Stephen Steinbrink

This week's new discoveries from the great beyond:

1. Joyce Manor: Never Hungover Again (Epitaph, July 22) 

Nineteen glorious minutes of hooky, immaculate pop-punk for emotionally stunted grown-ups like me.

2. Stephen Steinbrink: Arranged Waves (Melodic, July 14)

This über-sharp pop-folk gem is finally available. Like Real Estate but less boring.

3. Twin Peaks: Wild Onion (Grand Jury, Aug. 5)

If you're sleeping on the Chicago garage-rock scene, you're missing out. These youngsters are the cream of a very healthy crop.
