Incredibly laid back. Perfect music for those shitty finals.

Also, the drummer is crazy awesome.

Greyhouse- 1991-1997

Greyhouse were a pretty fuck awesome 90s emotive hardcore band that played music that sounded a lot like Hoover and Lincoln. If you don't know who Hoover and Lincoln are, then stop missing the fuck out and get some Hoover and Lincoln, and some Greyhouse while you're at it.

The Promise Ring- Nothing Feels Good

The Promise Ring put a smile on my face and make me feel good. If you know anything Kinsella, you know the sound.

Life Detecting Coffins- Catatonic Begat Napoleonic

This band shares members with Off Minor. Saying that, you must realize that this is very, very, very different from anything Off Minor, or Saetia from that matter has ever done. Regardless, it's still great music.

Caitlyn Bailey- Fuego!

For the life of me I can't stop listening to this. These guys are a pretty fucking talented bunch of dudes from the Philippines. And they bring the pain.

Born Against- The Rebel Sound of Shit and Failure

Fuck awesome NYHC. Features members of Moss Icon, Life's Blood and Universal Order of Armageddon.

Brain Banger- Yellow Belly

Side project from the bass player (I think) of Young Widows. A lot like Young Widows. Arguably better then Young Widows.

Lautrec

Lautrec is a really awesome screamo band out of Illinois with an impressive drummer.

really, really good drummer.

Rockets and Blue Lights

Rockets and Blue Lights are an incredible indie/emo band from Albany, NY that sadly are not as well known as they should be. If you're a fan of midwest 90's emo, or Kidcrash, then it is recommended that you download this.

Or just download it because I said so, since I'm always right, and everything on this blog rules.

Fire Team Charlie- ...And Everything Will Be Undone

I haven't posted this yet, and I am very sorry for that inconvenience. Fire Team Charlie is very reminiscent of 90s emocore and they do a damn good job at it. Some fantastic lyrics from this 3-piece and it's very disheartening to see such a talented band break up.

HORSE the Band- Desperate Living

HORSE releases a new album and it's as fucking zany as ever.

A Fine Boat, That Coffin!- The Second Nail

Some crazy (germans!) wack-job combination of screamo, mathcore, grindy-noise that sounds so much better then that shitty description I just wrote out. Some crazy rhythms over awesome lyrics.

Extra Life- Secular Works

My friend requested that I upload this. It's a pretty sweet album. Don't feel like describing it but you should definitely download it and listen.

Portraits of Past- Cypress Dust Witch

This is bigger then maudlin of the Well releasing a new album. If you like screamo at all it is damn near impossible to not appreciate what this band has done for the genre.

Rain- La Vache Qui Rit

Oops, seems I haven't updated this in a super long time. All my fault. Three major things have happened that have caused a month long absence of posting.

1. Community College
2. World of Warcraft (fuck me, I know)
3. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Sargeras&n=Beargarden
4. ^ That's my character, play with me.
5. I've seem to have gotten off track, I actually had a 3rd point but I totally fucking forgot it while writing this.
6. I've remembered that point, I also post on Slays for Days now.

I'm sorry for such the long delay in posting, as I'm sure there had to be one person who checked the blog occasionally for some awesome tunes (probably not, but it makes me feel better to believe that someone did.) So with the lengthy explanation, I offer you a complete gem from late in Revolution Summer that is often forgotten, Rain's La Vache Qui Rit. If you don't like it, fuck off.

Gifts of Enola- From Fathoms

Not the typical 'pretty' post-rock. It has distortion and it rules really hard.

download

more preferred place to download is from here though. the only reason i say this is because it's still free, but the band gets royalties off of each download, so it would be much better to download from that link because it helps the band make money.

An Embrace of Angels- The Graceful Art of Failure

Fucking awesome screamo from Sioux Falls, SD. All thanks go to Ryan (guitar) for uploading this album to the internet, for without him, this would be impossible to find. This album has a lower quality and doesn't flow as well as Ere' January Be Unwintered, but it still rules.

The Graceful Art of Failure

As a bonus, Ryan uploaded the artwork that Ere' January Be Unwintered would've had if it had seen an actual release. It comes with lyrics to the whole album.

Ere' January artwork

Damezumari

This band knows whats up. I wish they could secure a drummer though so they could go on tour and stuff like that. Apparently they have a new 7" coming out in September. Here is some of my favorite stuff by them. But really, like best emo band ever material.

Split w/ Fire Team Charlie

The Nightmare Scenario Discography

This is something fucking special. Late 90s emotive hardcore/screamo. Guitar work and drumming is incredibly and the spoken word vocals contrast incredibly well with the screams. Lyrics are amazing as well.

Demo

Heartbroken and Hungover

Fall of Efrafa Discography

Crust that slices off heads straight from their necks. Heavy as fuck with no fucks given. They're breaking up because they have finished out the trilogy they set out to create, damn it. Their earlier stuff is more crust and it becomes a lot more atmospheric post-metal as their dicography moves on. The links go in order with the trilogy.

Have A Nice Life- Deathconsciousness

I really can't stand shoegaze, but fuck, these guys did it right. I can go on and on about how much I love this album and how much it rules, but I'll sum it up all in one track:

Waiting for Black Metal Records to Come in the Mail. That track seriously slays.

Kidcrash Discography

Kidcrash are quite possibly the best band to ever come out of the genre of emo/screamo/whinyfaggotbullshit. Next to City of Caterpillar and Damezumari, they're one of the best ever. Here is everything that they've released so far, in order from favorite to least favorite.

Heavy Nugs and Heavy Chugs (Split w/ L'Antietam)

New Ruins

New Ruins is really pop-punk and stuff, and it's from a time when the band was known as "The Kidcrash." After getting fucked over by Lujo Records, they dropped the "The" from their name and became even more fucking badass.

Killie- Afterall, The Opinion Of One In A Hundred Million will Not Reach Anyone

Japanese version of Off Minor. It rules.

Pre-Converge Kurt Ballou. It sounds a lot different from Converge.

Sailboats- Demo

It's really a shame what death can do. Sailboats created a 2 song demo and while on tour two members of their band died in a car accident. The drummer now plays in Loma Prieta.

In short, this band fucking rips. They only have 2 songs, yet have close to 40,000 plays on last.fm.

-download-

Four Hundred Years- The New Imperialism

Four Hundred Years were a pretty awesome, and underrated, band from the 90s. This is my favorite release by them. It sounds like a pretty mellow screamo/post-hardcore/punk combination, and you can definitely hear a Fugazi influence.

But then again, who the fuck hasn't been influenced by Fugazi?

City of Caterpillar

If there is anything you ever fucking download from this blog, it should be this post. City of Caterpillar is the greatest fucking band to ever exist. I will live by those words forever.

*Shels- Sea of the Dying Dhow

If anyone tells you *Shels sucks, do not respect their right to live and breathe, kill them immediately. Same goes for yourself if you in fact don't like *Shels. A beautiful blend of post-rock and metalcore.

I mean, even the cover art fucking rules.

The Newfound Interest in Connecticut- Tell Me About the Long Dark Paths Home

I can't say I've been enthralled to even bother listen to a post-rock album in a long time. Most of it is just the same shit of build-up (usually with lots of delay), climax, decrescendo: repeat. This album really has a different feel to it. Some of the songs are much longer, lighter, instrumental, and give off a nice refreshing post-rock vibe. The vocals are more jagged then typical post-rock vocals.

And then out of nowhere, this album becomes much more post-hardcore. I can't say it was a super large shock, or it stayed a long time, but it was really nice to see these two genres get a mix together.

I still don't have any interest to download any post-rock album, but this album still provides a fresh breather of air.

Damezumari/Fire Team Charlie- Split

I may have been a little brash in my last post saying that that Split LP was in fact the greatest ever made. In all reality, it's the 2nd greatest, 2nd to this.

Fire Team Charlie and Damezumari are both emotive hardcore bands that really push every emotion they have through their instruments. It stirs something inside me everytime I listen to it, and is probably some of the greatest shit ever made.

Also, Mind Implosion is pretty much the greatest fucking track ever.

By the End of Tonight/Tera Melos- Complex Full of Phantoms

Two really fuck awesome math rock bands get together and make a split lp that takes the biggest shit on any other split lp. ever.

but really, it's impossible not to enjoy this.

Daniel Striped Tiger- Certain Stuff

When I first heard their cd Capital Cities, I wasn't really that impressed with DST. But someone lit a fire under this bands ass, because Certain Stuff rules.

Haram- Drescher

Members of Majority Rule and City of Caterpillar join up and make some 'mellow' post-hardcore. This is their second release, but really, this band rules, like any band would that has ex-members of pg.99.

Listen to this or enjoy being shunned by me.

the Pax Cecilia- Nouveau

The first three songs on Blessed Are The Bonds may be better (hell, those songs fucking stomp), but this whole album together blows Blessed right out the fucking water no problem. Not easily as pretentious as Blessed (god, the fucking Water Song) and I actually enjoy the writing on this album better then Blessed.

Oh, and England: Theatre of the Air is just... damn. wow. This is one of my favorite albums ever and rightfully so.
