F.E.F.E.

Members of Latterman, Iron Chic and RVIVR (which are all basically just members of Latterman)? Hell yeah.

This ep is great.

Hungers - The Devouring

The Unobserved is like an alternate reality where Isis got meaner and more metal rather than boring.

Go buy this. Vinyl or digital.


HIGH AND LOW

I’m going to do a bunch of posts of bands playing Fest13 this year that I knew nothing about 20 minutes ago…

A “more punk” Banner Pilot?


IF THE STRAW IS DRY, IT WILL LIGHT UP

This band is Russian, so I apologize right off the bat if Google translate has mangled the original untranslated Russian title of this song: “если солома высохла, она загорится”.

Sort of droney post rock with some 90s emo touches, particularly in the vocals.  

Its free on their Bandcamp page.

Great by the books No Idea pop punk. I swear thats not a dig.


YOU CAN MAKE THE BEAT GO BOOM, BABY

The album is a bit uneven. Some songs leaning a bit too much into growled hardcore, and others a bit too slow. But the songs that stay a bit more in the noise rock/ Pissed Jeans realm are great.

All and all, You’re Gonna Get Yours is still a pretty listenable record with a lot of great moments.

Buy it here.
