ALL EYES WEST - Three dudes that like 90's punk and post-hardcore playing 90's punk and post-hardcore. Think Fugazi meets Jehu meets Seaweed meets Jawbox.
BULLY IN THE HALLWAY - The Chicago post-genre quintet, Bully in the Hallway, unleashed their sophomore self-release, “Crooks and their Castles”, on December 1st, 2011 at Chicago’s famed Empty Bottle, where they opened for Dax Riggs (formerly of Acid Baths + Deadboy & The Elephantmen). After their successful and much lauded debut self-release “Apples and Sunshine” in July of 2009, the band is ready to show off their maturation. With previous acclaim from blogs such as Consequence of Sound, “The truly refreshing aspect of Bully is their tendency to stray from the “yawn” music that dominates the indie-charts of today... This Chicago quintet is most definitely punk rock and embraces comparisons to Fugazi and other staples of the genre.” And after a busy 2010 and 2011 opening for Titus Andronicus, Riverboat Gamblers, and Smoking Popes to name a few, the band is rearing for everyone to hear their complete and abounding style. The Onion’s AV Club calls the band, “a nice synthesis of East Bay melodic punk (like Samiam) with its Midwestern forebears (like Naked Raygun and The Replacements).”“...(the)fast-paced guitar work (and) the multi-fold harmonies are awfully nice... There’s an intricate sophistication to most of (their songs)... If they keep this up, we may be talking about this Bully in the same breath as another Chicago band with punk tendencies who can carry a tune, and that’s Rise Against.”
“The second coming of Naked Raygun?... Crooks is bursting with energy, excitement, and hooks. This only being Bully’s second full-length, the album proves that this is a band to keep an eye on.”
