Oh Glory, Oh Wilderness

I know there are people around looking for this, since it was supposed to be out 6 months ago. If you're not sure who these guys are, or if the name sounds familiar, Holopaw is an altcountry band who used to be signed to sub pop/friends with isaac brock, and now they're releasing another album with bakery outlet (i.e. new album sounds much better).

They're having an art competition on their website here, definitely worth a look (it's all better than the cover art they actually used)

This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb - Three Way Tie For A Fifth (2004)

Great folk-punk innovators from Florida. They started as a new wave band, but quickly changed their direction to folk-punk with heavy traditional country influences. They were signed with Planit-X records, a fairly prominent name in the anarcho-folk/folk-punk genre. They're real fun. This is actually the only full CD I have bought of theres. If I get more, they will be promptly be up here.
