ColorChromatic- Spirals

It's really jazzy and screamy and shit.
I don't know why you guys expect a good description of music from me.

The Huguenots- Discography

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.

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

Funeral Diner.

*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.
