My Vinyl/Wax/Frisbees

Gob: Foot In Mouth Disease

I accidentally stumbled upon Gob with this album. I hate the cover art, but this is great early 2000’s pop punk.

The Front Bottoms: In Sickness & In Flames

This is a little more serious version of the band that I enjoy. It’s not pretentious and still has great melodies.

The Front Bottoms: Talon of the Hawk

After years of putting off this band, I finally gave this album a listen and I really liked it. It’s a fun listen with a unique singing style.

From Autumn To Ashes: Too Bad You’re Beautiful

I remember a friend playing this album for me when it was first released. I wasn’t really a post-hardcore guy at the time but this album really connected with me.

Foxing: Draw Down the Moon

This was Foxing’s “chill album”. It’s not bad, but I wish it had a little more energy.

Foxing: Nearer My God

This was when Foxing started getting very weird-but in a good way. This album is indescribable. Check it out, if you’re looking for something very different.

Foxing: Dealer

This album sounds quite different from their last album and similarly to Brand New, every album afterward would sound completely different. I love listening to this album when I’m hiking or in nature. It just has that vibe and really connects me.

Foxing: The Albatross

I saw Foxing play with Manchester Orchestra and I was fascinated. They had an emotional sound, but it was somehow more intricate than most. This album is fantastic.

Four Year Strong: Analysis Paralysis

This album blew me away. It made me go back and really give their last 2 albums another listen because of how good this was. I’m a bigger fan of Four Year Strong now, than I’ve ever been.

Four Year Strong: Go Down In History

This EP was one of the last releases by Four Year Strong that I really enjoyed until Analysis Paralysis. The two albums in between have grown on me since then, but I haven’t picked them up on vinyl yet.

Four Year Strong: In Some Way, Shape, or Form

At the time this was a very controversial album. Many people said it was too ‘mainstream’. I personally loved it. I’ve heard that the band doesn’t care for the way it was mixed, but I really think there are a lot of great songs on it.

Four Year Strong: Enemy of the World

Here’s another classic from 2010. I remember the faux feud Alternative Press promoted between Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals. The good news was we got some great music from these two bands whether they were competing or not. It felt a bit like The Beach Boys vs The Beatles, each band trying to one up each other.

Four Year Strong: Explains It All

This is one of the best cover albums in the genre. If you grew up on 90’s radio, you have to listen to this album.

Four Year Strong: Rise or Die Trying

I remember hearing this for the first time and I had never heard anything quite like it. This was a different brand of easy core. This is a classic now.

Forever Came Calling: Retro Future

I was kind of disappointed in this EP. It felt like the band was just getting better and this felt flat and then they seemed to just stop.

Forever Came Calling: What Matters Most

I think this is FCC’s best album. The lyrics and music are fantastic.

Forever Came Calling: Contender

This is great 2010’s pop punk. I miss this generation of pop punk. Some of the bands are still together but this era was their peak for me.
