Deers!/Ordstro

Deers! and Ordstro share a live split that sounds so intense and genuine, that it's undeniable and impossible to resist. Deers! side has a different version of the song, "I Eat Happy Memories," that sounds sweet. Ordstro's power and violence inspire the soul, to say the least. I just love me some good live recordings. Makes me think of NIRVANA's ,from muddy banks of wishkah, Off Minor has some good ones too on the Problematic Courtship ep.

Live Split

Polina

Canadian screamy; a little mathy and driving with captivating melodies.

Polina Tour 7"

Jubilee / Zwounds

Prelude to the beast that became Innards. Jubilee and Zwounds were both from Texas. Jubilee reminds me a little of Desaparecidos, they have a sort of straight forward approach, but the structure to all their stuff is pretty tasteful and they play it super thrashy. Zwounds sounds like some 70's shit like Santana, except for this is 2000 something and they mixed it with post rock and some other violent frantic punk shit.

Split

Fiction Like Non-Fiction

Legit screamo band from California. Youthful and genuine sounding with beautiful lyrics. The rest of their material is available for free download in their Last.fm page. I'm pretty sure the band has been inactive for a while now, which sucks 'cause this stuff is great. Please help yourself.

EP

Lyrics

HARCO

Harco is a noisy punk band from Baltimore; their sound is raw as fuck, and their live sets are super fun and energetic. My band end times had the chance of playing with them last year at Conradi Fest, and I was super impressed and hyped on their set. They are also super nice dudes; they make their own merch and sell it for super cheap. Check them out for your own sake.

Bandcamp

Sweet Talk

Two piece pop punk from Chicago, with heavy emphasis on the punk side. Sweet Talk features members of Parrhesia, a sick screamo band. Here is a link to the Ice Age Records bandcamp and it includes lyrics too! Please support them; you can name your price for the digital download.

Republic of Dreams

New German/Polish band featuring members of Lousie Cyphre. They have a split coming out with Beau Navire in the near future. This is one of the most exiting things I have heard all year. I love Louise Cyphre and Republic of Dreams will not disappoint. Check out their website, it has a link to one of the songs from their upcoming split available for download.
