A little while ago, I posted about the awesomeness that is One Percent Press. One of the bands associated with the label that I shamefully neglected to mention was Red Delicious, an awesome alternative-indie trio, featuring members of such great locals as Failures Union and Mallwalkers. The songs are catchy as hell and bring me back to a time when all I seemed to listen to was Husker Du, Gin Blossoms, and the Replacements. Not that they necessarily sound like any of these bands. They're doing their own thing for sure. I especially dig the male/female interplay between vocals. Anyways, their self titled debut release, a 5 song cassette, was just released and I highly suggest you check it out. You can get the album for free here or go check out their bandcamp page. The album is also available at Spiral Scratch for $5 if you want a physical copy to call your own. You'll be pleasantly surprised by what you hear.

How did I not know about One Percent Press? Some of Buffalo's best indie, alternative and punk rock bands have released albums on this label and they even release comics! I blame myself. Anyways, it would do you best to head over to their website or bandcamp and see what they have to offer. My recommendations: White Whale, a fantastic, uber melodic punk band thats been milling around these parts for a couple years (listen to a track below), Buffalo's answer to the Gin Blossoms, Failures Union or Tin Armor, an alternative band whose sound they can only call their own. Support your DIY artists and supports the local scene. And while you're at it buy a comic book. One Percent Press.
