I've been living in a cesspool of mediocre music lately thanks to all these lovely submissions I keep getting, and Yoni Gordon came along a few days ago to pull me out of the pit. Get this: the man is the living reincarnation of the not-dead-yet Ted Leo. He must get sick of the comparison, but it's unbelievably true.
Punk rock (I'm talking about the music, not the ideology, angry-comment-leaving people) lives on despite the modern heresies of "pop punk" and emo on one side and extremists of hardcore ____ and ____core (fill in the blank) on the other. I'm talking 70's punk, angry and head-bobbingly good.
