The Cold Beat: 'Get Safe'

Our stream today comes from Allston, MA power trio The Cold Beat in the form of their new full-length Get Safe.

Our reviewer Joe Pelone described the album as "Containing flecks of punk and alt-country and falling somewhere in between the Replacements, the Get Up Kids and late-period Nada Surf, the group's new record Get Safe is a breezy, infectious listen. It's catchy mood music." Judge for yourself at the band's Punknews.org Profile.

The Arteries: 'Dead Sea'

Our stream today comes from Swansea, UK-based the Arteries. We've got a stream of the band's new full-length, Dead Sea. The record drops today in the UK and is headed for a digital and vinyl release in early 2011 via Paper and Plastick.
