the shitty limits' top 5 albums of 2009

So far, I am not really surprise to find some common interests in the top 5 lists from The Zookeepers, Let's Wrestle and Dananananaykroyd. Of course, there are bands on those lists that I have never heard of, but that’s why I love reading peoples’ lists—to discover new music (I am looking forward to hear more from Kylesa). Nevertheless, when I asked The Shitty Limits about their top 5 of the year, I didn’t expect to get an entire list of bands I have never heard of. Here is the list from The Shitty Limits (note that the band didn’t give me the actual titles of the albums and I had no luck with Google search either):


Love Triangle: first 3 7"s
Faults: debut LP
TV Party: 4th LP
Four Letter Word: 11th LP
Hygiene: 2nd EP


The Shitty Limits' loud and explosive album, Beware the Limits was #10 in my top 30 of 09 list; you can order the vinyl from La Vida Es Un Mus (UK/Europe/Japan/AUS) and Sorry State (Canada/USA) and in CD format from Boss Tuneage (UK/Europe/Japan/AUS) and Wallride (Canada/USA). Visit the band's MySpace here.



I am going to take a little break, but come back on Monday as Mr. Charlie Fink from my favourite band of the year—Noah And The Whale—tell us his top 5 of 2009!

the shitty limits: beware the limits

The Shitty Limits is a band that is not afraid to give away their music for free. On the band’s MySpace page, you can download a handful of 7-inches for free! What a great move! I probably would have missed out on this band if it wasn’t for the free downloads of Yesterdays Heroes and Limits Appear. Well, that’s probably a lie... I would have definitely wanted more after hearing their songs from their music player! The Shitty Limits plays DIY 80s hardcore punk style music, and their debut full-length, Beware the Limits, sounds like a mixture of Chronic Sick, Rites Of Spring, Gorilla Biscuits, and my personal favourite—JFA! I don’t know what more I can say, Beware the Limits is fast, loud, explosive... it is just a frakking great punk record! The Shitty Limits is for fans of 80s hardcore punk who are longing for something new and nostalgic. If you get a chance, download the two mind-blowing 7-inches I mentioned above for FREE here!
