- Landlord - Beneath The Wheel

I really feel this way. No snide comments please.
What band did you discover in 2011 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?
Pangea. Knew about em before 2011 but they made a great album this year.
How will you remember 2011 (in terms of music)?
I'll remember our (Underground Railroad to Candyland) October tour with Screaming Females and how Isaac (Arrivals) came walking into the club every night with his "get-up". Around 10pm every night, back at home, I keep expecting him to only be wandering around only to walk in with make up and a ridiculous jacket. Whadda great tour!
What can we look forward to from you in 2012?
New Toys That Kill album and Clown Sound 7" series (Bands: Landlord, Treasure Fleet, Pangea, Audacity, URTC, Lenguas Largas and more!)
What records are you looking forward to most in 2012?
Treasure Fleet album
What did you expect to be huge in 2011 which never made it?
The White Stripes
