Throw Your Friends In Front Of Moving Trains

This band kicks ass. They are called Junior Battles and are from Toronto. They are (assumingly self-) described as "Junior Battles is about connecting with the tiny, enthusiastic, sober 16 year-old buried deep inside each and every one of us" and I'm extremely down with that. Poppy songs that are fun to sing along to. I saw them without knowing who they were this year at the Shook Ones/We Are The Union show and was really impressed by them. They were tight and super funny and comfortable on stage. They were described in Alternative Press as a combination of Four Year Strong, Fall Out Boy and Hot Water music, which has to be the worst and least accurate description you could give this band. They are starting to get kind of big, so don't forget to start listening now for optimal scene points.

Seriously though, new EP for free here: http://www.ifyoumakeit.com/album/junior-battles/self-titled/

"Basements" is definitely one of my favourite songs so far this year.
