I’d like to formally introduce two new writers for Late Night Wallflower, Lauren and Mike. If they ever find time out of their busy bastard schedule, you’ll see some stuff posted by them soon! Both of them are in the fantastic NJ-based punk band, The Measure (SA). If you like awesome bands like Fifth Hour Hero and American Steel, then you’ll love these guys. All you Gainesville peeps, be sure to check them out at The Fest!

While we’re on this train, few other friends of the site you should go check out:

My best bud Keith is currently ripping it up on the bass for South-Eastern PA’s Sincerely Monroe. The boys take the sensibilities and self-depreciating analogies of Brand New and mix it up with some old-school post-punk aggression. Passionate and cynical lyrics and frenzied breakdowns help put these guys a step above the rest. Trust me on this one, these guys are going somewhere with this. They just released their debut EP The Stranger and the Contortionist in July, so be sure to pick it up at http://www.merchix.com/sincerelymonroe/.

Also, finally. One of my favorite bands in the NYC area recently has been The King Left. The guys are currently shacking it up in the studio with Sammy Siegler to record another fresh batch of Interpol meets Echo And The Bunnymen style alt-rock. You can buy their first self-titled EP at www.insound.com. “Like Your Not My Trophy” is seriously so addicting, so watch out.
