Get Punked Pumped!

Hokay, summer is fast approaching and because of all the gorgeous weather we've been having I'm just super stoked pretty much everyday. The coffee I'm currently drinking could also be a culprit in my new found energy...but anywho, awhile back when I discovered iTunes was mucho better than Piece-of-Crap Realplayer, I started categorizing some songs into certain playlists. I made one called Get Pumped (no lie) and it's my go-to playlist for when I'm getting ready for a party or when I just want to, well, get pumped. So here are a bunch of my fave songs from that list for you to get stoked on yourselves. Chyeah, here we go:

*Note*: From here on out, I'm gunna put up songs with the name of the band first, just so all y'all don't get confused.
1. The Gaslight Anthem - We're Getting a Divorce, You Keep the Diner
(I'll make a separate post later just for these guys, 'cause they're super)
2. A Wilhelm Scream - Me vs. Morrissey In the Pretentiousness Contest
3. Saves the Day - The End

This Music is the Bomb

Alrightalright so here we get to one of my fave ska/punk-esque bands, Bomb the Music Industry. These guys like to say on their Myspace that they're from "part New York, part Georgia, part party". This is partly why they caught my eye a few months back, and also because of their quirky song titles such as "Ready...Set...No!!!" and "Does Your Face Hurt? No? 'Cause it's Killing Me!" Not only do these guys put a little hilarity into their song titles, they bring some kick-ass music to the table that gets me super pumped. So without further ado, I give you Bomb the Music Industry!
(In mp3 format).

Bomb the Music Industry - Ready...Set...No!!!
Bomb the Music Industry - Does Your Face Hurt? No? 'Cause It's Killing Me!
Bomb the Music Industry - I Don't Love You Anymore
Bomb the Music Industry - I'm Too Cooooool For Music
Bomb the Music Industry - Free Bird Free Bird

If you like these songs, they have all their full albums up for download on their Myspace.

Get pumped!
