The Atlanta-based Black Lips are at their finest on this live set. Recorded in Tijuana, this is the greatest live album I've heard in years. The Black Lips have a sound that mixes classic Ventures-style Americana with psychedelic and punk rock overtones. Their vocal harmonies and lyrical sensibilities are wild yet in some ways delicate, and they certainly struck a chord with the booze-soaked Tijuana audience which provides an incredibly deep ambiance throughout the album. They shine as a live act, and this was an outstanding night for them. It's a good thing they remembered to hit the record button. Vice Records

A must-have compilation from smaller releases by the brothers Kinsella and their incredible band of gypsies. Cap'n Jazz got together in Chicago in 1989 and became extremely influential in the mid-90's. According to Wikipedia, they were partially responsible for "shifting emo's stylistic characteristics from post-hardcore prog-punk to more accessible pop-punk leanings". I disagree (and vomit when I read that sentence), because I can't foist any responsibility for the pop-emo nightmare of today on a band of such style and skill. Nevertheless, their music certainly does blend emo and punk. In fact, I put this band right alongside Empire State Games as the only acts I've heard do so and remain unfuckwithable. Elm Tree Records

This is the comparatively polished studio debut of a Tokyo heavy pop band, upped to celebrate the October 1st release of their new album, Transworld Ultra Rock. (Rock rag Kerrang! called the new release “Jane’s Addiction interpreted through a lo-fi Wildhearts perspective". Niiice.) After coming on to the scenes with a handful of 8-track bathroom recordings (notably Slayer's Bay Blues.. anyone got it?), Electric Eel Shock started touring the U.S. Apparently they liked it; they never quit. In 05' and 06' EES's popularity skyrocketed as they toured with American crass-pop act The Bloodhound Gang. EES's live show makes this album pale in comparison, but enough of the wild energy gets across to make it a compelling listen. EES.com

The full-length debut of this LA duo takes a punk aesthetic in a hip, low-fi direction and the results are interesting. Weirdo Rippers is a compilation of highlights from a 5 EP series released this year on 5 different labels. The band has been a full-on live presence since April, and is involved with the DIY scene at LA art spot The Smell. Upset! the Rhythm

Jay is getting huge. He's one of the strongest young voices in punk today; you might recognize his voice from Lost Sounds, Angry Angles, or, naturally, The Reatards. He's based in Memphis now, and I'm told that his new act lives up to the Reatards' legendary stageshow, which got them famously banned from many European venues. On his recent new project, he combines his murderous guitar riffs with his Buzzcocks style faux British vocal attitude. The result is a filler-free disc full of melodic, creepy, and compelling punk rock. Missing Link Records
