Borrowed Beams of Light – Borrowed Beams of Light EP

Genre: Indie Pop
Year: 2010
Location: CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia
Label: Self-released
Myspace:http://www.myspace.com/borrowedbeamsoflight
Website:http://www.borrowedbeams.com/

01. You Have a Sun!!!
02. Thousand Year Power-Nap
03. Party at the End of the World
04. John, at the Reception
05. Kids are Great!!!
06. Rewind

My latest artist submission comes from Borrowed Beams of Light out of Virginia, self-described themselves as “TWO DUDES, FUSED TOGETHER, IN A TOTALLY 80s WAY”. This self-released EP is chock-full of super bright indie pop created by two (hopefully) happy dudes. The singalong melodies in “You Have a Sun!!!” and the ultra-pop tune “Kids are Great!!!” are just one more reason to get pumped for summer! Check out some of their other sweet write-ups on blog friends Weekly Tape Deck and Get Off The Coast. Keep a close eyes on these kids, I have a feeling I’ll be posting more of their music in the future.

Holy Fuck – Latin

Genre: Experimental, Electronica, Instrumental
Year: 2010
Location: Toronto, Canada
Label: Young Turks
Myspace

01. MD
02. Red Lights
03. Latin America
04. Stay Lit
05. Silva & Grimes
06. SHT MTN
07. Stilettos
08. Lucky
09. P.I.G.S.

After 2007′s amazing LP, three straight years of tours and festivals, and a lineup finally in-stone, Holy Fuck come back in 2010 with their third album, Latin. Before I say anything about the album itself, let it be known LP was a favorite of mine for a long time and Latin is already beginning to pass it. I thought it was going to be extremely hard for them to top their past effort but they have seemingly done it with ease. The biggest change from LP is that Holy Fuck have definitely developed a more mature and serious tone for Latin, assuming hundreds of shows and a finally steady lineup have helped that. That’s not to say they don’t have anymore dance epics like “Super Inuit” and “The Pulse”, the album still pours them out. Tracks “Red Lights” and “Latin America” still show Holy Fuck at their best, along with a much fuller sound than I think they have every hit before. Latin will be out early May and you can preorder it from Beggars Group in the US, and Rough Trade in UK, and it will come with a CD of four non-album tracks! Sounds like a deal!

VA/ HELLO SIR

Label: Hello Sir
Year: 2004

One day Mr. Double Jimmy James Joyce will no doubt give this release a proper write-up over on his Beyond Failure blog, as it features the work of three Athens (kinda Atlanta), Georgia bands who were active in the recent past.
Until that day, you are stuck with this write-up, which could end up containing fart jokes. You never know.
The label Hello Sir has a stranglehold on Athens based math rock/moody indie/angular post-punk of the Aughties, so it should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with these bands that they would be showcased via this label. The bands I am alluding to are, Maserati, Cinemechanica, and We Versus The Shark. You may have never heard of these dudes (and one dude with a vag), or maybe you heard of Maserati in relation to the unfortunate passing of their drummer Jerry Fuchs, but you should have heard of them. If you are a reader of this blog, you should have downloaded the Atlanta "New Noise" compilations that I made and posted awhile back, because two of these bands were on there. But, maybe you missed that, and maybe you need to know what you're potentially getting into here.
Alright, I'll tell you.
Maserati play the most layered and subtle of the three bands. Their songs are big languid droning pretty pieces that float along on shimmering guitars, propelled by a driving rhythm section that keeps shit moving. It's never boring, in fact it's compelling, which is kind of a weird way to describe music. As in, what is it "compelling" me to do? Listen longer? Hmmm, I need to work on my music journalism.
Cinemechanica play more "mathy" math rock. It sounds like it could have been belched out of some Louisville bar circa 1990, and that's a compliment. Start/stops, wiry guitar lines, and off-tempos, you know what I mean, right? There are some shouty vocals thrown in to switch things up.
We Versus The Shark are the heaviest of the three bands, and their music should appeal to most readers of this page. It hits all the right notes, and it's a shame they haven't made more of a stink outside of Athens, because they rule pretty hard at what they do, and what they do rules pretty hard.
So there you have it, a nice little compilation of under-appreciated rock bands. Not too many of those out there huh? I hope you enjoy it.
Oh, and here's that fart joke I promised:
What did the maxi-pad say to the fart?
You are the wind beneath my wings.
Hey-oh!

Someplace to Hide:Saintly Not Ghostly!

Someplace to Hide was a 4-piece screamo band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on Dead City Records that formed in 2002 and broke up in 2007 after they released this LP titled 'Shouting, "Saintly Not Ghostly!"'. I was just browsing through my music and realized this wasn't on here so I figured I'd post it. Enjoy.

Village Pistols "BIG Monet LP"

Heralded as one of the late great underground punk bands to release a single, and made somewhat famous through KBD fame. This band formed sometime in 1980, and in classic punk tradition ended by the start of 1981. Just from their single alone "Big Money", what more could one ask from these 4 blokes out of North Carolina. They blessed us with that, and that's all. Fortunately for us, this LP compiles their single and other unheard recordings.

Get your hands dirty, and dig in your pockets.

Subir en busca-del-aire-compilacion.

Chile es un lugar de latino america que se ha encargado de dar bandas muy proliferas en lo que respecta al Hazlo Tu Mismo. No es nada nacionalista, pero casi todas las bandas de por esas tierras me encantan.



Un amigo de esas tierras, me paso esta banda: Subir en Busca del Aire. Recomendandomela como "en mi opinión lo mejor del punk emocional gritón que se ha dado en la región shilena (sin contar el primer ep de AIDF)" y tenia razon. Ambos compartimos nuestro amor por ese primer Ep de Asamblea Internacional del Fuego (banda que el tambien me presento).


Sin duda esta banda mescla la emocionalidad pero sin caer en la musica extremadamente ruidosa, algo que la gente de Chile sabe hacer sin duda. Si te gusta Asamblea Internacional del Fuego, Leidan, Iluminati o mis favoritos Estoy Hartx bajate esta genial compilaicon de sus tres Eps que hizo el blog:http://otracosaes.blogspot.com

Hey Everyone: Everything is Ready for Pablo Cavallo's CD RELEASE!!

Throats – Throats (2010)

bitrate: 320 kBit/s
genre: Hardcore, Screamo, something
country: United Kingdom
notes: I just had to post this thing, simply because it really stuck in my player when I first heard this band. Completely angry and chaotic mix of screamo, hardcore, noise and other pissed-off shit, Throats throw quite a punch. I could only imagine experiencing this live…http://www.mediafire.com/?zmn5lazymzw

Escapado - Hinter den Spiegeln (2005)

Banda alemana de screamo en la vena de yage y compañia.
Emoción, melodía y caos a partes iguales con un gran sonido y grandes gritos.
Es un excelente album de screamo que nos muestra otra cara y otra escena mas dentro de este genero. No destaca ningun aspecto en especial por si solo, pero juntos hacen que este album reluzca y de gusto escucharlo. Tiene ciertos riffs imposibles de olvidar, como el de "Hier und jetzt". La voz melodica se marca mas que en otros grupos de screamo aleman y, a pesar de la rudeza de su idioma, consiguen un toque lirico excelente.
Personalmente cuando escuche Grau in Grau me encanto su sonido, Disfrútenlo.

Ruhaeda - Self Titled

No ahy mucha informacion acerca de Ruhaeda se sabe que fue una banda de hardcore punk de San Jose, CA.
Una vez Makara autodestruido, Matt y Nick formaron la efímera banda de culto de Honeywell. Su siguiente colaboración fue una vertiginosa máquina de matar conocido como Ruhaeda.
Ruhaeda era tan volatile como las bandas antes mencionadas. Su gira por los EE.UU. se vio interrumpida por un robo en su furgoneta, que puso fin a una gira de otra manera brutal con el ahora y Neil Perry.

Lizards Have Personalities - In All Honesty

Let’s tear this universe apart
Sever ties with past and future hearts.
I'll bore my nails into the fabric of space-time and bray my teeth.
So let's rip this universe apart
Start with the Earth; end with the stars
I'll finish what you started with that one whispered word.


Screamo.

Lizards Have Personalities son unos muchachos de Kansas (USA) que han sorprendido a la escena en estos últimos meses con su EP debut distribuido de forma gratuita en internet “In All Honesty” Tanto así, que se convirtió ya en el favorito de muchos. Y citando como influencia a bandas como I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism in Your Yearbook, Pianos Become The Teeth, Suis La Lune y The Kodan Armada, creo que no se podría esperar menos.

LHP tocan un screamo apasionado, con buenas letras y sincero, como pocas bandas lo saben hacer, las 6 canciones que conforman este EP no son más que una muestra de que hoy en día TAMBIÉN se hace buen screamo, tan bueno como el que se hacía años atrás.


And maybe this is why people cry:
Because we're all a vast mistake that universe made when it unwillingly entered life.
And if by chance you're one of the lucky ones, save yourself.
Because the rest of us are doomed to a life of solitude.


There is nothing left in this world for me.



Tracklist:
01 - Like Lifetime Movies
02 - The Heart's Descent
03 - The Plight of Eurydice
04 - We'll Always Have Paris
05 - So Beautiful In May
06 - In All Honesty

The First Crush (Compilation)

A peticion de Sergiocore xd.
The First Crush Compilation,inicialmente vió la luz del día en 1998 con sólo 3 copias, dió lugar a un híbrido estelar de los más grandes acontecimientos del punk/emo/hardcore emergente de la pasada década. El emo aproximándose a ser parte del mainstream del nuevo milenio con el éxito de Jimmy Eat World y el reconocimiento por parte de la crítica de At the Drive-In, es así que el relanzamiento de The First Crush Compilation era apropiado.

Es una colección de 22 canciones inéditas y tesoros difíciles de encontrar a la que los pop kids se engancharán mientras se remontan a través de sus recuerdos de la niñez y/o experiencias musicales que se muestran en el álbum. La fiebre del hardcore punk de la talla de Thoughts of Ionesco ("Upward, Inward & Under"), I Hate Myself ("This Isn't the Tenka-Inchi-Buddokai"), y Yellow Road Priest ("Song #7"), mientras que Stalag Seventeen ("Lack of a Better Word") y Sore Loser ("Nodding Off") cambian el sonido. Adicionalmente se destaca a Pop Unknown, Mineral, Beast, y Airport Architect que traen juntos un atractivo intenso que hizo de aquellas comunidades underground tan grandes.

Band of Horses-Infinite Arms 2010

You know all about this band. Dreary-folk songs that sounds like they're sung in the woods. I haven't listened to this yet but I'm sure it's awesome. Download it.

Bear In Heaven – Wholehearted Mess EP 12″

Genre: Psychedelic, Electronica
Year: 2009
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Label: Hometapes
Myspace:http://www.myspace.com/bearinheaven

01. Wholehearted Mess
02. Wholehearted Mess (Pink Skull remix)
03. Wholehearted Mess (Max Branslokker remix)
04. Wholehearted Mess (Arclike’s Dugout Version)

I’ve had multiple opportunities to get this 12″, but every time I pass it by. Well it looks like that’s going to change soon, because I finally heard the remixes of “Wholehearted Mess”, from 2009′s Beast Rest Forth Mouth, and they are cool as shit! The Pink Skull remix doesn’t stray too far from the tone of the album version, but cranks the reverb on the synths. The dance party starts with the B-side remix by Berlin-based DJ Max Branslokker, making Bear In Heaven boogie down with funky guitars, latin drums, and 80s-loving synth runs. Arclike’s Dugout’s version rounds out the sweet remixes with a minimalist’s view on “Wholehearted Mess”. Limited to 1000 red vinyl (as you can see), you can order a copy from Hometapes for $12 w/ shipping.

UPDATE: Since the time that I wrote this, I bought the 12″! Woohoo!

The Dead Weather and Devo Coachella 2010

The Dead Weather set really blew me away. I have the album and I really liked it, but this band live is a whole other story. I thought it was cool that they decided to shoot their set in B&W. I think that adds just another level to their perfomance.

NAZI DUST-ST 7 INCH

Artist: Nazi Dust
Album: Self Titled 7"
Release: 2009
Label: Youth Attack!

Tracklist:

1. Hatred Side
2. Invest And Sacrifice
3. Fervor
4. Impulse Control
5. Bad Blood
6. Exhaustion
7. Ego Victim

It's been months since all of the unnecessary hype surrounded Nazi Dust and their debut 7", and, after all the dust (I RULE!) has finally settled, we can reexamine this release. No, this is not the best hardcore record of the year, nor is it, on the other, contrarian pole, utter garbage. Instead, the 7" is a solid offering of straight edge hardcore which is juxtaposed with a M********* aesthetic that is to be expected nowadays. Still, in sound, the band doesn't really fit that well with the Youth Attack! roster in that it's way musically straightforward.

The one thing that sets this apart from being (and I use this word with no negative connotations) standard hardcore is the vocals, which is the strongest part of the band. The weird bark of their ethnically-confusing singer (is he Black? Latino?? Blatino??? Sicilian with a tan????) is pretty insane and keeps me on edge, enhancing the music around him and keeping things exciting. Also, props to the killer guitar tone and leads.

Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but I prefer this to their demo, even if there's no DYS cover. The two best tracks from that, "Bad Blood" and "Fervor," make their definitive appearances here along with five other moshable songs that prove that the band is definitely capable of producing some great hardcore. The new material is definitely up to part with the old material. "Hatred Side" is an excellent opener, "Exhaustion" is particular furious, and the intro to "Ego Victim" sounds frighteningly similar to Primus' "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" and that is just AWESOME.

This 7" definitely capitalizes on a lot of the promise of the demo, which, truth be told, piqued my interest, but didn't do much more for me otherwise. I feel like the band still needs to be a bit tighter and more dynamic, but this is still eight minutes of excellent music. Get into it.

Let it be known that this is not that shitty rip of the 7" that was leaked on a bunch of blogs, but straight from the computer from which it was recorded. 320kbps, baby!

Also, does anyone know why Monteclair High School in New Jersey loves this band so much?

DrOp NineTeens-Delaware

Artist: Drop Nineteens
Album: Delaware
Release: 1992
Label: Caroline/Hut

Tracklist:

1. Delaware
2. East It Halen
3. Winona
4. Kick The Tragedy
5. Baby Wonder's Gone
6. Happen
7. Reberryrememberer
8. Angel
9. Aquarium
10. (Plus Fish Dream)

Drop Nineteens are a band that lacked any real originality or even self-identity. They rode the shoegaze wave at its height (they are American, after all) with Delaware, then followed it up with some tepid indie rock on their sophomore album whose name escapes me, fortunately breaking up before they could do any further harm to their B-rate reputation.

Still, this first album of theirs is well worth hearing. Sure, for every brilliant moment there are three boring and/or uninspired ones, but some of the good outshines the bad. Their particular brand of shoegaze jocks equally from My Bloody Valentine, Swirlies, and Th' Faith Healers, sometimes working the theft into something great. The best example of this is "Winona," which is one of the best shoegaze songs ever recorded. It's totally a hit! I love this song with every fiber of my being and the line about Xanadu makes me laugh everytime I hear it.

Nothing quite comes close to the perfection of "Winona," but there are other highlights. The nine-minute "Kick the Tragedy" is SUCH a MBV rip-off, but it's still incredible if you can get past the chilly spoken word section. "Ease It Halen" is pretty sick too, as well as the cover of Madonna's "Angel." Not much else REALLY sticks out to me and I find myself skipping around on the album more than listening to it all the way through. For what it's worth, I do know that some people love this record. I just think it's hit-or-miss.

Check it out for "Winona" alone. And, while you're at it, "Kick The Tragedy."

Crazy Spirit-DEMO 2009

Artist: Crazy Spirit
Album: Demo 2009 CS
Release: 2009
Label: Self-Released

Tracklist:

1. Snakes
2. Black Shadow
3. In The Thick
4. Devil's Daughter
5. When Faces Change
6. Cool Death
7. Fledgefight
8. Slimey Leech
9. Blood Runs Fire
10. I'm Dead

Dear Diary,

Gloom, doom, rain, term papers. Hell is all around me and I have no escape. Luckily, there is the Crazy Spirit demo. Though I do not put "snakes in my veins" to "try, try to get away" (as go the lyrics to "Snakes", the opening track here,) I do take solace in finding the appropriate tunes to match my mood, in this case dementia.

Seeing Crazy Spirit live is unforgettable. They had this spectacular, tubular, warm, round sound that you don't get much at a punk show. It matched their bizarre brand of punk brilliantly. To this day I'm convinced that the entire band was dressed in First Nation revival style (I remember seeing war paint and feathers). In any case this demo rules.

Here are a substantial ten tracks of audio collage and demented mid-tempo punk which sometimes reminds me of the Germs, and at others DOA. Their rhythms are weird (lots of rolls and syncopated snare), their production quality is raw (cardboard studio style), and their songs are all pretty damn well-written. Walker, their vocalist sounds like Lemmy if he were a four foot tall baby trapped in an old man's body. Favorite tracks include "Slimy Leech," "Devil's Daughter," "I'm Dead," and "Snakes".

The band has several singles on the horizon coming out on Toxic State and Que Punk, so keep an eye out for those.

SparkleHorse :)

Un tributo al difunto Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse). Linkous debutó en 1995 con Sparklehorse y un disco sorprendente, Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot, un álbum que llamó la atención de Radiohead, que le llamaron para telonearles en su gira de 1996. Fue entonces, cuando intentó suicidarse combinando una dosis casi letal de antidepresivos y valium. Se recuperó de ello pero las secuelas fueron inevitables. Al estar inconsciente catorce horas, la circulación de sus piernas se cortó y sufrió un ataque al corazón cuando los médicos intentaron recuperar sus maltrechas extremedidades, que tuvieron que pasar por siete operaciones quirúrgicas. No por ello, Mark Linkous abandonó su tarea. Experto tejedor de emociones y hábil autor de electricidades incandescentes, publicó en 1999 Good Morning Spider, y dos años después It’s a Wonderful Life. Su última entrega en solitario fue en 2006, Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountains.

Linkous también participó en el disco de debut de A Camp, proyecto de Nina Persson, de The Cardigans, en 2001. Produjo el sublime Fear Yourself de Daniel Johnston en 2003, y participó en un proyecto multimedia a medias con David Lynch y Danger Mouse, que lleva por título Dark Night of the Soul. Éste quedó sin publicar por problemas legales de este último con EMI, que hace poco anunció que se habían resuelto y por fin verá la luz como obra póstuma de este genial artista. Aquí también colaboraron el galés Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals) y PJ Harvey. Su útlimo disco publicado fue el jugosísimo Sparklehorse + Fennesz, publicado en agosto de 2009 dentro de la serie In The Fishtank del sello Konkurrent.

Al final se salió con la suya. Mark Linkous, uno de los talentos más desconocidos del alt-rock nortemericano se suicidó el sábado 6 de Marzo del 2010, según un comunicado de su familia. Mark Linkous dedicó su vida a Sparklehorse, y al parecer continuaba trabajando en él en su momento. De hecho, estaba ultimando un disco que debería publicar el sello Anti y que parece que ha quedado inconcluso.

Hazhe - Universal Language

Hazhe es uno de los mejores productores que ha dado la escena en España y de eso nadie tiene la menor duda, recientemente presentó su proyecto Universal Language en el cual.. "nos trae un disco con colaboraciones de rappers de todo el planeta. Estados unidos, Argentina, Italia, Francia, Suiza, China, México D.F., Marruecos, Portugal y como no, España, se han unido para dar forma a la idea que tuvo hace ya unos años tras dar un concierto en New York y hacer los primeros contactos con artistas underground de la ciudad". Un gran catalogo de beats a disposición de una camada de rappers que dejan lo mejor de si en cada instrumental, un disco que bien le puede dar ese salto internacional como ya varios productores Europeos lo han hecho. //Nota de Prensa

Agrego que como Dominicano quedé "dolido" por la mención hecha, jaja.. digo no soy quien para dictar lo que Hazhe debe agregar a su trabajo pero de poner ese interludio mejor no se hubiese puesto nada, la verdad..

Natural Law-Spring Trash CS

Artist: Natural Law
Album: Spring Trash
Release: 2010
Label: Self-Released

Tracklist:

1. Cheap Blood
2. Scholarship
3. Cold Comfort
4. Loss Of Freedom

In the realm of political theory, natural law is the theoretical antithesis of nomos. Or so I'm told. Instead of offering some sort of insightful commentary or cool allegory that ties these two political concepts to the bands named after them, and, in effect, writing a cleverer-than-thou blog entry, I'm going to pretend none of this really happened and curse myself for majoring in cinema studies. [Note: for clarity sake: to be precise, nomos and natural law not exactly antithetical, as nomos is an ancient concept (though re-appropriated in various contexts since then) and natural law theory is largely modern. but within the ancient greek understanding nomos (law, convention) is always opposed to physis (nature) and hence the notion of 'natural law' is paradoxical.]

Natural Law hails from NY/NJ and have dropped their first demo, Spring Trash, on an unsuspecting world. The band plays a brand of straightforward, dissonant hardcore, alternating between blistering ragers and straight-up stompers. The vocals are interesting in that they sound like the bastard offspring of the tough vocals of Blank Stare's frontman and the snottiness of Deep Wound's frontchild. They're not too sassy and have an element of nerd-warbling that I'm totally into it.

"Cheap Blood" introduces the band perfectly and is their fastest and most frantic song here. To continue with the unfortunate college motif of this review, the next track is "Scholarship." This is the band's most stompin' song, even if it is probably just about good grades and Halo. Does the title make it a nerd stomper? Yes. "Cold Comfort" is another fast song and is probably my least favorite thing here. It's not bad by any means, just pretty unremarkable. The band makes up for it with "Loss Of Freedom," though, which proves the band knows how to write some slower jams. Instead of bludgeoning the listener in the same ways as "Scholarship," it sounds more methodical, with a slight late-era Black Flag thing going on with the guitars.

Rambling about individual songs aside, this is a great demo. It's by no means perfect and I think it could benefit from some more diversity in the riffage, but overall this is a really cool demo and I highly encourage you to download it. If you live in the NYC area, the band is playing two shows in the near future: May 24th with School Jerks, Pollution, White Guilt, and Crazy Spirit, as well as June 10th with Pollution, White Lung, Ecoli, and Migraine. You can pick up your demos there. If you're lucky enough to live elsewhere, be sure to order them from the link below!

Slices-Cruising

Artist: Slices
Album: Cruising
Release: 2010
Label: Iron Lung

Tracklist:

1. Medusa
2. Nightmare Man
3. Red Raft
4. John's Public Hell
5. Floodlight
6. Robbie
7. Mike's Insane Problem
8. Guide To Incest
9. Laughing While Eating

Slices' debut LP was my most anticipated release of 2010, partially because I don't really ever know what's scheduled for release and partially because they're one of my favorite bands going at the moment. Their first two 7"s absolutely blew me away and it became evident that the band had captured the throne of Pittsburgh true hardcore warriorkings from the semi-inactive/inebriated Brain Handle (who still tower over most others.) I can say with confidence that with this LP, Slices have capitalized on the promise of their 7"s and have produced their finest work yet.

Crusing takes its cues from the 16oh 7" track "Cave Crawl" and the Home Invasion 7", which may come as a disappointment to those who loved their faster, more straightforward hardcore material. I guess that means they aren't hardcore warriors, then. Oh well. While I did prefer the 16oh 7" to the Home Invasion one, I must admit that the band did the right thing by following this path. Taking their Pittsburgh hardcore sound and marrying it to noise-rock a la Landed, the band has truly found its sound.

I find the entire record to be absolutely incredible and its only fault is that it's a little lopsided, as the A-side rules, but the B-side is flawless. The first side opens up with "Medusa," which is classic Slices and flows into the surprising "Nightmare Man." Whether or not the band intended for it, the guitar riff is straight-up pop-punk. It's certainly unexpected, but it works gloriously. As a matter of fact, it's not the quality of the A-side that makes it live in the shadow of the B-side, but more the sequencing, in that there are less conventional songs on it. Instead, the band breaks up the flow of things with the intro of "Red Raft" and the sound piece "John's Public Hell." It's not a huge flaw, however, and these moments are quite interesting, particular the latter, which sees the band getting back to its noise roots.

The band returns to its contemporary sound with "Floodlight," which signals the moment in which the record really takes off. Really, it could be easily argued that the quality of the songs grows as the album progresses and the album ends perfectly, with the one-two punch of "Guide To Incest" and "Laughing While Eating." The former is probably the best faster song they've released thus far, even surpassing "Nub City," but the latter is definitely my favorite thing they've ever done. Hilariously-titled and ultra-heavy, "Laughing" plods along in true headbanging goodness with one of the coolest guitar lines I've heard in awhile. Maybe someday the phrase "Cruising Side B" will be a normal part of the punk lexicon.

I can't really speak much more highly about this record. It's certainly not perfect, but it's no doubt a monumental achievement for the band and will definitely proof to be one of the best releases of 2010. Be sure to pick this up from Iron Lung before it's too late.

Also, download this particular link because it is from the masters, straight from the band and not some vinyl rip.

April March - Pairs in April (1996)

Certainly not a new album, but something I find seasonally appropriate. April March is a moniker of Elinore Blake, an American singer that holds a candle for French pop songs. It is pretty obvious to see the appeal of this album if you're a fan of Serge Gainsbourg, France Gall, Brigette Bardot and their ilk. The tracks are a combination of covers and originals, with the first track being an English version of a Gainsbourg-written tune the occurs in French in the second half (so if you think you might have heard that shit before you're not just mad/drunk/high). This is fantastic party music as it is amazingly cheerful, interesting, and not overwhelming like many poor hosts all too often blast at gatherings. The whole album flows seamlessly from one song to another providing one of the most pleasant albums I possess.

Time To Burn – Is.Land

bitrate: 231 kBit/s (vbr)
genre: Screamo, Sludge, Post-Hardcore
country: France
notes: As requested, here is the outstanding Time To Burn. Brilliant chaotic and explosive songs drenched in a sad and melancholic tone, these guys bring some really unique tunes. As far as I remember, it was this band that actually got me interested in the whole Post-Hardcore/Metal genre. They were on a bit of break as far as playing goes, but as of late they have announced a few shows, so be sure not to miss those if you can. Aside of Is.Land, they have one more excellent release called “Starting Point”. Enjoy.

Daniel Striped Tiger - Condition

Desde que escuche por primera vez a Daniel Striped Tiger hace un par de años, me cautivo su capacidad de "pintar" paisajes, usando los instrumentos cual si fuesen pinceles, usando la armonía de lienzo y la melodía de linea, brindando perspectivas impresionantes con cada tema que pasa, con su intensa mezcla de sonidos, combinando el jazz-punk y el emotive hardcore de mediados de los 80's, ejecutando lineas armónico-melódicas de guitarra, que brindan la sensación de profundidad en un plano, e incorporándoles fraseos angulares descuadrados con un aire de punk, en un desfile sonoro que me recuerda a bandas como Life at these speeds, o a Sinaloa (banda con la que, por cierto, comparten un split). Sin embargo, el punto que hace diferente a Daniel Striped Tiger de otras bandas de "jazzy-screamo", es su disposición de expandir su sonido, abrir puertas y mentes, aumentando de esa forma el alcance del genero en si mismo, Daniel Striped Tiger nos muestra en su música, su predisposición a la experimentación del sonido, otorgándose la libertad de aventurarse en lo desconocido y creando así, una experiencia de escucha mucho más interesante, va más allá de la dinámica ruidoso-suave tan típica del screamo, elevándose a un nivel muy superior a nuestras propias espectativas.

Condition es el primer álbum de Daniel Striped Tiger, en el, se aprecia una integración de las clásicas pistas de punk de menos de 1 minuto, compartiendo escena con pistas más elaboradas y duración más extensa. El primer tema de álbum, "First Kite", se trata más bien de una introducción, un curioso sonido de feedback, que nos sirve de antesala para el segundo tema, "Slalom", un tema muy enérgico, que incorpora de forma magistral la unión de la base armónica claramente basada en el jazz-punk, con la voz, claramente de la linea del screamo, en un conjunto sumamente consistente, el uso de recursos como feedback entre los riffs y puentes de batería jazzera, logran un sentimiento de continuidad durante el tema, enlazando los diferentes elementos de la composición sin dejar espacios en blancos que distraigan o desconcierten al oyente. Ese punto en particular es una firma de la banda, el no dejar espacios en blanco, de hecho, entre la mayoría de los temas, hay temas-puentes, cualidad que nos brinda un sentido de orden al escuchar el álbum en su totalidad, pues en ningún momento el sonido es abrumador, mucho menos monótono, sino que fluye con suavidad, como un arroyo montaña abajo. Debo decir que DanielStriped Tiger siempre me ha cautivado, principalmente en esos temas de amplio carácter experimental, como es el caso de "Your Birthday (Cake)", un track que me recuerda plenamente la música de The Kidcrash, en el cual apreciamos al principio una melodía que inmediatamente se da a conocer como post-rock, para, justo a la mitad del tema, saltar a un jazz-punk sorprendetemente enérgico y dinámico, o "Little Things We've Collected And Treasure So Much", con su sorprendete introducción, plagada de riffs en escalas bastante extrañas y algunos cromatismos, que hacen bien su papel de toques experimentales dentro de la compleja armonía formada, hasta el caos y la disonancia que incluyen en temas como "rough cut" y "Beeves And Elthake (Born Into This)" que nos remonta a las orígenes de la banda dentro del sonido screamo.

Tracklist:
1..... First Kite
2..... Slalom
3..... Good Luck In Surgery
4..... Your Bithday (Cake)
5..... Rough Cut
6..... The Untuned Piano In The Assembly Hall
7..... Little Things We've Collected And Treasure So Much

Human Plague - Spring Tour EP 2010

Con mis manos puedo arrancar el miedo y la fe que mantienen ciega mi razón, opacando mis sentimientos, todo lo veo caer.
¿Cual es la ilusión, de vivir una vida que alguien diseñó?

Human Plague es una banda de Mexicana de Guadalajara, Jalisco con un sonido un tanto experimental una combinación de Post Metal a la Cult of Luna o Isis y Crust con algunos tintes de Screamo, probablemente por todos los diferentes matices de sus miembros ya que sus miembros tocan o tocaron en diversos proyectos como como Sociedad en Crisis( con un crust bastante thrashy) ,Tendencia(CrustThrash),Ursus(emo,indie,shoegaze) y Sowing Seeds (ambient).
Ultimamente ha sido bastante activa en la escena Méxicana, hace poco hicieron un pequeño tour por diferentes ciudades del País junto con Garrick y Caos Villa , llegando a tocar con Nazareno Violento, Expedicion a las Estrellas, Te lloraría un puto rió (nueva banda del bass de arse moreira) , etc....

Este Ep incluye un tema de mas o menos 18 minutos dificilmente clasiflicable dado el caso que suenan bastante diferente en cada parte de la canción, comienza con una atmosfera un tanto oscura, a la que le sigue la rasgada voz hablando de temas de corte existencialista un tanto misantrópicos, terminando con un largo periodo de calma con algunos samples para llegar al final.

CSSC - AM

CSSC, no hay mucho que decir, es el proyecto en solitario de Erik Rodriguez, el cual inicio hace un par de meses. Siempre trata de mantener todos los sonidos lo más realista posible.

El otro día me encontré con este disco, y desde que vi la portada, me sentí intrigado por este, lo descargué, y ni bien empezó a sonar la primera cancion, no pude evitar cerrar los ojos y relajarme, el autor cumplió su cometido, transportar al auditor a otro mundo, y embelesarlo con esa gama tan misteriosa que su música emana.

Tracklist:
1.Sleep Mode
2.Toss and Turn
3.Panic
4.Easy Breathes
5.Lull
6.Early Morning Sigh
7.Home
8.Drifting Off

Time To Burn – Is.Land

bitrate: 231 kBit/s (vbr)
genre: Screamo, Sludge, Post-Hardcore
country: France
notes: As requested, here is the outstanding Time To Burn. Brilliant chaotic and explosive songs drenched in a sad and melancholic tone, these guys bring some really unique tunes. As far as I remember, it was this band that actually got me interested in the whole Post-Hardcore/Metal genre. They were on a bit of break as far as playing goes, but as of late they have announced a few shows, so be sure not to miss those if you can. Aside of Is.Land, they have one more excellent release called “Starting Point”. Enjoy.

V/A - The Emo Diaries

Los que leyeron POST de Eric Grubbs, deben haberse empapado un poco en la historia del post-hardcore de inicios de los 90's, no era como el post-hardcore de hoy. Era más que todo música, y mensaje. Priorizando los valores que el hardcore y el punk perdieron a lo largo de su trayectoria: Autogestión, Pasión, Amistad. Que evidentemente el post-hardcore de hoy también ha perdido de acuerdo a la popularidad y protagonismo ansias de fama por parte de las bandas / sellos que fueron tomando debido a la acogida que se le dió.

The Emo Diaries, no es una, es la mejor serie de Compilatorios jamás antes hecho. Con hasta ahora 11 discos, 134 canciones por 134 bandas, entre las que resaltan nombres como Jimmy Eat World, The Appleseed Cast, Samiam, Pohgoh, Strike Force, Further Seems Forever, Aina, The White Octave, Chasing Victory, My Name Is Nobody, Last Days Of April y muchísimas más.

Una serie que incluye canciones inéditas de cada banda, desde España a Suiza, pasando por Canadá, Estados Unidos, Inglaterra, Italia, Suecia, Noruega, Holanda, Brasil, Japón y hasta Israel. Lanzado por el sello independiente Deep Elm Records, y considerada toda una joya del emo rock, post-hardcore.

Mapadelmundo - Demo

Mapadelmundo es una banda emoviolence proveniente de Kazajstán, formada apenas en 2009.
Activa aún hoy en día, Mapadelmundo integra un sonido intenso, extremadamente agresivo y caótico, en el que a plenas luces podemos encontrar influencias de bandas como Phoenix Bodies, Tristan Tzara, Louise Cyphre, Shikari, In Humanity, Palatka, y prácticamente el grueso de las bandas emoviolence.

La música de Mapadelmundo es un ejemplo casi perfecto del sonido nombrado como "emo-violence", incorporando intrusiones percusivas de alto carácter rítmico, así como un entorno de guitarra distorsionado con una onda cuadrada enfatizada a las tonalidades medias, lo que provoca un efecto como de "pared de ruido", una distorsión zumbante que sirve de firme apoyo a la composición, brindándole una base armónica bastante solida, en temas como "Воздух, который нас ненавидит сказал, что будет ненавидеть нас и дальше", se aprecia una introducción basada en un suave arpegio ejecutado bajo una escala pentatónica menor, seguida por un rasgueo octavado, clásico del genero screamo, y una caída acentuada con una poderosa y cálida distorsión, en la que la característica voz de Mapadelmundo realiza la primera entrada triunfal del demo; solo para retomar el arpegio del principio, reciclandolo y convirtiéndolo en un puente, camino que nos guia directamente al abismo sonoro causado por un rompimiento armónico generalizado, la cúspide del tema. Posteriormente, en "Та самая, единственная и неповторимая, хорошая и плохая, добрая и злая, та, которую ни с чем не перепутаешь, и зовут ее Жизнь" el tema empieza con un sampleo, al parecer un discurso de Fidel Castro en medio de la revolución cubana (que en realidad abarca un poco más de la mitad del track); después, una breve muestra del caos generado por esta agrupación, un tema, que a decir verdad, me trae a la cabeza a Palatka, al igual que el próximo tema, titulado "I just want to be something more than the mud in her eyes! I want to be the clay in her hands!", el cuál también incorpora una parte melódica, que a decir verdad, carece en gran parte de coherencia con el entorno agresivo y caótico en el que la banda se desenvuelve.

Mapadelmundo es una banda interesante, tanto por el hecho de retomar ideas del aparentemente extinto sonido emo-violence estilo 90's, como por representar a un país del bloque de la ex-unión soviética, región en la que se empieza a filtrar el sonido screamo desde principios de este milenio, y se perfila para ser una de las principales escenas del mundo en los años venideros.


Tracklist:

1..... Воздух, который нас ненавидит сказал, что будет ненавидеть нас и дальше
2..... Та самая, единственная и неповторимая, хорошая и плохая, добрая и злая, та, которую ни с чем не перепутаешь, и зовут ее Жизнь
3..... I just want to be something more than the mud in her eyes! I want to be the clay in her hands!
4..... Счастье наше. Мы здесь! Лежим на траве, смотрим на птиц в небе и просим у тебя прощения. Мы здесь! И ты единственное, что может спасти нас!

Van Johnson - Self Titled

Van Johnson fue una banda proveniente de Ottawa, Canada, activa desde 2002 hasta 2005, que tomo su nombre de Charles Van Johnson, un popular actor estadounidense durante las décadas de los 40's y 50's.

Van Johnson ocupa su tiempo en hacer un screamo de alta calidad, su música es excelente, no carece de originalidad, pues el estilo que aplican es realmente único, y aún así me parece que tiene cierto aire a The Spirit of Versailles, una voz a la "Donald Duck", pero con música mas orientada a un screamo con definitivos toques de post-rock, un aspecto bastante interesante de la agrupación, es su habilidad para jugar con las pausas y los sonidos, hacer ruido solo cuando es necesario, y callarlo también solo cuando la situación así lo exige, al parecer, Van Johnson domina perfectamente los matices, y en temas como "Haunting This Body" hace lucir este habilidad, en este tema se degusta un balance perfecto entre "ruidoso" y "tranquilo", mientras en el fondo podemos apreciar un arpegio adornado por un bello efecto de delay, que le brinda profundidad y consistencia como fondo auditivo, un fondo uniforme y bello, violentamente interrumpido por un silencio; la calma antes de la tempestad, el caos, la disonancia, y esa voz avial rugiendo sobre el conjunto atmosférico sonoro que para ese momento suena. Sin embargo, Van Johnson sorprende con el tema siguiente, "Spagator", iniciando con una enérgica irrupción de una armonía más típica del hardcore punk, para después, haciendo hincapié en su maestría en el arte de los matices, un puente rítmico generado por las percusiones, en el que repentinamente se incluye un riff de guitarra con palm muting y armónicos (al estilo Saetia), pasando a una armonía mas disonante, el climax del tema, volviendo después a los arpegios con delay, un recurso recurrente durante el álbum, que sin duda le otorga un gran soporte melódico/armónico a los temas en los que se incluye; es tan decisivo el recurso del delay, que los temas que no lo incluyen, como "Flatlands And Graveyards", o "Ashes", (en su primera mitad) tienen un sonido más parecido al concebido por bandas de screamo más caóticas, como del tipo Shikari, sonido en el que Van Johnson no se desempeña nada mal. Justo a la mitad de "Ashes", después de la parte caótica, el tema renace como el ave fénix de sus propias cenizas, tomando una forma más bella y más pura, mas estilizada, de corte más emotivo, más expresivo, sin duda, "Ashes", es, en mi opinión, el tema central del álbum, a pesar de ser uno de los más cortos, logra incorporar de una manera bella y adecuada muchos de los aspectos característicos de la banda. En "Strum and Drang", Van Johnson nos muestra una ultima variación de personalidad, en este caso, toma un poco la influencia de bandas del estilo de Love Lost But Not Forgotten, y aplicándole una fuerte dosis de sus estilo propio, crea un tema bastante interesante, iniciando con rasgueos fuertemente modificados con delay, siguiendo con una armonía disonante, en la que hace aparición el recurso vocal, una voz que me hace entender sobrenombres del screamo como "kitten-violence", eso, sonando sobre un puente creado por la bateria y el feddback ocasionado por la guitarra, un elemento que definitivamente Van Johnson debió usar mucho más durante todo el álbum.

Van Johnson es un buen ejemplo de la escena canadiense, siempre innovadora y de gran calidad, una escena que siempre ha brindado bandas legendarias al DIY punk.


Tracklist:
1..... Speechless For Once
2..... Haunting This Body
3..... Spagator
4..... Ashes
5..... Strum And Drang
6..... Flatlands And Graveyards
7..... Beggars And Bones

For those into heavier stuff. Versions is a 3-piece hardcore/punk band from Oakland, California featuring ex-members of John Cota & Spires. Dead Man is a 4-piece hardcore band also from Oakland, California. Here's their new split. In my opinion, I'm not too into Dead Man, but maybe that's just me. Whatever, Enjoy.

In 2004, Parts Unknown bestowed upon an ungrateful world the discography of one of the most unappreciated bands in the history of early hardcore, Philadelphia's YDI. This compilation includes their seldom-heard demo, their classic A Place In The Sun 7", some comp tracks, and their oft-maligned, Crossover LP, Black Dust.

Out For Blood kicks things off with their demo. At this point, the band was still indebted to a more west coast hardcore sound, particularly with Jackal's vocals, which have less sneer and intensity to them than their later material and have more of a punky quality to them. Partially due to the fact that these are just demos, the band just doesn't sound as fast or as tough as they do on their future material. Still, these recordings are more than just for curious listeners or die-hard fans, as they are sicker than most bands proper material.

The best material the band ever recorded was their debut 7", A Place In The Sun. The band builds upon their demo sound and makes everything thrashier, heavier, and nastier. The band's frantic style of hardcore is completed with raging solos and awesome guitar lines. The band's best song, "Out For Blood," is almost unrivaled in its intensity. It's one of the most menacing hardcore songs recorded. Other bangers would include "Not Shit" and "Categorized," a song that addresses the prejudice and bigotry the band members had to face not only for being punks, but also due to the singer and drummer being Black.

Also on this discography are two tracks from the Red Music comp Get Off My Back - Philly Hardcore Compilation. The comp features, from what I can gather, some of the best Philly hardcore bands at the time. To be honest, aside from YDI, I had only ever heard of FOD. Oh well. The two YDI songs fall in line with their more hardcore sound, but have cleaner production and, particularly on the tough "I Killed My Family," a slightly more metallic edge to them, foreshadowing the change that was to come.

Like many of their peers, YDI caught the Crossover virus that felled many a great hardcore band in the mid-80s. However, YDI did not succumb to the dreaded scourge of the genre and their 1985 full-length Black Dust is actually a pretty great record. The band incorporates a good amount of Venom and Motörhead-style metal into their form, but, which its audience failed to realized at the time, still retained a mostly punk sound. It's certainly not as good as their 7", but it's not the utter failure some took it to be upon its release.

No matter what stylistic changes the band went through, YDI remains one of the better hardcore bands to have ever brought the mosh. Even if you can't get into the amount of soloing in Black Dust, at least Jackal's vocals were consistently sinister throughout the band's existence. And hey, YDI is proof that Philly isn't completely worthless.

Septic Death-Kichigai EP

More from these guys from the 80s, this is also the artist Pushead's band. This music is a bit dated now, but there are some great thrashy punk parts. They definitely influenced a lot. Still, not one of my favorite bands, but definitely an important footnote in the history of hardcore music. They were one of, if not THE original thrash-corssover type band. TRACK LIST:

Advertising on the Channel of Dreams (Реклама на канале снов)

Advertising on the Channel of Dreams es una banda proveniente de Moscú, Rusia(dedicao pa mi pana el Ruso) XD, activa durante dos años, de 2007 a 2008, y solo dejo un CD grabado durante el 2008, sin embargo, un gesto digno de reconocimiento es el hecho de compartirlo de forma totalmente libre a través de su Myspace, de esta manera manteniendo vivo el espiritú DIY.

La linea de sonido de Advertising on the Channel of Dreams, es aquella practicada habitualmente en el screamo europeo, su música es similar a la de bandas como Celeste, D'amore, El eje del mäl, entre otras, un sonido crudo y potente, en el que predominan atmósferas tensas, de corte épico, con la oportuna intromisión de puentes armónicos constituidos por arpegios o rítmicas suaves, en el primer tema del CD, titulado "Not Worse Than You" se puede apreciar perfectamente este tipo de arreglos, la batería es muy enérgica en cada una de las pistas, y puede ser mencionada como el elemento conjuntivo dentro de las composiciones, en "Untitled Song" claramente se pueden notar los matices generados por los elementos percusivos, y como estos guían tan cuidadosamente a los instrumentos a través de melodía y disonancia por igual. La voz se distingue por ser de un tono crudo, carraspeante y algo forzada, sin embargo en las partes semi-cantadas se aprecia una voz muy bella. Un punto que me pareció muy interesante, fue la incursión por parte de la banda en los terrenos del screamo con toques de punk, al estilo Comadre, como la que podemos apreciar en "Part II", una batería con altos niveles de contenido punk, al que se le une una guitarra ejecutando 5tas, un bajo lineal y la voz carraspeante del griterío generado por el vocalista de Advertising on the Channel of Dreams, seguido de un repentino rompimiento, que, aunque conserva el elemento altamente rítmico, la parte armónica y melódica si cambian, dándole un giro interesante al tema en general. Otro punto interesante, es la continuidad que esta banda les da a cada uno de sus temas, sin duda seria un vinilo fantástico, pues pienso que un buen álbum es el que logra darle continuidad a cada tema, a forma de contar una historia en capítulos, de capturar la atención del oyente y de transmitir la idea con la mayor claridad posible, en "Part III" (obvia continuación de "Part II"), podemos escuchar la suavidad de la transición, pareciera el mismo tema, renovado y rejuvenecido, más fresco que el comienzo, más suave, con mas flujo de cadencias, y en general más tranquilo, sin embargo, la tranquilidad nunca predomina durante mucho tiempo en el screamo, pronto aparece la inevitable explosión sonica tan característica del genero, obligando al escucha a bailar de cabeza soplando un silbato como mera consecuencia de la energía y el dinamismo transmitidos por la banda.

Tracklist:

1..... Not Worse Than You
2..... Untitled Song
3..... Part II
4..... Part III
5..... Theme Fourteen
6..... When Children Are Grown Up

Witch Hunt - Burning Bridges To Nowhere (2009)

Witch Hunt - Burning Bridges To Nowhere (2009)
Posted by Phantom On 11:46 AM
Genre: Hardcore Punk
Website: Witch Hunt http://www.myspace.com/witchhunt
For Fans Of: Nausea, To What End?

Witch Hunt are a hardcore/crust punk band from Philadelphia, PA. The interesting thing about their sound is that it features dual vocals, one of which is by a FEMALE. Yes, women can also sound as stupidly pissed off their male conterparts. This brings a slightly different edge to the band's sound but doesn't detract from the overall impact it has. "Burning Bridges To Nowhere" is the band's third full length release from 2009 and covers a vast array of anarchic topics for all you hate mongers reading this blog to lap up. If you enjoy this album be sure to check out the rest of the band's discography as it is equally as great.

Nomos/ The Men Split CS

Album: Nomos/The Men Split CS
Release: 2010
Label: Vinyl Rites

Tracklist:

1. Nomos - Omar Hammami
2. Nomos - Andrew Joseph Stack III
3. Nomos - Dale Nixon (Black Flag)
4. The Men - Twist The Knife
5. The Men - Impish
6. The Men - Walking Out On Love (The Nerves)

Vinyl Rites provides us with a split tape of two of the more exciting Brooklyn bands going at the moment: hometown drunks Nomos and the unpredictable and versatile the Men. Both bands end up each contributing two originals and a cover and this material that far outshines their previously recorded output.

Recorded by Will Dandy along with seven more songs for their upcoming one-sided 12" on Deranged, Nomos' new set of songs blow the old material out of the water. The songs are meaner, faster, and more relentless, all while the production is fuller, lending itself well to their particular brand of wild hardcore. The real star of the show is their vocalist, G-Baby. I felt the vocals on the demo were somewhat affected, but his vocals on this are so much more raw and soul-bearing. The lyrical content is far superior this time around, concerning terrorism, domestic and abroad, with the real-life quote "I am hatred" from "Omar Hammami" being particularly powerful. In the end, their new recordings are exponentially better than the demo, and, believe it or not, the 12" songs even trump this release.

Truth be told, I was expecting Nomos' side to heavily outweigh the Men's side and I couldn't have been more wrong. Don't misunderstand me, I thought the Men were great, but this is their dirtiest and nastiest shit as of yet. These songs, recorded directly to a 4-track, rage just as hard as the Nomos side; "Twist the Knife" is probably my favorite song on the whole split and the instrumental "Impish" is exhilirating throughout. With three prolific songwriters and two new LPs coming out soon, it doesn't look like the Men can be slowed down anytime soon.

Both bands also contribute a cover to the tape and it's hard to decide which is the intercontinental champion. Nomos brings the heaviness with an excellent cover of Black Flag's "Nothing Left Inside." The band really nails it, partially due to a cool guest appearance: The sick Ginn solo comes courtesy of Tony from Aerosols and SQRM. The Men pick something a little different with "Walking Out On Love" by power pop legends the Nerves. I don't really know what to say other than it's incredible.

When it comes down to it, this is exactly what a split should be. Neither band has to carry any dead weight from the other and both bands are stylistically different enough to keep things interesting. Very interesting. Both bands contribute their strongest material thus far and it's definitely one of the best releases of 2010 so far. Nomos and the Men will embark on a mini-tour in support of this tape on April 9-11, stopping in Albany, Boston, and Amherst. The tape is already sold out from the label, so your best chance to pick up a copy is from the bands themselves with the special tour version.

Meic Stevens

Several months back I discovered the existence of Meic Stevens. The best way I can relate what I think I understand to be his situation is that he is another of those regional stars that never made it big in the wider markets. A Welshman, Meic Stevens, still enjoys some popularity in his homeland but back in 1970 when he made his biggest push to break into the wider British and beyond market with the album Outlander he didn't make it. Personally, I don't feel it is for lack of talent, but it could have been that there were many folk musics popping out of the woodworking everywhere in the world in that post-Dylan fame period. Outlander is sung in English in an attempt to cash in on the board appeal, but once that did happen Stevens retreated to Wales and made his follow-up release, Gwymon. It was done in Welsh and I find it to be astounding. When I was seeking information on Stevens I saw he was an influence for later Welsh bands like the Super Furry Animals and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, which if you read the blog you know I am a fan of. Coming to Steven's music from a modern mindset is like taking Gruff Rhys and trying to make him play jangly 70s style popular folk and I think that is a wonderful thing. Almost like listen to John Lee Hooker and understanding Rock and Roll more. So do enjoy if this is the sort of thing you're into.

Sandinista - Discography

"Libertad, tu eres mi cuerpo."

Sandinista! fue una banda rusa de hardcore punk, fundada, según palabras de los mismos integrantes, sobre la base de que el hardcore punk va más allá de música o moda, la banda en si trato de ejemplificar la idea con su forma de vida pues, todos los miembros de la banda participaron o apoyaron grupos de resistencia anti-fascista, movimientos anarquistas y de liberación animal, además de que todos los miembros son estrictos veganos o vegetarianos.
Las letras de Sandinista! abordan asuntos como la guerra, la ecología, el consumismo, la presión de la sociedad y extinción de especies nativas, musicalmente inspirados en bandas del hardcore nueva escuela de los 90's, y el hardcore político, intentando alejarse de los estándares del hardcore punk tradicional, creando así una visión y estilo propios.

La banda llego a su fin con la trágica muerte de Timur, el guitarrista que compartian con Optimus Prime, quien escribió la mayoría de la música de ambas bandas. El 13 de Noviembre de 2005, Timur y Maxim (ex-bajista de Sandinista!) fueron atacados y salvajemente apuñalados con cuchillos por un grupo de neonazis. Timur, quien para entonces tenia 20 años, murió de múltiples heridas de cuchillo y perdida de sangre. De acuerdo a la investigación policial, fue cuidadosamente planeado y orquestado por los neonazis, debido a las actividades antifascistas de Timur. 10 personas fueron encontradas culpables y sentenciadas a prisión. Después de la muerte de Timur, los otros miembros se negaron a continuar bajo el nombre de Sandinista! sin el.
Durante su periodo de actividad de alrededor de 3 años, Sandinista! aporto una cantidad de material notable, incluyendo dos álbumes, un demo y un álbum instrumental, asi como un par de ediciones en vivo.

La música de Sandinista! puede ser descrita como un desfile alegórico de sonidos, ideales y pasión perfectamente entremezclados, cada canción, cada tema, cada letra, cada nota, cada adorno, cada beat esta idoneamente situado, cada segundo de grabación transmite no solo energia pura, sino también sentimientos, pasión, ese espiritu contestatario que reside en el punk real, aquel que al escucharlo te llena de vida, ese que entra por tu oido apoderandose de todo tu ser, saliendo de las fibras musicales mas sencillas, pero mas complejas, que reside en lo más profudo de el ingenio y la creatividad de cada persona, y es despertado por composiciones musicales como las de Sandinista!, aquellas que reactivan el espiritu, que te hacen saltar de la posición en la que te encuentres, que logran que una intensa energia te recorra el cuerpo, eso, en pocas palabras, es la esencia del verdadero arte, no el arte estetico al que se nos ha acostumbrado a apreciar, sino el arte real, el que hemos aprendido a sentir.

Rehearsal (Репетиции).
Este fue el primer material elaborado por Sandinista!, en este material se puede notar de inmediato la calidad lo-fi de una grabación DIY, reforzando el espíritu e ideología de la banda, y aunque, el sonido es algo confuso, desde el primer tema se aprecia lo bueno de sus composiciones, precisamente en el track 1, se respira una atmósfera tensa, un beat lento y burdo, seguido de un elocuente riff de guitarra, desgraciadamente, una vez mas, la grabación es de pésima calidad, limitando en gran manera la forma en la que la música de este material en particular se puede apreciar, aunque definitivamente es algo digno de escuchar, primero porque fue el comienzo de una banda de la talla de Sandinista!, segundo porque las composiciones incluidas ahí son buenas, contienen energía, movimiento, matices, dinamismo auditivo, y una rítmica impresionante, Rehearsal marco las bases de lo que seria el siguiente material de la banda, el Demo.

Sandinista! Demo.
En el demo de Sandinista! esta vez, grabado con OSK Records, podemos apreciar un sonido crudo, raposo, agresivo, como el característico sonido crust-punk, evidentemente existe una linea conectiva con bandas como Econochrist, un hardcore radical, de extrema índole política e ideales anarquistas, que se ven reflejados claramente en el aspecto musical del tema, la guitarra ejecuta riffs derivados del metal, agregandoles porciones bastante generosas de Feedback, y combinandolo con un bajo retumbante, firme y consistente, que, junto con la potente batería, crean un lienzo sobre el que la voz finamente comenzaba a dar los primeros trazos de la obra maestra en la que Sandinista! se convertiría más adelante en su carrera.
En este material en particular podemos notar la inclusión de rompimientos al estilo del metalcore, en temas como "Nein, no, нет", se puede apreciar un profundo breakdown efectuado mediante un riff de guitarra, una base fija de bajo y una disminución en el tempo de la armonía en general, mientras la batería actúa como un medio de mera ambientación, hecho que me recordó un poco al D-Beat estadounidense. En otros temas, como "Технология вымысла", se puede apreciar un tipo de crust metalizado, una versión algo cruda y sonoramente abultada de hardcore, sonido que Sandinista! recibió por parte de sus influencias.

Libertad, Tu Eres mi Cuerpo.
Sandinista! llego a la perfección en cuanto a la madurez y pulcritud sonora con este material, definitivamente es la culminación de la experiencia musical de sus integrantes, en esta obra podemos apreciar riffs y fraseos de guitarra impecables, así como complejas atmósferas logradas por el bajo, y una batería firme, que progresivamente va guiando a todos los demás sonidos dentro de la tempestad musical que estos generan al irrumpir violentamente, ocasionando la más hermosa de las disonancias, más particularmente, podemos apreciar algunos temas retomados y pulidos de su demo, como lo son "Nein, no, нет", "Технология вымысла" y "Цифры", en los que se aprecia el viejo estilo crust de Sandinista!, dando paso a temas como "Из Двух Зол-Меньшее", que es una clara referencia al estilo antiguo de la banda, una mirada hacia atrás, hacia sus raíces, presenta una entrada casi totalmente metalizada, riffs saturados de distorsión con alta ganancia, y baterías típicas del heavy metal. Por otra parte, temas como "Потеря Чувствительности" son emblemas de la renovación que la banda experimento después del demo, en este se puede apreciar un sonido más orientado al hardcore punk de linea pura, eliminando casi por completo su influencia metálica, la cual se puede apreciar solo por vestigios en los riffs de la guitarra, e incorporando rompimientos más al estilo pogo-dancin', y algunos puentes que hacen resemblanza a bandas clásicas de screamo, como Orchid, en las que se aprecia un sonido oscuro ocasionado por la irrupción del bajo, apagando todo sonido alrededor y dejando que las frecuencias graves llenen el lugar. Sandinista! también retoma los riffs con tendencias de mathcore, y los aplica en temas como "Сердце Змеи", en el cuál predominan las frecuencias medias generadas por la guitarra, y sus fantásticos riffs repletos de elementos melódicos de gran complejidad. Libertad, Tu Eres mi Cuerpo constituye el climax musical de Sandinista!, y sería su último material convencional.

Hemos analizado los variados tintes que Sandinista! adopto dentro de su historia, sin embargo, este material nos cuenta otra historia, una historia más pura, más pasional, llegando casi al nivel carnal entre los muchos matices auditivos de este álbum, nos muestra una alternativa hacia el hardcore punk, una a la que muchas veces nuestros propios prejuicios se cierran, por el simple de hecho de no ser lo habitual.
Sandinista! en este material, incorpora 5 temas instrumentales, cada uno mas bello que el anterior, en una muestra de como el hardcore punk no requiere letras explicitas de rabia y resistencia para seguir siendo hardcore punk.
El primer track del material, titulado "Вечный огонь" nos enseña que la música contestataria puede ser estéticamente bella, comienza con un bello arreglo en piano, que sirve como introducción a una intensa melodía típica del hardcore, con riffs bastante elaborados, marchando sobre el camino trazado por la batería y pavimentado por unos arreglos de bajo realmente impresionantes, después "Своими руками", nos toma de la mando, relevando al tema anterior, en uno de los temas más enérgicos del hardcore punk que jamás he escuchado, obligandote a levantarte y a dar 3 giros hacia atrás al ritmo del intenso despliegue auditivo que hace lucir la batería, en una explosión frénetica en la que el único hilo entre todo, es la cohesiva acción de la rítmica de guitarra sazonada con un potente efecto distorsionador, justo antes de desembocar en una atmósfera realmente bella, que esta compuesta por un puente de guitarra, sobre una base rítmica creada por el bajo, y una disminución de tempo para cerrar de manera impresionante, este inefable tema.
