7-Inch Corner: J-Church

For this week’s edition of the 7-inch corner, we pay tribute to the late Lance Hann, leader of J-Church who passed away early last week. Being down at the Fest this past weekend, Lance was definitely on the minds of many. Many shows began, ended with or featured some sort of commentry about Lance and the contributions he made to the scene we were all apart of that weekend, along with all the standards he helped maintain. I’ll admit, I was always a casual J-Church fan but the stuff I do have, I really dig. An example of this is the split between J-Church and Off With Their Heads entitled the Grin It And Bear It EP.  The two songs are examples of the type of pop punk that Lance Hann will forever be enshrined for. It also contains one of the best covers I’ve heard with their rendition of Snuff’s “Too Late.”

Everyone says Lance was one of the greatest people you could have possibly met. I may have never had the pleasure but we’ll always have the music to discover his messages. RIP Lance.

7-Inch Corner: Papermoons

Yeah, I know I’m not Matt, but whatever, I’m just as cute. Boys and girls, welcome to the latest installment of Late Night Wallflower’s 7-Inch Corner!

So I got this lovely in the mail with in blue splattered vinyl, and having heard good things about Papermoons in the past, decided to give it a spin.

The “Papermoons” 7-inch (Team Science) is four little songs from Houston’s favorite folk/country/pop duo. Side A’s “Honesty” and “California” are, in my opinion, the best of the four and totally blow me away. It’s the end of October now, but putting this on and hearing Matt and Daniel sing soft but incredibly powerful songs that just tug at you from the inside totally reminds me of summer nights, sitting and drinking beers on a porch or in the woods. I definitely recommend this bad boy. Along with some friends, fireflies, and a six-pack to make your nights kick ass.

7-Inch Corner: The Get Up Kids

So I’ve decided to go the solo record route with this week’s 7-inch corner. This week, we focus on late-90s emo favorites The Get Up Kids. I am an unabashed fan of the band and will defend every record in their catalog, at the risk of being called the evil “e” word. But seriously, the boys did put out some quality records during their stretch. For now, we’ll focus on two of their earliest songs.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to annouce a new column I will be updating every Thursday here at LNWF; The 7-inch corner (Ta-dah!).

So follow after the jump for the first edition of the 7-inch corner, with Government Warning’s Arrested and Dillinger Four’s More Songs About Girlfriends And Bubblegum.
