I probably haven't been doing enough to keep those of you who don't go in for the heavy stuff occupied, huh? Well, try this. The Promise Ring is Davy von Bohlen's post-Cap'n Jazz, pre-Maritime pop punk/indie rock band. You might even label this "emo" if you're one of those people who doesn't actually know what the term emo refers to and label every pop punk band with a wimpy lead singer "emo". If you're familiar with Maritime (which you should be, I posted their newest album a while back), then you should have some idea what to expect. The man's a pop genius.

Maritme- Human Hearts (2011)
Been listening to this album a ton since I got it about a month ago. I still think Maritime won't ever be able to top We, The Vehicles, but this album has crept its way up into a tie for second, along with Heresy and the Hotel Choir. Anyway, more of the same from Martime, which means super catchy indie pop. Davey von Bohlen (ex- Captain Jazz, The Promise Ring) seems to have made a rather serious effort to step up his silly-ass wordplay on this album, which is always nice. This will make my top 10 of the year for sure.
