Easy Wonderful (Universal Republic). Review by Sean Slone.

Yes Yes Yes (Parasol Records). Review by Carl F Gauze.

Let It Sway (Polyvinyl Record Co.). Review by Jeff Schweers.

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists wet an Orlando stage with the sweat of their high energy performance, but opening band Screaming Females were just as impressive for Jen Cray.

Alpha (Authentik Artists). Review by Sean Slone.

Now We Can See (Kill Rock Stars). Review by Scott Adams.

Dark Was the Night (Red Hot Organization). Review by Tim Wardyn.

Here Anonymous (Dangerbird). Review by Jen Cray.

A mind-boggler - not one, but two bands from Tacoma have been performing almost as long as rock ‘n’ roll has been on the radio. Is Pacific Northwest drinking water a fountain of youth? Steve Stav ponders such longevity in his review of the Fabulous Wailers and the Ventures.

Selftitled. Review by Carl F Gauze.

Jen Cray hoofs it to Orlando’s HOB, where she gets an amped-up dose of Ted Leo and the Pharmacists and sticks around for a satisfying Against Me! set.

Flashlights (self-assured/Team Clermont). Review by P. McEver.

Which Way Is Mine (Self-released). Review by Kyrby Raine.

Anthem In (Quiet/Loud). Review by Tim Wardyn.

Forgone Conclusion… (Broken Halo Records/In Music We Trust). Review by Tim Wardyn.

A Collection of Short Stories (Skyeyesea). Review by Carl F Gauze.

Noone thought that Ben Kweller had enough fans in Orlando to sell out The Social, but sell it out he did. It was a good thing Jen Cray got there early to catch the action.
