Haven't heard of hardly any of these. I heard that Baroness' new album rips, I might check it out.

Though there are some ridiculous band names....it seems like run-on sentences are fashionable these days. To call your band by.

Seeing the Swellers on here got me pretty stoked. Some good stuff on here. Good list considering it's from AP and they are required to cater to at least 50% scene bands

Regardless, I like how this is mostly comprised of bands who put out a breakout debut album last year, and thus won't do much this year.

Portugal. The Man is pretty good,even if their name does suck.
Also, Cloak/Dagger are really good.

I might be wrong but I seem to remember Portugal. The Man being on like the bands to look out for in 2007?

The Flatliners are pretty average. No idea what everyone sees in their crackwhore-ska-meets-dillinger four combo.
