited vinyl, a collection of said vinyl and taken the time to record an LP's worth of material. We're proud to bring you the stream of said LP, Get Better today.

Lemuria mixes abnormal song structures, indie rock melodies and punk aggression into a formula that's all their own. Completing the mixture with a blend of vocals from all three members, the band stands out amidst their peers as being original and invigorating.

NOFX: “They've Actually Gotten Worse Live”

Today, NOFX will be releasing their second live album, They've Actually Gotten Worse Live. It's the sequel to I Heard They Suck Live which was released more than a decade ago. We managed to trick Fat Wreck Chords into giving us six live songs from the album using a combination of tin foil and a flashlight and we're happy to bring you the proceeds of this ingenious deception today.

You can check out all six songs on NOFX's Punknews.org Profile..

This Is Hell: “Infected”

Today we bring you the premiere of "Infected," the lead track off This Is Hell's new 7", Cripplers, which is due out tomorrow. The 7" collects one new song (this very one), two unreleased tracks (one of which is "Double Grave," an assumed re–recording of a song on the band's 2004 demo), and three covers (CIV's "Do Something," the Movielife's "I Hope You Die Soon" and Beastie Boys' "Fight for Your Right").

This should tide you over while the band prepares to unleash their recently finished full–length, Misfortunes, on February 19, 2008 via Trustkill. They released Sundowning in 2006.
