And here we are at the end of 2011. If you had told us a year ago that the things which transpired this year were coming, we would not have believed you. While for much of the year, and much to our frustration, music had to take a back seat to real life, that only increased its importance to this writer. Cross-country flights soundtracked by Broken Shoulder . Getting up to speed mornings listening to Rival Schools . Quiet weekends with J Mascis , summer vacation with Algernon Cadwallader and The War On Drugs [...]

Gli ultimi giorni dell'anno sono giorni di classifiche. Questi sono gli album che ho ascoltato di più, sono parecchi perché quando ci son da fare delle scelte non riesco mai a decidermi. Non c'è un ordine, ho aperto la cartella della musica scaricata quest'anno e ho copiato e incollato i nomi dei dischi che son stati la colonna sonora del mio 2011, tutto qui. Come al solito puntando la copertina vengono fuori nome del gruppo, titolo dell'album e cliccandoci sopra si arriva a qualcosa da ascoltare. Divertitevi. [...]

Well, rock fans, it was a really strange year, one in which we personally and professionally -- and, yes, even to a certain extent here on the blog -- accomplished a great many big things. And all the ups and downs -- transcendent live sets on local stages, solitary post-midnight walks across frozen parking lots in the midwest -- had their soundtrack. Below are our picks for the 10 best songs of the year. These, as usual, are largely determined by our raw ITunes playcounts, although we also gave a little more weight to recent releases that would have been [...]

[* We accidentally deleted this post from late December; here it is in all of its glory once more. -- Ed.] Well, rock fans, it was a really strange year, one in which we personally and professionally -- and, yes, even to a certain extent here on the blog -- accomplished a great many big things.

Top 10 of 2011, easy. The explosive joy, kaleidoscopic melodies and desperate energy that are the musical hallmark of Philadelphia-based contemporary emo superheroes Algernon Cadwallader tethers the trio's magical sophomore set Parrot Flies to a familiar musical center. The evergreen nature of these core components make for reliable building blocks; while many acts cut figurative corners and compose crap with figurative straw or sticks, Algernon Cadwallader 's shit is constructed with brick, built to last. That the core components of the band's sound were first forged by superlative second-wave emo standard-bearers Cap'n Jazz [...]
We get sent so much great music to us here at GFP HQ and we've always been frustrated that we don't have time to cover more of the wonderful songs/albums/bands we get sent on a daily basis. In an attempt to counter this annoying fact, we've devised this simple and terribly-named new feature. In short, each week we will post up streams of a few of our favourite new songs that have surfaced over those seven days. Sound good? Cool. So let's begin. Kick off your shoes, put your feet up and [...]

The Philly trio Algernon Cadwallader has amassed a devoted and diverse fan base both in and outside of the city. Their music is nothing groundbreaking, but it's angsty yet very available emo that can be pretty fun. The scream-along vocals overtop pop-rock melodies draw large crowds to the group's frequent (and, often, far away) shows. In fact, the band is about to embark on its second European tour in a few weeks. Overseas adventures aside, the group has been blogging about tonight as their "actual homecoming" show. Algernon Cadwallader performs with Joyce Manor, 1994!, and Snowing at 7 [...]

(Self released, 2011) RIYL = Cap'n Jazz, Jenoah, early At the Drive-In This isn't a huge reveal, but I'm pretty obsessive about At the Drive-In. In particular, their first full length, Acrobatic Tenement . It's a surefire top-ten-albums-of-all-time for me. So when I first heard Algernon Cadwallader's debut, Some Kind of Cadwallader , a couple years back, I was immediately smitten. It feels, aesthetically, to be strung together by the same Scotch tape, string, nimble guitar work and emotive screamability (read: 90's emo) as Tenement . And, [...]

First off, big props to my buddy Tony over at Dead Booking Industries for throwing what I believe is his biggest show to date. On Sunday, I rushed back home from NJ and made it to the First Unitarian Church, and it was immediately apparent that the show was sold the fuck out (bought tickets early this time... no BTMI repeat for me.)Algernon CadwalladerI've seen these guys before open for

This past weekend, I headed out to an undisclosed location somewhere in the city of brotherly love to celebrate the coming of spring, and what better way of doing so than doing it with a secret hardcore punk show with Paint it Black.I let my friend borrow my car, so I was reliant on public transportation to make the show, and so I wound up only catching the very last song by locals Cobra
