Now Hear This - The Best Music of 2006
Juliette showing the grrrl's how it should be done. This album proves she is not just an actress singing in a band. Punk Rock at it's best.4. Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam have been releasing albums pretty quietly over the past few years with a handful of memorable songs on each. Their new self titled cd brings back the energy of their early days with a punk edge. Pearl Jam have returned to greatness...
Self released hardcore, psychedelic, punk goth from Boston. Get it.
Electro, new wave, dance, punk...this one's got it all. The Rapture's best, most consistent release.

From Smother Magazine: "Armed to the teeth with throaty vocals and energetic guitars, Apollo Up! do the post-hardcore thing with loud results. This band has the goods and then some!" Check it.

9. The Killers - Sam's Town

10. Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
[G]arage-punk, teenage angst, loud guitars...
