All the Small Things: Top Singles, E.P.'s etc. of 2013


If you missed our Best Albums 
of the Year list, please go HERE!



Our second BotY list covers all the releases too short for that "Best Underappreciated Albums That Rocked 2013" (see HERE). Once again the list is a little punk/pop-punk heavy due to the fact that both genres worship at the altar of brevity plus I'm old and set in my ways. For more musical awesomeness



(All artist name links go directly to a homepage - or some such thing.)

The New Trocaderos - Money Talks/The Kids CD single
Geoff Palmer & Kurt Baker form their own Rockpile!




Jeffrey Lewis &The Rain - WWPRD EP
An ode to Pussy Riot from the New York ant-folk cartoonist/singer-song-writer Jeffrey Lewis.




Teenage Bottlerocket - American Deutsch Bag 7"
A German language original, a fun throwaway HC song and a Tony Sly cover from Wyoming's finest.




The Livids - (Some Of Us Have) Adrenalized Hearts  EP
A return to gunk-rock glory from Eric Davidson, formerly of The New Bomb Turks.



7 Seconds - My Aim Is You/Slogan on a T-Shirt 7"
Who-oah it's a comeback for Kev. & co.




Science Police - You Are Under Arrest In The Future EP
The Name Merry-Go-Round that the members of The Steinways have ridden since the band broke up five years ago (See Skinny Genes as well), makes for some bewilderment but ultimately the ride brings us a shitlot of great lo-fi and low-self-esteem pop-punk.




Bad Religion Christmas Songs EP
Bad Religion have been doing Christmas songs for years in live settings ("KROQ"S Agnostic Christmas") but till they recorded this fierce set of traditionals you had to track down bootlegs to hear them!




Young Rochelles - Cannibal Island E.P
Y'like hearing a juvenile phrase sung repeatedly over chugging guitars with a strategic key change? God, I do.




Anchovy: Get It Wrong EP
Did I mention The Power-Pop?




Barracudas - God Bless the '45 7"
A class of '79 band gets back on the board and 




The #1's S/T E.P.
More Songs About Chocolate and Girls from Ireland!


The Blendours - Here We Go Again split EP
C'mon "I Was a Teenage Drag Queen" is a good song title AND a fun sing-along, a combination at which The Blendours just rock!



The Slow Death - No Heaven EP
If Crimpshrine had moved to Minneapolis to get Paul Westerberg to produce their album of Merle Haggard covers, it might sound like just a bit like The Slow Death.
