Screaming from the heart of emo: Matt DeMello's Canaries for the Cauldron is a "truly unhinged" B-sides collection spanning doo-wop Sublime covers to banjo-clad LCD Soundsystem — wildly essential. Start-Track's Start the Track: Vol. IX donates proceeds to fight homelessness while delivering indie gold. The Darts' Topple Over Yesteryear wages vengeful punk fury against anti-punk regimes, while Memory Curse's Tug of Time offers a different kind of breakup record through melancholic post-rock.
