Barely Blind’s The Way We Operate is full of pop punk goodness that instantly hits your ears with “Life On Wilson Street” and continues through on “The Way Out.” Dueling vocals, bouncy bass and all the catchy pop-punk guitar riffs your ears desire are included in this package. The Way We Operate was produced by Punchline’s Steve Soboslai, which couldn’t have been a better fit for this album.

I’ve been listening to way too much lately. Stuff sticking out on the un-signed front comes from The Real You(think Acceptance meets Ivory) and The Thief. And if you’re into electronic-ish stuff, Murfreesboro, TN’s Mr. Satisfaction has totally been rocking my world. Best party music ever. Awesome live show, too. New Archie Star and All Time Low songs are up and amazing, too.

Barely Blind posted a contest where you can help promote their new CD and get a chance to win an autographed poster. They also posted a new song from The Way We Operate, out August 28th on TDR Records.
