Hot off the press release:
Here at AbsolutePunk.net, we like to start the waves and then float in them. This is why we are back with our second installment of The Absolute 100, an annual collection of our favorite lesser known bands.
The list is released in waves. We were floored to make it.
The first batch (1-25) features Person L, Beach House, Foreign Born, U.S. Royalty and - oh baby - Two Shots of Rye.

Why We Like: Listening to this band is like listening to Brooklyn in the summer. The sound is scratched, stripped, and rough enough to sound like a DIY singer/songwriter, yet still fun and poppy enough to sing along to like the latest glossy pop-punk band. It's good music, and that's all that matters for this small band that seems primed to win over a huge audience.
RIYL: Elvis Costello, Third Eye Blind, Brand New"
