The Eruptors “Bad time to be having a good time” is the first release for this Ireland based band with a release date in the early months of 2008.

This release was a pretty fun listen too with quirky fast songs with a traditional punk rock and roll sound with a bit of UK style rock added into the mix which always adds something to a bands sound for people in North America.

The album is fast with a few really good songs that really stand out (One minute decision). I will admit though that I like nearly all their unreleased demo songs then about 1/2 of the songs on this album. It could be that the album I received was a pre-release without nearly as many songs as the release did so I might not be hearing every song that is on the album.

All in all “Bad time to be having a good time” is a great album to check out. I would rather see them live though because it seems like the album dosen’t grab the full power that this band would carry live.

Sound and Fury’s self titled album is set for release in June (June 26th). This is the first release for this Toronto based band.

This self released album is a skull rattling intense album that will get you singing along and stomping your foot. Every song on this album is full of energy and straight up rock and roll. These guys can get anyone to rock with them at their shows with all the power this album holds. Their live shows are entertaining as the band seems to go out of control when they play.

You will be able to check these guys out at Warped Tour this year (from what I understand at least) and should be one of the bands to check out. They are by far in the top 10 bands I will be checking out this year.
