Happy Friday! This weeks playlist is a story. It starts off poppy with some new tracks from With Confidence & Crooked Teeth,  slows down with The Story So Far & Youth Fountain, and ends with some metal singles from Counterparts & Quiet Fear.

It’s been an odd week but these songs capture it pretty well!

Friday 6-Pack...

Holy moly, it’s been a good week for some great jams! New, new, new The Wonder Years, Crooked Teeth, The Get Up Kids and much more! It is wild to see how far The Wonder Years have come. 'Sister Cities' marks The Wonder Years sixth studio album and a new direction for the band. From what I am hearing, a bit slower, more emotion, but still has a sense of DIY-Philadelphia grit that we have come to expect from the band.

California rocker's Crooked Teeth have also released new music this week, and I am calling it now, this band will be headlining shows across the country (and beyond) very soon. To my surprise, The Get Up Kids released new music and an upcoming tour - and it is precisely what you would expect from them. We also have some new tracks from The Overcast, Spanish Love Songs, and The Penske File. 

Give this Friday 6-pack a listen now!

Music Saves.

Listen, enjoy, and share!
