Desobediencia Civil - No Hay Libertad Sin Desobediencia


I stole this from another blog (well someone sent me the link which I stole) to put up on here. This is really fast, abrasive and angry Anarcho-Punk from Mexico. Very straightforward duel male/female vocals screaming into your ears. Hardcore fans of anarcho-punk will certainly dig this, those that want to check out a Mexican punk scene can start off with this.

Ed Warner's Cage and Rookie Rock Radio - Story 1 Split

The second split by by Ed Warner's Cage and Rookie Rock Radio. Really fast abrasive and introspective tracks done by both bands. You get more insight to Ed Warner's Cage before their full length Iera Anagrafh (which you can get for free on last.fm).

Sunrise.Sunset. - The Sacrifice Of Cupid

Very Chaotic and loud, abrasive and spastic screamo that's similar to Last Man Laughing. As far as experimental Screamo goes, the crown goes to Index For Potential Suicide, but this isn't so far behind. It's really scratchy and mad, totally psychotic. A little bit like Archeopteryx, but a bit heavier. Can't really say that much more aside from this is some mean skreamies.

Explosions InThe Sky - All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone


Since Ripping the City of Caterpillar Cd was so fun, I decided to do this one too. Bonus CD as well. A long time ago, I gave my 12" inch version of this away (Bonus Cd that came with it too) to some guy as a gift of some sort. Pretty good stuff. And now I know most of you don't like what I put up on this blog, but this is a really good album, instrumental stuff that they call Post-Rock (like you already know).

City Of Caterpillar - City Of Caterpillar


This morning I got up and was bored so I decided to try ripping one of my CDs using Mediamonkey Gold (the NOT free version, which is awesome btw) and this was the lucky winner. So here it is in V0, I'm sure there are plenty around the internet already, but WHO CARES?! You can update your 192 or V2 or whatever right now if you want, or you can skip out on this momentous occasion. Quite frankly, this is REALLY good, probably as good as this type of hardcore is going to get; better than Envy's Insomniac Doze and better than most things Circle Takes the Square will put out. But I think my time has passed with this recording. I don't like it as much as I used to, although I suppose it's not so bad. WHUTVR.

The VSS - Nervous Circuits Reissue


Pretty dark no wave inspired Post Hardcore featuring members of the band Angel Hair. You can easily tell they inspired a shit load of bands from their super sonic sound which includes (at times) noisy guitars, Synthesizers, Keyboards, and a megaphone. That's all I have to say, you should hear the rest for yourself (they had a lot to say)

The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower - If You Cut Us We Bleed


One day I'll be able to dye my hair blond and it'll be normal (again). This is a pretty good EP from a pretty sassy band. RIP Willi Graves. Living members went on to join/form The Muslims/The Soft Pack, Crocodiles and other bands. :)

This compilation reminds me of the time that I gave my copy of the Shivering/Funeral DIner 12" Split away to some guy for a ride to a backyard show. Good times.

Pack of Vipers - Demo, split with To Fester Within, 2nd Demo

Early 00's screamo with a dark tinge to it? I guess a lot of this stuff was pretty dark and moody in the early 00's (Rue Morgue, DoFH, ILM, Part II). Lots of instrumental parts and grooves that seque into complete shout fests. Pretty heavy too. Nothing screechy though. Give it a try, it's not mandatory, but seriously.. the gems are GEMS.

Various Artists - Emo In The Abyss


I'm going to say that this was a French MP3mo release, probably circulated around slsk or mp3.com. Lots of variety here, you find classic screamo songs by The Apollo Program, Gantz and Amanda Woodward, as well as more acts that have a total mainstream sound but were kept underground. It's pretty cool to see that at some time, stuff that sounded like A Static Lullaby was being mixed with more chaotic screamo stuff. Not necessary the best compilation, but still has its own hits.

A Rose For Ona - Demo

A mysterious and super long forgotten metalcore band. Nothing special and maybe a little derivative to a few of you, but try to fit into your girl jeans and rock out again like you did in 2002. This is from a time when stuff like Belay My Last and Underneath the Gun were trying out 16 year old bassists with fauxhawks, so maybe not 2002, but more like 2006. Anyways, I'm sure this demo predates that. I can compare it to genre snapping screamo like Dispensing of False Halo and myspace mp3 2 step bands like Judeah quite safely. Basically this sounds totally neat, but other than my own speculation I have no idea who this band is.

Heads And Heads




















Spanish screamo and some of the most perfect screamo I've ever heard. I only know them and Ekkaia, but that's 2/2 Spain.

Wellspring - The Divide




















I need to plug this. It's my friend Jon's new EP, and all that needs to be said is that the guy's a great musician and vocalist. It falls under the blanket of black metal I guess, but it's got a progressive tinge, kind of like Opeth... but that doesn't really do it justice, it's a very eclectic mix of many styles flowing together to say the least... like, there's post hardcore-ish breakdowns and such.

Title track is the best.

Here's his "single" track for a preview, as well as the teaser:
