Garden, The - Haha CD. The Shears twins' 2015 Epitaph album of short, snappy two-piece punk songs, featuring 'All Smiles Over Here :)'. Raw, immediate, and direct.
Hippo Campus pare their sound back to taut guitar pop on Flood, a 13-track CD on Psychic Hotline. Songs like "Brand New" fold bruised confession into precise hooks; vulnerable, restless, quietly insistent.
Flipturn's Burnout Days folds road-worn scenes into bright guitar hooks and pulsing synth; the CD features singles 'Rodeo Clown' and 'Juno' in a compact, lyrical set.
