Now it's time for the staff to play our unspoken game of "let's see who likes who's blurb most!"
(I don't know who wrote Paramore, but that'll win).

Also, I'll pretty much listen to anything these people recommend.

Either way I think JEW and Brand New are my most anticipated.

I've only recently found out about Coasta, but I'm loving what I'm hearing - any band opening a NGHBRS/HBSB show gets a listen.
(guess that gives away a few of my contributions to the list).

Ohhh, good call - there's just so, so much good music already scheduled this year.

I didn't write the blurb for it, but I'm really, really hoping that Balance & Composure makes a meteoric climb the way TWY did a few years ago.

Lots of highly anticipated stuff on here. Surprised at no mention of TDS though.

Is that surprising, though?

I know Panic are huge 3EB fans, but I didn't hear ANY kind of 3EB influence on the latest record. Like, at all. What am I missing?
Agree with you on the point that it had more lasting value than given credit for.
