New Music Friday Vol. 38

Blah! Maintenence workers in the house today means the podcast will be delayed, sorry. In fact, the NMF will be short today, as there just hasn't been that much happening:

- Checked out the new Stokes album, Impressions of Earth. Some of the songs take a more aggressive approach to what you'd expect from the band, but on the whole it plays out much like Room on Fire. However, many tracks come across with a more defined 80's feel, like the band has been listening to a lot of The Cars whilst writing this. Samples are available one their website (thestrokes.com) or check out the new single, Juicebox, at myspace.com/thestrokes

- The Epitaph records website has videos! And some really good ones too!! And you can download them!!! NOFX, The Descendents, Pennywise, Rancid, All, The Weakerthans, Bad Religion and a lot more. http://epitaph.com/videos

- The Plug independent music awards are now holding voting on their website. Head to plugawards.com and vote now (and yes, there are Canadian bands on the list)
