The Jam - Beat Surrender [7"]

Typically a single that i came across in a second-hand bin, and thought "why the heck not". Couldn't go wrong with a classic song like BEAT SURRENDER of course, and i liked the cover. It's actually the first vinyl by THE JAM that i own, and might as well be the last since i'm not such a big fan of mr. Weller's work. But who knows... This song is great, though.

Fidlar - Fidlar [12", LP]

The self-titled debut full length by FIDLAR is an in-your-face snotty skate-punk outburst of songs about drugs, booze and surfing. Sounds a bit like Wavves (same attitude) but the songs are meaner and sharper. Think of a mix of Wavves, Blink 182, Motörhead and Zeke. The opening song (and hit single) Cheap Beer perfectly captures the spirit: I. Drink. Cheap. Beer. So. What. Fuck. You.
This one was not in my best-albums-of-the-year list last year, but it probably was 2012's best party album.
