August Playlist

Here is a collection of songs I found myself liking the most in the month of August. Sadly, no Antwon "Sittin in Hell" is to be found on the youtubes. Fear not-- the remainder of my favorite songs of the month still get it in. Enjoy.

Metz

Metz is your infinitely-cooler older brother's favorite rock band. The Toronto outfit is signed to Sub Pop and their album drops early October.  Stay drunk off this until then.
