  01.05.11 | Permalink | Comment?

  I stumbled upon End of a Year‘s blog and ended up reading through all of their entries.  Each post is like a mini editorial informing, poking fun or complaining (usually all 3) about some aspect of the indie/hardcore music scene and the subculture that has risen around it. I especially like these videos where they [...]

  Bringing a video camera along on tour is bittersweet.  You’re torn between capturing the performance on tape or experiencing it without a viewfinder in front of your face.  Making that decision is difficult to do some times. Koji covered Wagon Wheel by Bob Dylan/Old Crow Medicine Show at a venue in South Carolina and had [...]

  Elder – S/T

  11.23.10 | Permalink | Comment?

  I forgot how awesome this album is until it came on my shuffle this afternoon.  Elder features members of two other pretty big name Philly screamo bands – Towers and Balboa.  The Balboa presence is really prominent on this album (maybe they share a guitarist?) though Elder tends to be a bit more atmospheric/softer sounding [...]

  I’ve been getting a lot of emails lately from people asking me to post their bands so here are some mini reviews. + Sirs Sirs is an upbeat emo/punk band – equal parts Acrobatic Tenement era At the Drive-in & Cap n’ Jazz (especially those vocals).  This band would fit really well on a bill [...]

  The Saddest Landscape/Pianos Become the Teeth Split 9″

  We’re slowly making our way down the interstate to Summerville, South Carolina for tonight’s show.  Our friend Phil, singer of the band Octaves, was kind enough to let us borrow his van for the tour after our van’s transmission blew up.  We’re lucky to have him along for the trip because along with being a [...]
