Wugazi

2012-01-15T22:09:00.001+01:00

Straight outta Minneapolis, Wugazi brilliantly combines D.C. legends Fugazi with iconic hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan. It is a labor of love by Cecil Otter & Swiss Andy. A year’s worth of cutting up every imaginable Fugazi record and trying out every Wu-Tang acapella they could get their hands on, resulted in Wugazi: 13 Chambers (a must listen for anyone who even looked at a skateboard in the 90’s).

Band's Request

Flawless is a four piece DIY Pop Punk / Melodic Hardcore band from Springfield, MO (aka Pizza City) that sports a more energetic take on their 90’s emo contemporaries. Influenced by (and in the vein of) Lifetime, American Football, Jawbreaker, and Texas is the Reason, it’s safe to say that the dweebs in Flawless wish it was 1997 and Polyvinyl Records was still as relevant. Flawless’s 1st EP entitled ‘Something I’ll Never Miss’ debuts December 17, 2011 on OurBlock Records. Expect lots of weekend tours soon, and a few long summer tours in the summer. Go Bears!

Lunatic Soul

2011-12-22T12:54:00.001+01:00

Lunatic Soul is the solo project of Mariusz Duda, vocalist and bassist of Polish progressive rock band Riverside. The eponymous first (black) album was released on October 13, 2008. For the album, he enlisted the help of several friends from different bands such as Quidam, Indukti and Riverside. In stark contrast to his main outfit, Lunatic Soul contains no electric guitars at all and can be best described as a mix of ambient and progressive elements - Duda himself calls the sound “oriental-alternative”. The second (white) album was released on October 25, 2010, a continuation of the sound established on the debut. In 2011 he released his third album "Impressions", which still gets very good reviews and opinions.

Spook The Horses

2011-12-21T12:18:00.004+01:00

Spook the Horses are a heavy post-rock band from Wellington, New Zealand. The band formed as a four piece in 2009. Zach replaced Callum as drummer in 2010, and the group started arranging and finalising tracks for their first album, 'Brighter'. The band layers three guitars, synthesiser and samples with bass and drums to create monumental songs that are at once saturated and spacious. Desperate vocals sparsely punctuate the mostly-instrumental tracks. The album expands upon the textural sonic landscapes familiar from Spook the Horses’ live shows.

Comadre UPDATE!

2011-12-07T01:56:00.000+01:00

Comadre is a band from Redwood City (a suburb of San Francisco), California, comprising of former members of Heartcrosslove, One’s Own Ruin, and Light This City. Their sound is an off-shoot of hardcore and punk played fast and chaotic with an abundance of energy, but also a large focus on melody and tunefulness. Their influences can perhaps best be shown by the covers the band has performed live, by groups such as Rites of Spring, Refused, Kid Dynamite, and Suicide File.

Great stuff - so much better than the first one, which, by the way, is also very good.

WOW! This is probably the greatest of my discoveries of this year! EP from 2009 is sooo awesome! I't quite nice how somebody write about it on lastfm: "To break the cimmerian shade of an album based around sleep and its emboss to the natural world a dynamic had to be created, a wall of density given breathe and firm grip around melodies unable to wander. The expected sprawl of soft, then loud, then back to soft was sacrificed projecting a new luminance where the strength was in the tiny twisting light that exhales from the EP as a whole." I have listened new LP only few times, cause... I'm totally in love with EP! LP have to wait. Something for fans of Immanu El, Biology, Moving Mountains... Band is for sure worth to check!

Meniscus NEW!

Meniscus’s lush ambient soundscapes, driving bass lines and poly-rhythmic beats create a unique musical experience that has been hypnotising Australian audiences since 2005. The Sydney trio’s unique brand of instrumental post rock blends the moody dynamics of acts like Mogwai and Sigur Rós with the prog rock technicality of King Crimson. The critical success of the band’s 2007 EP "The Absence of I" elevated Meniscus’s profile globally with rave reviews from The Silent Ballet (“Beautifully crafted and impeccably conceived. …very good doesn’t quite sum this up, it’s amazing”) and Sputnik Music (“Meniscus have a wizardly sense of dynamics, songs flowing with the purity of water…technically brilliant and tightly composed”).

FareWell Poetry is a collective of Parisian musicians and an Anglo-saxon poet and filmmaker. From indie to modern classical to drone and shoegaze, spoken word and experimental film, FareWell Poetry represents the pooled influences of its core members and passionate collaborators. The band's richly arranged songs seek out subtle and luminous climaxes, the hypnotically simple melodies falling away like scaffolding to reveal a complex structure narrated by a haunted voice drumming out a dark poetry, echoes from a deep well.

The band’s interest slowly changed to the howling wall of Post-Rock noise and melody and thus settled on this very sound in late 2006. Since, then they have extensively toured the east coast and have received widespread attention and public recognition. They finally released their highly-anticipated debut album, Silver Daydream in early 2008 and have been regarded as the pioneers of the new wave of Post-Rock bands in China. For their second album, Asian River in 2010, they 45moved to the Maybe Mars label. Probably one of the best Chinese post-rock bands. For sure worth to check!

La Dispute also carries a firm passion for the relevance of a live show, both for the bands involved and for the people in attendance, and will go to the grave believing that the environment created when strangers come together despite their differences to celebrate one important thing is invaluable and should not under any circumstances be taken for granted.

All Shall Be Well (...) are an instrumental indie band from Haarlem, the Nederlands. They build on themes, thresh out their melodies and slook for unsuspected harmonies. Their music is highly associative; they liken their music to stories rather than songs. To have total control over their compositions and follow their DIY philosophy, All Shall Be Well (...) set up their own studio. It is in this studio that every song as it's completed is being recorded, uploaded and distributed. The band sees transparency as a great virtue; they release all their music through the Creative Commons, making it accessible for all to experience, share and create endless renditions.

Halo Of Pendor

2011-09-14T15:34:00.000+02:00

Halo of pendor, a one man project from Gothenburg, Sweden. His music is a combination of experimental, sensitive and melancholic sounds. This one man is Daniel Öhman, mainly known as a member of post-rock band Ef, and few more bands like When We Fall or Gentle Act Incident (and I think one more, but I don't remember the name of it at the moment). The Halo of Pendor project was born in the Spring of 2006. Having grown tired of spending all of his musical life in rehearsal studies and on the road with various bands, Daniel thought it was high time to make something of his own creativity. Halo of Pendor was created as a sort of sanctuary for his long pent up musical ideas.

Abuse

2011-09-10T22:08:00.007+02:00

Band's Request

Abuse was founded in 2010. Abuse employs chaotic song structures, vivid soundscapes and unapologetic fury to transport the listener into a justified mural of a decaying world. One can expect an imminent drowning within their sea of misanthropic imagery alleged through intimate choral and frantic vocals. Guitars that scream fervently alongside a hailstorm of percussive wrath which leaves the listener constantly unsure of their own equilibrium. These young men are a force of verdant turmoil that adamantly defies categorization.

Circle Takes The Square NEW!

2011-09-10T21:08:00.006+02:00

Circle Takes the Square (often abbreviated CTTS) is a band from Savannah, Georgia, USA. The band formed in 2001 as a four-piece and after their first two releases they lost a guitarist but gained another in late 2004. What listeners tend to notice first about the band is the loud screaming of both male and female vocals that often function in a kind of call and response. Skillful, chaotic drumming coupled with intense, highly technical bass/guitar work have served to separate the band from most others in the screamo genre. Highly diverse song structures (from meditative, droning intros to crushing choruses) have also assisted in carving their unique niche.

Jeromes Dream were an influential Connecticut screamo three piece, active from 1997 to 2001.

The band was known for playing very short sets, usually no longer than 10 minutes. According to Smith, they thought 10 minutes was all they needed to get their point across.

Cursive is an indie rock band from Omaha, Nebraska, United States. The band record for the label Saddle Creek Records and, along with Bright Eyes are one of its flagship artists. The band was formed in 1995 by Tim Kasher, Matt Maginn, Steve Pedersen and drummer Clint Schnase. Cursive consist of delicate guitars that erupt into frenzied explosions, a rhythm section that consistently keeps each track barreling forward, and the harrowing vocal contributions of Tim Kasher, who have such a powerful and characteristic voice. Kasher is a storyteller, a weaver of songs that can read more like short stories or fables than the standard verse-chorus-verse. Undoubtly, Cursive's one of the best indie rock bands of all time.

3/5ths of the New York screamo band Saetia formed Off Minor after Saetia broke up in 1999. The line-up consists of Steve Roche on drums, Jamie Behar on guitar, and Kevin Roche on bass. Perhaps what makes Off Minor so special is how much noise they are able to get out of 3 instruments, whether it be in the form of chaos or beauty. Combining both in the same way Saetia did, Off Minor represents the true emo scene, a difficult blend of elegance and brutality that when meshed together forms something truly amazing.
