Here's some stuff you should buy with the government's money... and by government money, I mean your money.
Solids - Blame Confusion (2014)
Solids from Montreal, Canada are just two dudes playing fuzzy music. It's a cross between emo fuzz and grungy garage rock fuzz. Like the kind of fuzz that you'd find being crafted in the basement at your local punk house. It's not too complicated to understand or get into either, it's just guitar and drums, a guy singing stuff you don't understand but you know it's in English, and it makes you wish you had a beer in your hand.
Poor-one-out-for-your-lost-homies rock.

Krill - Steve Hears Pile in Malden and Bursts into Tears (2014)
Krill is a band that actually did come to my local punk house. I didn't know it at the time, but once and a while these cool Boston bands I always rave about come up and play. Anyways though, if you like Modest Mouse, oddball vocals, or just some fun indie rock, Krill is a band you should check out.
The title to this EP, to the best of my knowledge, is a nod to another great Boston local band, Pile. Those guys also have a really cool 7incher you listen to on their Bandcamp.

Piglet - Early Songs (2013)
In 2005, a little band called Piglet released one of the greatest math rock gems of all-time, entitled, Lava Land. The album is a must-have if you are a fan of math rock with only gripe about it: we never got to hear more by them due to their break up. But here we are in 2014, where not only do we now have the live EP that has circled around the internet on Bandcamp, but we also have this little gem featuring 4 previously unreleased tracks.
With the likelihood of this band never getting back together, this is definitely the next best thing.

Boston Marathon Relief Mixtape
various artists - Boston Marathon Relief Mixtape (2013)
Another great chance to support Boston in a music related way!
This mixtape, curated by Allston Pudding - a Boston-based music blog - features even more music than The BIG Comp posted below. Fifty five more songs to be exact!
It's awesome to see so much support for Boston and how quickly people have responded to the events this week.
This mixtape of varying acts (that I'm familiar with at least) includes: Speedy Ortiz, Devil and a Penny, Mean Creek, The Box Tigers, Bearstronaut, Old Abram Brown, Royal Wedding, and even Maine's own, Brenda. Like I said though, there's a lot of music on this mix... 130 songs (that's like 7 mixtapes) in all. There's bound to new gems and discoveries. Donate and discover:
All proceeds go to The One Fund Boston!
