Both Before I'm Gone
Girl In A Coma is one of the latest bands to come out on Joan Jett's Blackheart Records, and based on what I've heard so far from this label I'm yet to be convinced that Joan Jett and Kenny Laguna can do any wrong when it comes to choosing young bands and producing stellar records.

Punk Albums of 2006
There have been a lot of great albums this year, and it was tough to pick out the best. For my picks, I focused on some albums from a handful of subgenres. Some are heavy, some are simply fun, but all of them have maximum replay value. If you got any records this year, these should have been on your list.
