So now you know what we loved in 2007, but what is Music Sucks looking forward to in 2008? We, like possibly the rest of the planet, are rabidly awaiting the new Wolf Parade LP, which SubPop apparently promises us in the “first half of 2008.” Great. Thanks for narrowing that down. [...]
Here is some of the random spattering of music I have been listening to lately.
Pterodactyl (LISTEN) - Something a bit noisy, if you like Parts and Labor you may be interested. Their self titled and first release debuted in earlier this year.
The Tambourine Club (LISTEN) - My girlfriend calls it ‘bratty’ similar to but not [...]

Speaking of best albums, as you can expect and as you probably already have seen many folks have been releasing their year end lists. We here at MusicSucks are no different and are currently putting things together. Look for the [...]
Good music never gets old, here are some of the items at the top of my playlist of late.
The Willowz - Evil Son (LISTEN) from their recent release Chautauqua, which happens to me a subdivision near where I grew up but I doubt there is any relation. Don’t forget to check them out at the [...]
