Motion City Soundtrack - Commit This To Memory
Their last album, I Am The Movie, was one of my favourites of 2003. The Moogs, singer's Justin Pierre's amazing vocals and their brilliant catchy riffs. Commit This To Memory was produced by Blink 182's Mark Hoppus and is one of the most anticipated punk rock records of this year. Expect more moogs than ever and you can download 3 of the tracks from Epitaph Records (below) and check it out for yourself.

Featured "past" music recommendation:

Head Automatica - Decadence [2004]
Glassjaw's Daryl Palumbo and popular producer Dan "The Automator" Nakamura team up as Head Automatica, which is just really pure disco fun, which might scare the emo fans of Glassjaw. I am a fan of Daryl's other band and I like this. Some is cheesy, some is just different, and there's a cameo from Rancid / The Transplants' Tim Armstrong on the track Dance Party Plus. Decadence is one of the most underlooked records of last year. Download one of the catchier tracks from the album, Beating Heart Baby.
