Columbus pop-punk trio All Dogs have just one release out, a split tape with fellow Ohioans Slouch. On the tape, All Dogs have five original songs plus a Muffs cover, but those few songs contain more perfect anxiousness and earnestness than some bands can get out in a whole album. “I want you, and you want me, but I will fuck it up, just wait and see,” sings Maryn Jones on one of the best songs here, “Love Song.” The tape is made by moments like that — sticky, sorta-emo one-liners that will most definitely be lodged in your head for a while, plus punchy drumming that is pretty impossible to not bop your head along with. It was released earlier this summer just before the band came to NYC to play the Salinas Records 10-year anniversary show with Swearin, PS Eliot, and Radiator Hospital; fans of those bands, take notice. – Liz
