Number 4

Masshysteri: Self-titled: LP (Feral Ward Records)
It comes as almost no surprise that Masshysteri would come through with yet another masterpiece of a punk rock record. Their debut from a couple years ago was nothing short of amazing. I guess when you add a member to an already solid lineup, things can only go up from there. Brooding punk with a brush of darkness just so that not every song sounds the same. There's a bit more of instrumentation on this album (synths, acoustic guitars) than before but it does nothing to dull the attitude or urgency of the music. Might I also say that these Swedes get my vote for "Best Looking Band" of 2010. Yes, I'm talking about the guys too. I'm comfortable with my sexuality...
