I don't know how this week has been for you guys so far but it has been extremely busy for me.  Luckily I only have a couple more Christmas gifts to purchase and a couple of work related things to take care of before I can start to focus on 2007, so the craziness is close to ceasing for half a second.  Anywho, today I am bringing Partyline and their furious pop punks ways to your attention.  The band, which is made up of  Angela Melkisethian, and Crystal Bradley and former Bratmobile front woman Allison Wolfe, just released their debut album, Zombie Terrorists, on Retard Disco and I think that they will be one of the more talked about artists once the new year starts.  This is the perfect band to counter the fried brain that you probably have from studying all week, enjoy.

:Partyline - Trophy Wifey:  It may be simply because I am looking in the wrong places but I haven't heard punk music like this in a long time.  I admire the frenetic thrill ride that the band takes on you during the two minute runtime of the song but what really amazes me is how they never lose their accessibility.  Every line in the song is sing-a-long worthy and smartly written so pay attention to them when you give the song a listen, you won't be disappointed!

:Partyline - No Romantic:  "Don't hate me, let me love you."  I think Partyline could just focus on quasi-sociopolitical songs if they wanted but I really like how they take some time to branch out to songs that are easy for people to relate too.  This song is crazy short, coming in at 1:22, but it's so fun that it could be six minutes and it would still feel the same length, too short.  I really hope that punk music drifts away from bands like Fall Out Boy and more towards the vintage sound of Partyline.
