I've been into Hot Rod Circuit ever since their Vagrant days, when i saw them open for the Get Up Kids more than 5 years ago in Hartford. The short bursts of emotive pop from their first Vagrant album Sorry About Tomorrow introduced me to them, and i became hooked on their earlier stylings as well - supremely tight power pop that will always have a place in my CD collection. They sort of fell off with Reality's Coming Through in my opinion, and i didn't even realize they [...]
O ne of the bands that I had the pleasure of seeing over the weekend at the Warped Tour was New Haven, Connecticut's Hot Rod Circuit . The band played old favorites as well as a number of songs from their stellar last album The Underground Is A Dying Breed as the crowd gladly soaked in the sun and the sound.

This week's Contrast Podcast theme has to do with planets and other celesital bodies. The contributors scoured the vastness of space to bring you excellent planetary tracks. Even ex-planet Pluto was included in the bunch. I must say this week's podcast is by far my favorite one so far. Not only for the tracks from the other contributors (I especially like the Moonbabies' "Stars of Warburton" and Ash's "Girl from Mars"), but also beacuse I had way too much fun going through tracks to decide what to submit. I seriously had no shortage of [...]
