My thanks to Slow Drift Year for sponsoring the website last week.
Their video for “Hear Me Out” showcases a bunch of shots from around Oregon that I recognize, and both tracks were mixed and mastered by Sam Pura. If your playlists regularly include Jimmy Eat World, Third Eye Blind, or The Dangerous Summer, this is an easy recommendation.

West Friends have released their new album, Junk Drawer, on all streaming platforms. The album is a marriage of the band’s pop-punk influences and crashes onto the scene with a gloriously loud, sarcastic, and secretly sentimental love letter to the pop-punk of our youth.
Jordan and Isaiah both grew up in the Pacific Northwest punk scene and cut their teeth in numerous bands touring basements, couches, and clubs across the west coast. While the theme (and sound) of the record play heavily on the nostalgia millennials all feel for the way things were, it also injects a new energy into the scene. With influences like Yellowcard, Four Year Strong, and blink-182 (of course), there’s bound to be a song on the record that reminds you of the sweaty, sun-burned mosh pits of the 2000’s Warped Tours.
Check it out on your favorite streaming platform and follow the band on Instagram or their website.
