Lifetime
"Seven Inches"
(Black Cat/Temperance)

Some of these songs appeared on the Lifetime compilation, "From the Swamps of New Jersey," that Jade Tree put out a few years ago, but for me, a Lifetime fan, I felt that the comp was a little overwhelming with both the official version of "Background," as well as the demo tracks. It just seemed so needless. This pre-Hello Bastards release compiles all of Lifetime's seven inch songs that followed "Background" and has a really great version of Billy Bragg's "A New England."

Boysnightout
"Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses"
(One Day Savior)
At present time, they seem like they're on a bit of a hiatus, but Ontario's Boysnightout is one of the hold outs from the early 2000's screamo explosion that actually evolved and turned into a much, much better band. Listen to their last two records "Trainwreck" and "Self-Titled" and you'll find it's a far cry from the metal-cum-pop-punk sound of their debut EP "Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses." There are some tracks from their first LP, "Make Yourself Sick," that appear on this EP, but these earlier versions are much more raw.
