This reminds me a lot of the early Single Mothers, which is not a bad thing.
Was this band big or notable? I found them a few years ago around the time their last full length came out, but know pretty much nothing about them.
Go listen to the whole album.
I pictured burlier dudes making this music, but its skinny kids in chokers.
I also pulled this picture from MySpace. Weird.
This is what head banging was invented for.
I didn’t appreciate how good these guys are when I saw then open for Converge & Coalesce a bunch of year ago and I regret it.

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.
I’m not crazy about this band’s name. However after (very) a little research I would guess the name is lifted from 1942 book by Philip Wylie, that is basically about how everything is stupid and fuck everything.
Makes their name a little cooler.

A bandcamp supporter comments sum this up perfectly: “Been a fan since 06/07 which is scary to think about. Phenomenal band. A total mystery as to how they aren’t bigger.”
How does a band like this fly under the radar for 10 years (at least as far as I can tell)?
An incredibly hard to search band name already doesn’t help. Neither does a great though sort of generic sound. Aminals are good, they are totally nailing that early 00s metal/hardcore Converge thing, but so have lots of bands.
Despite what it might sound like, I do like the album and its free on their bandcamp page.

Where has this band been and why didn’t someone tell me about this.
Sludgey crust thrash with some Coalesce/Botch touches.
Ex Charles Bronson, Das Oath, Holy Molar, Ampere, Orchid, etc, etc. Released on Youth Attack.
Buy it here.
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.
I’m going to do a bunch of posts of bands playing Fest13 this year that I knew nothing about 20 minutes ago…
Great by the books No Idea pop punk. I swear thats not a dig.
