Long Island's Iron Chic has an amazing album called Not Like This out now. You can get it as a donation-based download here . It's gruff but ultra-fucking-melodic pop punk that slays and that I'd recommend for fans of Latterman, Dear Landlord, and general awesomeness. Don't wait on this as it's easily one of my favorite punk albums of 2010. MP3: Iron Chic - In One Ear

Next up was Iron Chic, featuring members of Small Arms Dealer and Latterman, played a super fun, full of sing alongs that at one point drowned out the band. Rvivr from olympia WA, was next, with guy girl vocals and a raw and sincere pop punk sound that is highly addictive. Slingshot Dakota warmed up with a Empire State of Mind which got a few laughs in.

JOHN K. SAMSON - "City Route 853 (Anti-) John K. Samson, singer/songwriter/guitar player for punk laureates The Weakerthans, has dabbled with solo recordings previously, but they were low budget under-released affairs with material equal to that of the recording quality. But his latest EP, a 73 for Anti-, the label he records for with the Weakerthans, is a batch of solo material finally worthy of space alongside his band material. The three-song EP, rumored to be the first of several 73s about roads in Samson's hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, begins with "Heart of the [...]

It's kind of crazy that no film studio has yet to successfully adapted one of Dave Eggers' books for the big screen. Considering he's been a literary rock star since the release of his breakout memoir, 2000's " A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius ," it seems to reason that we'd have seen at least one of his books hit the big screen by now.
