I’ma make you bow down

7. MONSTER TRUCK - TRUE ROCKERS

1. Young City Hearts, 2. True Rocker, 3. Evolution

I turn everything up until it breaks
I know who I am
...A True Rocker

8. MXPX - S/T

You're in the kitchen
In the goddamn refrigerator 

9.  PALE WAVES - MY MIND MAKES NOISES 

 1. Drive, 2. There's A Honey, 3. Noises

Is it all in my head, what they said?
I'm not feeling too good

Is it all in my head, what they said?
I'm not feeling too good
I would cry if I could

 

10.  ALKALINE TRIO - IS THIS THING CURSED?

1.  Goodbye Fire Island, 2. Throw Me To The Lions, 3. Demon & Division

It's been around for years
And every time my boat's about tits up
That goddamn thing is near

 

 11. BRIAN FALLON - SLEEPWALKERS 
 1. My Name Is The Night (Color Me Black), 2. Etta James, 3. Forget Me Not
 

Would you put your black dress on

And visit my bones?

And bring my football top

and a scarf for the cold.

Playing melancholy songs that somehow made us... 

feel a whole lot better.

 12.  JAGGER HOLLY - LAST OF THE INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOYS
1. It Ain't Over (Til' I'm Sober), 2. Bree Olsen, 3. Party Tonight

I'm having a party tonight
Yeah, you're all invited
I don't wanna hear about your kids
cause I'm over it if you really got to know
