  Loma Prieta – I.V.

  01.02.12 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  The way Loma blows out the mix of their records always makes them sound so incredibly heavy.  If you’re in to melodic screamo this band is pretty much the cream of the crop.  They are on tour with Raein in Australia right now so if you live down under go see them. Here’s a nice [...]

  In the Studio

  Hey!  We just repressed our split with the Saddest Landscape.  We’re recording a new record right now, as in I’m sitting in the studio listening to Zac record bass parts, which will be called The Lack Long After.  We plan on touring a bunch behind it so if you read this blog come up to [...]

  Loma Prieta: Live @ CCAS

  12.28.10 | Permalink | Comment?

  I just posted a video of Loma Prieta playing Worn Path that I took a month or so ago when they played at Charm City Art Space.  I need to buy a field recorder to pick up sound in front of the band rather than behind them.  And I finally got a video to render/upload [...]

  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 [...]

  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 [...]

  8 days left!

  I’m in Oklahoma City right now hanging out at our friend Leon’s apartment who we met earlier at tonight’s show. Aside from a few minor van troubles, tour has been going well.  We only have 8 days left.  It’s weird looking back on some of the earlier shows of tour and realizing that they weren’t [...]

  Age Sixteen/Wren Lloyd Split

  04.28.10 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  So as most of you probably already know Age Sixteen broke up a few weeks prior to the release of this split.  It’s a shame because their half of this split absolutely kills.  Don’t worry though because 4/5ths of those guys are forming a new band which I’m sure will be just as good as [...]

  La Dispute @ CCAS

  Last week we had the pleasure of spending our Easter Sunday playing with La Dispute at Charm City Art Space.  I shot a few videos that I still need to convert but for now here’s La Dispute playing Such Small Hands & Said the King to the River. If you have the chance to go see them [...]
