Thrift Store Ransom – “Thrift Store Ransom”
Thrift Store Ransom started as an RPM project, and turned into a full-fledged “thing” that wound up being picked up by Rhode Island-based record label, “75-or-Less.” Not too shabby.

She wrote several of the songs included on the effort, including “Moonshine,” one of the year’s finest penned tunes, hands down.
Nate Laban & Sam Hill – “Nate Laban & Sam Hill”
Nate Laban is simply the best punk-folker on the planet. His brand of music is somewhere in the vein of Elvis Costello hanging with the Clash – pumping out jam after jam. “Nate Laban & Sam Hill” does not venture away from that recipe at all.
