These guys are great. They’re catchy. They’re Canadian. I missed both bloody shows last summer when they hit Ireland as part of their Euro summer dates. Today’s track comes from The Most Serene Republic. I’ve featured them on the podcast a few times and keep going back to their tracks for more (well worthy of the repeat listen). The track itself, Present Of Future End, can be found on Playlist Mix 7 and also features in the intro/outro tune for the podcast.

Glass Manacle Records has had a few good releases on the books. Advocates of podsafe music, today’s track surfaced about two years ago and made it on to Playlist Mix #6. It’s ‘Better Off Before’ from The Primary Lines of Toledo, Ohio. Redundant of late, the band “formerly The Fall Out Effect, is a band that combines elements from alternative, punk, pop, hard rock, and hardcore genres into an original and intriguing sound.”

Just because they don’t exist doesn’t mean it’s not worth listening to. Get some punked up rock into your Monday with this podsafe freebie.

The fifth of 46 tracks for your lenten listening comes from Low Sea Roar, featured on Playlist Mix #5. San Francisco’s Low Sea Roar was formed in the wintry throws of January 2007 over beers and burgers at the Zeitgeist by Andrea Caturegli, Jake Hosek (both formerly of The Stratford 4), Adam Hain and Brandon Tomas.

Though featured back in late 2007, it’s looking like they’ve been fairly quiet or non-existant since mid to late 2008. Still, they did have some pretty good tunes and you can still grab a listen on their MySpace or download ‘Sirens’ below.
