The Menzingers – On The Impossible Past
The Menzingers – On The Impossible Past Reviewer- Andrew Dolan The Menzingers are a band that you might be unaware of, if “On The Impossible Past” gets the recognition it deserves you will know and love them by the end of 2012.

John K Samson – Provincial
John K Samson- Provincial Reviewer- Andrew Dolan Provincial” is the first solo release from Weakerthans frontman John K Samson.

Hundreds- Song for a Sailor
Hundreds- Song For a Sailor Admittedly, I have never heard of Hundreds before taking a listen.

George’s Top 10 Albums of 2011
