New years: Oh yeah..

Well its gonna be new years and 2013 is over. I honestly I am not sure what I am going to miss until months pass by. A few good memory of mine were when I went to the Growing up is dumb fest in the summer. That was fun. Also my last semester at Long Beach City College, which wasnt so stressful at all. Also when I discovered Japanese bands and labels. That was cool. Also me getting alot of music crap. That was awesome. Also thanks Tim (Bass of The Spirit of versailles/The Hareste/ Examination of the..) for the records. I gained more skills on the guitar that was dope. New friends I made a few I lost. Also me pet/house sitting, it was fun being stoned and stuff I sure will remnisce all these things. Its too bad we cant look back in the years but simply move forward and just forget the past. Not everything about the past are bad things. They can be awesome things also. Starting tomorrow I shall start on a post, I am posting a few stuff I sent on my email and also messaged on my last.fm account those shall be the 2 posts for tomorrow if anyone's actually reading this. I do plan on obtaining more vinyl for 2014 I already have about 11 records in mind. So I may leave the CD game for a while (I still need to get a few stuff on cd as well) I shall start a short video reviews on all this crap I own. 2014 should be a decent year, I do have plans on starting a twinkly/mathy/hardcore screamo band soon. Anyways Happy New Years and dont get too fucked up. You dont want tomorrow morning to be shitty.

Updates

Well I been lazy due to holidays and not just that but I have a lot to catch up with. First things first, I finally registered for the new college 2014 spring semester at the new college I am now attending to. 4 classes on 4 days Mondays-Thursdays. So its likely Ill at least post either once or twice every 2 weeks but I shall try to make it up if I have free time on some rare stuff that isnt on the internet. Also Christmas passed by and I got a good amount of records (about 7 records in total) which most were old rare shit not everyone owns. I also want to thank Tim (Bassist for The spirit of versailles/The Hareste/Examination of the...) for sending me them records on The Spirit of versailles and The Hareste's 7", you fucking rock bro. You made my year. And also I want to thank the dude who I bought Ghost towns/Lautrec 7" off of on Storenvy for adding an extra freebie 7" on Perfect future's 3 song 7". I am new to the band and after listening I really got into it. Thanks again. I also got myself an Ipod Classic. I can finally add every band I know on that thing without stressing over space, feels good to add bands on there without converting the songs to shittier quality. So I been on the ipod for the past days throwing all the shit from high school and even a little bit from middle school and all the shit I now know. It is awesome. If you havent seen my youtube account I threw out a top 30 2013 list of good stuff bands released this year. I noticed most were new comer releases and a few bands from last year. So thats something that is also awesome. I have no plans today til later tonight (it's 2:30 right now) so I guess I can cat nap it right now for about 3 hours. Hope you all a bomb few days left for 2013 and have it better for 2014. I am only saying this because I may or may not post something on Monday. But if I am not busy then I may do a good 2 posts.

Sepia//memory- Stay home for Winter

its Crimbus and oddly I got 7 records. which is cool. Anyways, this is actually my solo freestyle sing/talk American football-Esque/Kolya-Esque project. A month ago I put out my debut's 10 song length. The reason I made this length well I really had to let go of the personal shit that went down in summer 2012. I had it all curled up inside me so I freestyle on all these songs and it actually came out pretty decent. Before putting out Stay home I did had a 2 song single out which was still the same sing/talk style but less filled with emotions. I also didn't put much effort anyways. But as for Stay home. This length really got to me and even a few friends had the same gloomy roller coaster vibe of my experience. I was pretty amazed anyone actually liked it. I thought everyone would be disappointed but I was proved wrong. Anyways. I am working on new material related to Stay home for Winter and it was really nice to let all my emotions out on this stuff. Felt good, I am usually the kind of person that doesnt like/know how to express how they feel. These 10 songs did. Anyways, if you always imagined how Kolya's early vocals would sound next to American football Sepia//Memory is the right thing for you to listen and cry to. I really put my heart out and serious manner into these songs.

Dream caste

So yes I am back from Belmont shore. I totally fucked up and I also realized there was a weed grinder I never used. But then again I am really good with my hands breaking it. So ehh fuck it. I also left my phone charger but I have a older one. Next time I shall use a grinder for my weed and get my charger back. Anyway, I found this band flying all over the music groups I am in and also Mark has been spreaking this around. And it came to my attention Mark (Kyeo speaks) is in this yelling bear punk band. And it sounds pretty good actually. I dig this a lot. Anyways. Yeah check it if the word hasnt come to you yet. I have no other way to compare this or what it sounds similar to. I also saw that there playing with Nayru on the 26 of this month at Bridgetown so Ill hopefully try to be there.

Bandcamp

Mieksneak

I been in Belmont shore mobile estates getting stoned for 3 days non stop. And while I was blown I found this along the way while listening to ALY (Always love yourself)
Anyways its some hip hop beat stuff. Sounds pretty good during the moment. Had a chill vibe. Mieksneak recently released a 14 song tape entitled "Joints" looks pretty dope though and sounds good. This guy also was the one who did the "Bitch dont kill my vibe" before the song came out so either Lamar stoled the beat or Mieksneak sold it to him. Who knows. I do know Mieksneak did it first during summer and by October Lamar released that song. Anyways. If your in the mood for some DIY hip hip instrumental beat flow. Check this tape out.

Bandcamp

Barrow sessions+ Deafears/Krampvs

Sorry for not being active. I been on alot of shit. I am waiting on my damn registration date for the new college I am going to and was suppose to show up last night. Anyways deaf ears has put up 2 new releases. A new demo with a new song plus the 2 re-recorded songs from the summer demo and 3 other new songs on the upcoming split they are sldoing with some band as Krampvs. Well it still has the same sound so nothings really changed. I just wanted to make a quick post on that. I am planning on more for December dont worry. Ill surpise folks who check this. Well I'll be going back to Belmont shore again on Saturday-Monday. So hopefully Tuesday.

The real final 3 songs for Battle royale

Well I am still on Belmont shores and it has come up that BR has finally released the actual final songs. As for 4 songs (which were all intended for compilation songs and a split but never happened either due to the bands breakup during that moment or because none of the comps and splits never happened) but as for today they finally released the final 3 songs or as a unreleased maybe. Well this got me sad because it's really the last of this band and that sorta sucks balls. But hey at least 3 songs is better than nothing. As for these 3 songs. Wow there fucking good and did not fail what so ever as a final release (although not a physical one) but there pretty dope. Si if you checked BR's last post maybe you wanna get on this one as well.

Bandcamp

Update: Files being deleted/expired

Well I noticed many of the files have been "expired" or deleted. I will instead upload these filed again straighly into my blogspot instead of using a file share site because I realized they all suck and arent reliable. I want these files to stay forever on the internet. I perfer Nirvana to be lost songs instead of Bob tilton or even my Karate file. So dont think I wont re-upload those because I will. That's the post I wanted to drop off today since I am still at Belmont shore and I won't leave til Sunday after I get home I need to start registering for my college classes and get all the financial aid settled afterwards I need to get a job and also I will post my project's debut album up on here as well. Peace.

Minus the bear

Well I am off to Belmont Shore again so I won't be back home til next week meaning I won't do any post til either next Monday or the next next Monday. Either one. Got my clothes, vodka, shot glasses, and food packed hell I am even taking my ps3 since I recently bought a hdmi cable. I also invited a few close friends along with my cousins to smoke some weed, take shots, play fallout 3 and watch Asian girl movies. So before getting into this post, back in 2009 I showed my friend The reptilian and he liked it a lot and told me to look into Minus the bear. I was a douche with music in high school so I didn't but before that back in 2007 I had Charter cable and I saw a music video of Minus the bear which was the song "Knights" the song was from the bands third length album "Planet of Ice" (Which it is an okay album but not as great as the first 4 releases) The song was good but eventually I got over the song. In early Spring of this year I went up and searched them (after discovering Sharks keep moving first) I went back in time and heard the bands first EP "This is what I know about being a gigantic" and I liked it a lot I could compare early Minus with Colossal (which is why I ended up liking Minus a lot) so I ended up buying Minus the bear's EP and first full length "Highly refined pirates" and man are they awesome. I was a bit skeptical on the bands second EP "They make beer commercials like this" after knowing there was a repress with a compilation added to the EP I ended up liking that EP which went to the later different sound of "Menos el oso" the bands second length. After hearing this length I'll submit that I like this length as well but not as great as Highly refined pirates that's for sure. I actually see the bands early stuff more as a "kicking it, relax, have a few beers with friends" music. I been playing on getting They make beer commercials like this EP and Menos el oso soon (Once I get all of Karate's albums, Cursive's Such blinding stars for starving eyes, The early storm, and Domestica and also Sharks keep moving Self titled and Pause and clause EP since I am missing those 2) Minus the bear is indeed math rock (early stuff) you can hear the Math rock fading at They make beer commercials like us EP and you can completely hear it fade out in the Planet of ice album (which is okay but not a favorite of mine) as for mtb's new stuff I couldn't get into it. Sharks keep moving and Minus the bear do in fact have a different style. Skm is much more slower and jazz like while mtb is much more hyped a bit more fast paced with quick tap notes. If anything I'll be posting there early stuff. And also I'll be adding the song "Drop it like its hot" (Originally from Bands like it when you yell "yar" at them EP) which is a early sampler preview of 3 of Highly refined pirate's songs which was a few months later released leaving only Drop it like its hot as an original to that EP. Saying that I don't know why Highly refined pirates CD version contains 2 songs that are "radio edit" I mean they still sound the same and are no different (perhaps they took out some of the curse words out) other than that I saw it pointless to add those 2 songs and should've instead added "Drop it like its hot" into the album.

Train park

Here's the second band I was told to post. I heard the band and I fucking loved it and also on the side note, please request me more bands I will gladly post your favorite band or band (related to the diy) well the band is a twinkly/indie punk/screamoish band. Its good as far as I know. I think the band broke up (hopefully I am wrong) its a decent band and for midwesterm twinkly lovers I would recommend you to download all this. It's sorta alike the same sound as Adventurers.

Bandcamp

Adventurers

Im super stooked for this week I am hoping to finish the songs on my solo project by tomorrow and/or friday. I am excited and amped on Sunday so I am planning to get a bottle of Gold (Jose cuervo) and stay down Belmont shores mobile home estates again for most of November. I am also planning on taking my ps3 and stuff. Anyways, I got a request on 2 bands but today I'll post this one. Well I dont know much on these guys but sorta remind me of a Merchant Ships/Midwest pen pals sorta stuff. So if you know what I am talking about youll love this. Dont get confused with the band Adventures, both bands are totally different. This band apperantly is new to the game so look into them. I quiet dig these guys. Since I have no Ipod for the meanwhile (It broke today) I saved it on my ipod playlist so I can add it once I get my new one.

The Brave Little Abacus- Discography

So recently some broad gave me her number while I was walking the dogs (The small gig job I got for extra cash down Belmont Shore Mobile home Estates) My guess is she stays down the dorms of the University that's right next to this place. So we then talk and randomly last night she texts me telling me she banged a dude at the dorm and she doesn't think he had a condom on so she took a morning after pill or some shit. This is where I get pissed off not because some guy banged her or because she is telling me some shit I don't really care about (Since I am an asshole to people that are stupid) But what got me mad was the fact that she gave me her number, I didn't tell this broad "Can I get your number so you can then describe your first time to me afterwards?" in the end it all resulted with a "What a nerdy slut" but then again her problem isn't my problem so I kindly texted her "Ohh I see, damn" I guess she probably got the hint of me actually saying "So you gave me your number so you can tell me this, oh boy ain't that a waste of my fucking time and battery" But then some people don't quiet get it so they'll think I am fine, you see I am fine I just find it extremely awkward now. Not just that but I also found out the house I am house/pet sitting has 2 sets of human ashes from the past husbands the lady has had (talk about bad luck) and Coyotes apparently come out at night and walk around the whole mobile home estate (These are wild coyotes with rabies and full on hunger) which also explains why all dogs randomly bark at night since they hear them howl. I believe I saw a sign that says not to walk your dogs late at night and to have your cats indoors. So that was my weekend at the small gig as a house/pet sitter. So about a week ago I randomly discovered this band on last.fm while trying to search for a similar band like early Minus the bear or Sharks keep moving and I ended up with a band totally different from those 2 bands. Instead I came across The brave Little Abacus, this underrated band is far superior and anything I have heard in my life. Just to explain what they sound like to me "Cap'N Jazz/Algernon Cadwallader meets Them, roaringtwenties" it resulted to that. So the band broke up last year, bummer I know. But left a Demo, 2 full lengths, one split and a last 7". But for the past week I have been listening to this band fully non stop. I got so into these songs, seriously. So if you sorta like Cap'N Jazz, Algernon Cadwallader or Them, roaringtwenties you should also give this a listen. There last live set was recorded so I'll add that on here too. So during my stay as a house/pet sitter I was getting stoned in the living room listening to this band and I realized I really like this a lot, at first I thought it was the stoned out talk but once I came to myself I mixed beer with Whiskey and Vodka and even some Champagne and heard this again and I said to myself this is some good shit but then my drunk ass got in the mood of watching netflix. By the time it was 3 AM I fell asleep with Bob (Kitten) and realized I like this band a whole lot.

Mustaphamond

This one is for the kids who posted a comment regardless of this bands demo. Short story, I came across this band on youtube somehow and I liked them. I left the person who posted this video about any releases of this band, they only semmed to have this demo. So this band has totally changed sound from a hardcore/skramizsh band to more of a experimental/math rock influence band. So yeah, this demo is pretty gnarly. The band has played for quiet a while I even messaged the band and they don't seem to have any music on there material. It is a real bummer for this band because they aren't well known at all because there is no releases out there on the internet (not that I know of) but anyway check this demo out. Its pretty amazing.

Demo

Raintree

So recently I been waiting on my mail and shit and High Vibe Recordings (The ones who released Lobby Boxer's Teddy EP recently sent me that EP. The EP was suppose to come in like a week or 2 ago. Since they lagged it I got this random tape along with Teddy EP and so I heard it and it turns out I like this band too. I have nothing on this band besides them having 2 releases so far. The EP tape I have entitled "When men were made of iron" which introduces 5 nice slow soft content tracks which are good to my ears. In summer 2012 the band put out a 3 song summer tour demo for that year which the songs are still quite alike the EP. I hope the band hasn't disappeared so therefore I will make a post on these guys. Ill soon post some photos on some of the shit I bought and you can also follow me on instagram Skramz4life is my user name.

Heres a promo video on the EP



Bandcamp

Nayru

The spirit of versailles collides with Jeromes dream. Add bites of In loving memory and some The Hareste and this band is made. Very 90's screamo sound. I think I have said enough just to cover this band. So if you like what I listed then youll have a watery mouth on this band which are a band from todays time. Nuff said.

Bandcamp

Tricot- THE

Remember of my last post on Tricot me mentioning that the band recently will release there debut full length entitled THE on October 2nd? Well I finally got me a link for you guy to share. After leaving a comment on Tricot's last.fm page about a link for the new album someone kindly uploaded the bands length on zippyshare and I re-uploaded the length on there again. So its a 13ish I'd say 12 song length album since the first track is an intro some songs are from the singles they released such as Bakyuun EP, Oyasumi Ep and there single CD "99.974" about 8 of the songs are new, the song Orange juice has vocals like in that music video I showed on here. So it is still a good album as I expected one of the songs did sorta disappointed me because it sounded like a different direction but then again there is always that slow jam on most albums bands make that sounds a bit odd from the rest. So is the album good as the rest of the releases? Hell yes it is still fresh and badass. Maybe even a bit better from the last releases I will say. The band shows sign of progression on this length and lets hope the band doesn't change signature style on the next material. This band needs to tour in the fucking U.S and come to LA so I can see and meet them in person although I doubt they will understand how much I appreciate there talented music. I have mentioned that I would buy all the releases but because international orders and shipping sucks this may be one of the few bands I will not get a physical copy of which is a bummer because the band deserves the support which I am sure everyone has bought the album down there. I am not a fan of buying music on itunes but I am sure some people from America and around the world did even saw some guy mentioning on one of Tricot's facebook posts that they bought the album. That is awesome buddy but like I have mentioned a 23 dollar CD is really not well worth the effort of buying. I don't blame the label or the band but the currency over there is much different than the one here plus its an import so that speaks for itself. Anyways I am going to shower, eat a chicken burrito and head out with my cousin to smoke a blunt and possibly talk about life and music (We both have a different sort of music since he is more of a rave kind of music dude and we all know what I like)he needs to be stress free and I do to since life lately has been sorta of a bitch for both of us.

THE

Karate- Entire discography

While I am patiently waiting on my Gunz: The Duel 2 download I came to mind to do a post regarding on the band Karate. A band entitled Karate? What the cluck? Yes there is indeed or was there a band called Karate. This band is one of my few favorites in the classics of 90's indie and as for the genre the band smashes it with genres such as Math rock, Jazz rock, Blues, Jazz fusion, Post-rock, Indie rock and even with some post hardcore elements involved on some parts of some songs. The deal is, no one has done a discography on this band.... I don't know how many of you could of possibly missed this band.. Anyways, I sat down late December 2013 and saw that this band was a similarity to bands like Colossal and Sharks keep moving so I said to myself "Hey maybe I will like them" and did I sure loved them. Seeing there was possibly no file on this band within a week of asking some dude left me a message regarding on this band. He left me an entire discography of this band on a drop box file but it was in its own files so I had to download each album instead of the whole thing. A few 3-4 months ago I went back to that URL link and apparently the whole file no longer existed. So I said to myself "One day I need to post this on my blog" due to being busy and with the plus of laziness I did took a while to upload this. But hey, I finally did it. So here is the whole darn discography (Missing a live set album of there's but it doesn't count as a discography) other than than that its pretty much every release ever done by these guys. I mean they even released a 2 song single 7" before releasing there first full length debut self-titled. So here ya have it Karate's legacy. It's funny that every release the band made the band was progressing and getting better. Almost anyone can agree with me with that. If you are a 90's true fan then maybe you may want to download these guys to add to your library. Geoff Farina is among my favorite guitarist in the whole game of the 90's music scene. Probably one of the best ones at the time

Algernon Cadwallader

Since there hasn't been any of the new bands making releases right now, oopps the band Tricot just released there 10 song debut THE today. Album is expensive and as for itunes I prefer a physical copy. So for now let us speak of Algernon since I been wanting to do a post on these guys. Algernon was the happier version of American football. And for those who don't know (although by now you should) they are those midwetern twinkly bands. I kinda don't feel like explaining to much about them since I am lazy right now and its 9:50 AM to be exact while typing this, they were fucking cool. They released a 5 song demo 7"/tape, a 6 song EP entitled Fun, 2 full lengths one entitled Some kind of Cadwallader and the other Parrot flies, they appeared on a 4 way split with Boysandsex, 1994! and Snowing with there song Na na na, and were also on some tour demo which not many know of (I also included that song on the discography. And Algernon's unreleased s/t 7" both songs were later re-recorded and added on Algernon's debut full length. Yep that's all they sadly made. This band was at the end of my high school years within late 2009 so I know the band for quite a while although I wasn't there when they started. I do know members of this band such as the vocals/bass went on to the band Stable boys which doesn't have the same concept of twinkly noodly guitars like Algernon but it is still good. So here ya have it. Algernon's entire discography.

Giant golden rings

So I just woked up right now, it's cloudy and cold this morning and I think I shouldve mentioned ggr last summer when I knew this glitch/hip hop music. Last year ggr released 9000 LP and if you havent heard it. Its fucking awesome. Not too long ggr has released an EP tape entitled "/////[]ME". He is odd naming the album amd song titles but other than that his shit is good. I mean everything is. So hearing this EP made me realize I should maybe post ggr up here. I am now becoming a fan of this sort of music and I went ahead and checked the label who helped him put out 9000 and ME and that label did not disappoint they have some cool shit by others which I will mention on a different post. You might want to check this since its dope. Its instrumental hip hop with some glitching on the side and its fucking dope. When I heard ggr last summer it was a good experience for me, I actually locked myself in my room for a whole week and hallucinated which felt like 4 months I was in there. During that moment I had ggr out loud. It gave me a content happy vibe feeling. Maybe this sort of music style may be the answer to the future of music we all can simply enjoy without bashing on it.

Chino's review: Foreign music

So it isnt technically a music post but it sorta is depending how you see it. I am not good with Pop music neither am I a fan of Pop music. I hate it and I sadly can't stand it. But during summer I found these 2 a bit interesting. Yes Kpop's Girls generation... Okay who the fuck am I kidding I am here posting about something not releated to the blogs music and I know I broke the blog code but hear me out. Its for the shits and giggles. I need a rest from all the shit I post here. I mean what music blogspot covers up majority of the shit I have done. I mean look at the dates I sometimes post music from 1-6 times a fucking week. It has got to be one of the few highly active blogspots in blogspots. Maybe not famous or well known as MEM or Chug life or those other good ones that have 40 people run them yet they seem to look on daily posts for that matter. Point is I need a break from music and concentrate in much more of a different perspective in music... Hmmm by starting off. Around August I believe early or mid August I found myself wrapped to 2 artists on the pop area. One I just mentioned Girls Generation and the Jpop's big star Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. This was a little few days are hours after discovering Silent Siren or even Onsa to that extend of point. Youtubing my curiosity of music choice mainly because I did got over the whole Emo violence noise and as for Math rock it is hard to find many of the good ones mainly because I have already found most of them. I started noticing a pattern on both music styles. So my concious turned to something I might just want to listen maybe to get back at my music. It doesnt really mean I am a hipster because I enjoy other culture in music but I am the guy who will appreciate music even if its at its lowest quality like the American pop music. And since I have studied music for the past 3-4 years I may want to focus on other music of other regions in that case. I don't want to be that "hardcore" asshole who believes "My music is so good and your music is faggot gay shit" no not that guy we all hate that guy we'd all have to agree. So by turning into the pop music in other countries I mainly compared them to the crap I live right next to. So lets speak of it shall we. This is rather more of a lets say lesson review or a opinion of music.

Finding Girls generation wasn't as hard as any of us expect bands like Tricot, Silent siren and Onsa were much harder to find in reality. Listening to this 9 all girl kpop group did sorta gave me a mix feeling on there music but I will give it to them they still impressed me due to the fact they all have equal parts to there songs. I have also learned 2 of these hot babes are from the U.S and speak English and don't have the accent neither. I came across some songs of there's that were okay but just not my kind of jam until.... I came across Gee. Yes the song Gee... Which was in fact on there second release but the first EP they made entitled Gee. Gee is those songs that makes you say "What in the fuck did I hear, but how genius was it to come up with a great chorus, beat, tempo, rhythm of the song" its highly rare to even come across these songs. Especially for me because I dont look into VMA artists or shit like that. Apperantly this kpop song came out in 2007 (I was about 15/16 at the time) I don't remember anyone ever mentioning the song (Due to not knowing anyone that heard kpop) most people at my school were ignorant with music and believed they were big shits for listening to the same shit everyone was capable of finding in limewire at the time (I include myself but I was only into bands such as Moneen, At the drive in, The mars volta, and Emanuel) now that I think about it I wasn't much of a screamo fan mainly because I thought after listening to bands like Underoath or Alesana Screamo sucked so bad (Not til I came across my first Real screamo bands Audience of One and The Spirit of versailles) lets not change subject now.. Actually Gee was sold wide world in every country the song was that good I must say for others of different countries to even like it. So it should be critically wide known as of now. It was a big big hit. So after listening to Gee and how obsessed I was with the song for like a week or 2 in August which was last month. I kept it as a secret I never mentioned the song neither did I played it out loud. I didn't even put it in my ipod to begin with just for how much of a big scandalous deal I was making it about. After getting too much into it I finally went on ahead and downloaded that Gee EP and was I very disappointed but like I said still impressed at how kpop is much better than Apop. Mainly because kpop focuses on different rhythm patterns in which Apop is much more of a half assed song that can take 10 minutes to make. As for the song Gee it seemed like they took a good while to make the perfect.song Girls generation will be remembered by. The 5 songs sounded nothing like Gee neither did the rest of the discography. But I managed to come across a CD single of Gee which is simply Gee as a 3 track. One being the normal Kpop Gee, a Japanese language of Gee and a sorta instrumental of Gee. Would I buy it? Perhaps its 10 bucks plus 3.99 shipping. I'd say maybe if I have spare bucks. But as for myself I ended up adding the Kpop Gee version and a full on instrumental version of Gee mainly because the beat is too fucking good to easily let go of. I might want to make love to it one night so I need that just in case. So that ends the story of Girls generation and how far I got to ever liking them as my music legacy. They are added on my library of music knowledge of course.

Instrumental

As for Kyary Pamyu Pamyu I would say she is much more of the better version of Lady gaga? (A personal.opinion) This chick is actually a model and some blogger. She then began to make music. As for her music let me explain slowly by releases. I went on with her first EP and why? Well I first came across with her single that made her famous even in America. Shit after hearing her single entitled "Ponponpon" I had a mix feeling not a negative one but a "I saw something wierd that was too wierd for me yet I digged this song so damn much" and the beat the god damn beat is pretty catchy that even her singing "ponponpon" will ring in your head afterwards. So after listening to this I went on ahead and downloaded her first EP "Moshi Moshi Harajuku EP and I was not disappointed one bit. It was just as how I expected it. It was decent and good. All 4 songs (not including the extended version of Ponponpon and the intro which is the first track) was actually very good. The flow and beat were produced very good. Whoever made the beats mustve been pros. After being stoked after listening to her EP I went on to her first debut "Pamyu Pamyu Revolution" and it wasnt as good as the EP but did have some really.good songs such as her single "Candy Candy" or Tsukema Tsukeru(Wearing false eyelashes), Drinker, Suki Sugite Kiresou (I love you so much I'm gonna explode), and Chan chaka chan chan which were the only songs that interested me on this length. As for her music videos yep there a bit odd Ill admit but something of it I just like and it fascinates me. I'll say this because I am highly new to this music and even for pop (Im not counting New kids on the block) as for the second length I have not came across it since hearing a few songs I just lost the happy vibe from the first EP. And that ends the chapter for Kyary. Good singer and hella fucking cute too. I admire her work. As well as something that will go to my music library and something I'll enjoy listening to time through time.

The point to this post is that. It really doesnt matter what you listen to. But before you listen to something question yourself "Why is it that I don't like this" or "What's it making it for me not to enjoy this" don't say "I hate it and I just don't like it". People like that lack music skills and have actually the worse music taste to ever come into. Don't be that person. I've given bands like Circa survive, The Pine, Cap'n jazz, Native, Colossal, Minus the bear, At the Drive-In, Our sunday affairs, etc a chance that K even own some of these bands albums like an example, I own Colossal's EP and full length. You may never know and they may be the best shit you'll listen to that it might be considered your favorite band or group. Which is why bands like Onsa, Prove, Malegoat, Tricot, Silent siren, The Cabs, 3mc tour, Akutagawa, Dig leg, A picture of her, and Kyojaku have been bands I have actually enjoyed listening to. You may want to do the same. Get it out there and have more musical experience to gain knowledge or even to simply enjoy. That being said I rest my case with this post and enjoy music.

La bella

Yeah, here is another cali hardcore punk/skramz band that you may be or not be aware of. There fucking awesome. I saw these guys in Summer at the Growing up is dumb fest alongside with Adventures, Notongue and Calculator. These guys rocked the crowd. I even picked up a copy of there Recomposition 7" although it doesnt have the 7 songs as the bandcamp. It oddly misses the last song which disappointed me a bit. Other than that I was glad to buy it regardless. The band is currently working on some full length (hopefully not a split, I am starting to get annoyed of splits these days) the band does have the Saetia Self titled CD/LP signature style but mich more im a hardcore punk status (if you get that) the band has done 2 7"s the one I picked up and the out of print self titled which is good but I think Recomposition does it a bit better because of the bands positive progression of musicianship. If you havent heard em go listen to them and buy merch. If you haved good for you. Enjoy.

So stressed

A band member from this band (Morgan) sent me an email on this lovable band I just heard. Its nice to know bands want to be in my blog and I will try really hard to post them in here. Lately I been busy with work and school. But today is my free day so lets start with a new upcoming band of the day shall we? The band's genre is a combination of some noisy punk. Its not noisy to the point you cant make out anything of it, this band still has rhythm and flow going on in each song which was the reason what drove me to like this band. So stressed seems like the perfect pitch of bands for the noise rock genre. For a Sacramento band this may be another epic band coming from there. The band started in 2010 and released this length on tape later in CD. I personally enjoy listening to new music so the chances of me liking this was huge anyway. If your in a noisy rock mood you might also wamt to give this a try, songs like Little TV and Secret beasts were my favorite in the length. I dont know if the band died afterwards but lets hope not because I do in fact want more tunes to hear. You might want to download the mediafire link since it contains a bonus song that isnt on bandcamp.

Attracted to open mouths

The Cabs

So while searching for Tricot and posting the new song on my facebook Dan Vo (Guitarist from Leer) ended up showing me this Japanese Math rock/Posty/Screamoish band in which he told me he got his guitar skittles influence from. Pretty neat I must say. I am not too too familiar with the band since I just discovered them last night but they have released 2 EP's and a Full length in early of this year. He also mentioned about some compilation songs but that would be very impossible for me to find unless someone gathered all the songs into one zip or rar file. So the band is genius the guitars are wild the vocals are good and I like this band. I heard that they broke up and the guitarist is literally missing which is pretty sad and a bummer how someone goes missing but like I said I haven't gotten too much details or went in deep with the band. Maybe I should of before posting them on here but I don't have much time. Yeah they did a few music videos I haven't heard the second EP neither have I heard the full length yet since I knocked out listening to the EP which is really great. I am glad Dan should me this band. I mentioned to him to show me any others similar to this one and Tricot he did say majority of both bands labels have bands that sound exactly like these 2. I guess I can't possibly say much only that I am excited that I found these bands to listen too while I exercise or even sit down and listen to.

Tricot

Last night I was on my ass doing nothing. But since I am getting a job which also means less time posting good stuff on here or post stuff til later in the night I sure might as well do 3 posts today. Another of those Japanese bands. Yes, this time Tricot is a Math rock/Indie band that consists of 3 females which are Bass, Guitars and Vocals and a male Drummer who kicks ass. They all kick ass. While youtubing randomness I came across this band last night I actually heard one of the newest songs that will be going on the bands first full length entitled "T H E" in October that also means that album may be on the top list too. So the band has odd time signatures and jazzy notes at times with well put breakdowns between songs which sorta reminds me of how early Minus the bear with with some Lautrec guitars would sound like. So I scoped around the internet and I was able to find both of the EP's and about 3 single out of the 5. I wasn't able to find the first 2 singles they made. Might be impossible but if I do of course I will post it up here. So the band is good and it isn't poppy as Silent Siren. Just make sure to download these tunes because I gathered them for you guys to easily get since I am the one busting my ass off finding these hard tunes. I had to translate Japanese words with English words just to find some mediafire crap link for this stuff it took about 2 hours to find all these non stop searching. The first video is from the bands new coming album. The other videos are from both EP's listen to them and see if you dig math rock Japanese skills from Asian girls.... AsiangirlsAsiangirlsAsiangirlsAsiangirlsAsiangirlsAsiangirls :3 I love them.

The Pine's Demo tape and Eight songs tape

WHile random searching to see if and only if anyone has uploaded The Pine's legendary demo tape I realized there were in a few accounts but the problem was that it wasn't in a fucking file. Angry about this I came across a dropbox file holding not just the demo tape but the Eight songs tape that features early versions of Doing the best he can, Days slipping by, Growing calm together, Desperate and lonely, Rainclouds, Down below, Don't love me, and Junkyard. While the first 3 I named were in the LP Days slipping by, Desperate and lonely was put on a compilation LP, Rainclouds and Down below were in The saddest landscape split and Junkyard was put in a split with La Quieta. Anyways I wanted to make a small post about this since I don't look back into old bands anymore. I will continue with the big posts of the day.

Silent Siren

So today we will look into a pretty big band from... Japan. Yes I said it. Japan again. A all girl band... Yeah, right now your thinking "Why the fuck?" well let me be blunt. I adore Silent Siren deep inside. And if you don't know who they are let me explain. Silent Siren is a jpop/indie rock band that consists of 2 or 3 Japanese models while one or 2 of them are friends of the models. They even wear there clothing trademark that they model for which is much better than the shit in the U.S now that being said this band is fucking catchy (Sadly I don't understand what they are saying) but did make a bunch of shitload of releases. The band started in late 2011 and since then they have released 2 EP's, 3 Singles and a full length (which will go on my top 2013 list)... Before I go one I will say this, I am a guy who likes giving music its chance even when I doubt the music I will look back and inspect it whether why I don't like it or why I should change my mind and like it, this has happened to many bands of the past such as Minus the bear, Colossal, The Pine and even Circa survive's early stuff. When I gave this band a chance I automatically loved the tunes. If you can't stand music like this and you are a ignorant piece of shit who sticks with the same flow of music then this band may not be for you, but for those who experiment with there taste of music maybe give this a shot. Who knows you may like it like I did. It took a while to get the singles from this band that didn't make it in the full length. They did music vids for the singles though. I really like the song Filter and even Crazy lady and the one that did the top hit Stella. So I did a zippyshare file of each release. I added Crazy lady and Filter together since they were in different singles. In August which was last month the band released 2 songs as a single. I just heard them and there pretty dope. The band hasn't change much sound like most bands do. Well here are some music vids from the songs. And if you dig it download it. I know many of the DIY hardcore twinkly whatever blogspots would not post this on there blogspot but fuck that shit if Chug life was able to post Third eye blind I should to post a great band that is foreign to our ears. Enjoy.

Battle royale

I shouldve had mentioned this band before when they released there 4 way split LP. Good movie too by the way. I digged it more than that shitty hunger games crap. Anyways, its sad to see bands like these last shortly after a shitty live demo, 1 split, and 2 EP's the band disbanded in May of 2013. There last show took place on the 12th. The last 4 songs they did, were far out good and showed good potential for the bands later future releases. But my guess is were never going to see that. Anyway there a cool hardcore screamo kind of band. Damn I really wish they could have made more. There 4 song EP is going on my top 2013 list. Seriously. For a 4 track EP. Its that good. So check it at there bandcamp.

Native- Orthodox

Another album I was waiting on this year. I saw these guys play at Echoplex with a friend in February of this year. I ended up buying We delete; erase EP, Wrestling Moves and donating them money and because we both my friend and I got a free poster. I got to meet Bobby Marcos and Daniel Evans. There liveset was really fucking good, the band played clean and played new songs from Orthodox. The liveset was actually recorded as well. A band called Junius and Caspian played as well which were good too but Native played first. I wished I brought a backpack since I was holding on to the merch throughout the whole show since it started at 9 pm and didnt end til about 12:30ish am close to 1. Nonetheless it was a good set they did. And now Orthodox was released on August 20 or 24 I dont remember the exact date but in between there. Bobby's vocals sorta change so did the band, sounding more mature than We delete and Wrestling moves. Too be honest I kinda didn't like the change but don't get me wrong it's still a really good album. I was hoping for at least a 10 song length with no short instrumentals like they had in Wrestling moves but instead it Orthodox is 8 songs. The songs are still driven in the same Native form but just more matured and toned down. Books on tape is one of my favorites from the album which was the first song to be previewed for Orthodox. I still hope Native does there thing still since the band was going through the bad stages in one being stressed out on making this release which took them 3 years to release it since Wrestling moves was released in 2010. It is a good album though I actually am waiting to see if amazon will have it for a cheaper price on CD if not then I'll buy the vinyl version of the album.

Ask for answers

Since early fall of last year Ask for answers been sorta around as a project 90's influence Orchid a la-Raein sorta type. We tried making some songs but we all sorta lagged it except Filip who is the vocalist who was pretty much the only dude on top of this. Although not much of my guitar parts are heard on here. I do hope on the next release Ill be ahead of the game. We all have different influence but in the end it is related to DIY, Skramz and musicianship. If your those diy skramz hardcore nerds that like bands from today that sound like the older generation of emo bands AFA may by your medicine. Anyways check the demo out.

Bergeron

So I just discovered this band on one of the facebook groups I am in called The Dope Show. And it has members of Hot Cross, yes Hot Cross. This band sorta reminds me of Hot Cross somewhat, it's a good thing. The vocals really remind me of Billy Werner no lie. For a second I thought Billy Werner was on this band. The bands influences draws from Native, Ten Grand, Drive like jehu and a bunch others. Anyway I just wanted to do a quick post. I am a sure the name Billy Werner caught your attention. So just check it. They have recently put together a 4 track tour demo and a 6 track self titled extended play. There pretty good but I do hope they dont quit soon since the s/t was released in 2011 and the tour demo was recently made. So I hope there isnt an entire year or 2 year gap with no release on the next release.

Leer - Springbreaknoparents

The LP I been waiting for has finally arrived. All summer I couldnt stop thinking of sb/p ever since I saw these guys play the new jams at growing up is dumb fest. If you were there. Yes I was that guy overly excited moshing and jumping then again we all got overly excited when we saw them right? Damn right. This new LP/tape features 6 new songs and a returning one which was featured on the Kalifornia Mixtape so about 7 songs. Well while listening to this I couldnt stop thinking that I am finally listening to this. Sunday night I even had a dream that I was listening to these jams. Thats how totally stoked I got. It has the crossover sound of there EP and that split with Cerce although I dont hear much tapping on these song besides a few notes here and there but the songs still amaze me. Even now. I think these guys deserve the attention of the year for pulling out something this good up there sleeves such songs as Spring break and Commemoration are definetly going to be some classics for the future Leer. In which I hope this band keeps on bringing these jams back. I also do hope to catch em at a show and purchase this LP and a shirt and hopefully I get a free hug. They are the best. Now to calm my ass down... As of now sb/p is for free on there bandcamp. You can check it and give it a listen and possibly donate as well. And if they play around your area don't sleep on it. This isnt a average noisy skramz band with 0 strums. This band has some good rhythm going along the lines of each song. This is going up my 2013 top album list and it may. Just may be on top of the league.

Post/Pre Ursa Theodorus

Someone close to this band sent me some stuff from Ursa that was never released or released but never mentioned. Yeah kinda wierd. I dont like rejecting requests from people especially on the sort of tunes I look into but anyway these are some of the stuff Ursa did when they were as a band before Ursa and after I believe. It isnt that band and I quiet digged it alot. So if your into the whole Ursa thing. Check this out. Swedes was pre Ursa while the rest is post Ursa.

Future sandwich (repress)

So I got a email from one of the dudes from them, roaringtwenties on about Future sandwich repress cd which will also be on tape. Hearing this got me stoked but I already own Future sandwich. So I checked the bandcamp out and it also includes the tracks from Vagina Monologues but backwards played, ehh I did wanted to hear them in normal play since the songs from that EP are freaking awesome. Well since I am still waiting on a few more releases and checking the requests I am getting on my email they will all be posted here so if you emailed me dont worry I will check and post it on my blog. Anyway, if you didnt get a chance to get Future sandwich like I did, here's your last chance. I know this is 2008 stuff but this may also go up on my top 2013 album/record list. One of the first few math rock bands I discovered for myself.

Onsa

Back again with those rare really good post today. Maybe a few of you guys didnt expect. Anyways. Yep, I came across Onsa while youtubing "Japanese Emo Bands" I came across this band with Onsa along some Japanese words and PV at the end. It turned out the songs name is entitled Silence. And my god I loved it so hard I searched everywhere and no luck. My pc's DNS server wasnt responding so I couldnt check til today. And I found Onsa's entire discography at a Japanese Forum site called Otonomai. Freakin' awesome! So I sat down last night and heard everything both demos, there 3 full lengths and 2 of the singles. I adore the bands guitar tunes. Its so fucking good. It has a lot of the twinkly like influence although some songs like Silence reminds me much more of bands like Thursday and Moneen, nonetheless this band ia increadible. They blew my mind. All there releases are A grade perfect. Too bad the band broke up either in 2008 or 2009 and started somewhere in 2002 or 2003. I finally uploaded there entire discography and I am proud to say I was the first to do this on a blogspot since I saw no other blog mentioning them what so ever. Anyway, if you digged Climb the mind then this band is much better, yes I said it. Better. Check these tunes. There rare to come across too. There somewhat similar to some really emo, twinkly-ish jazzy riffs. Most notes are played in clean amps. But its worth checking into. All song titles are put into english words.

New years - Sky Swallow Me Whole

Yeah I know Chug Life did it but I want to post it also. A band I discovered on Chugs blog. And I ended up liking it. This band took about a year to release there debut 9 song length. Which is quiet a while. No demo no nothin' from what I know since the band never mentioned it. I believe it has members of Age Sixteen, yeah you know the one influenced by Suis La Lune. Anyway, I checked these songs and there worth mentioning on here although I havent checked if anyone checks up this blog. I sometimes feel like no one does. But if you do thanks. Woah I went off topic. The band has its own twinkly emo moments and somewhat 90's sound emo moments. Regardless there jams are pretty gloomy but in a good way. If you havent checked up on this band. Check that length. Its very good and worth going on my top album list of 2013. For a debut length thats pretty increadible in my book. Ill now go back to my nap... zzzz...

Lobby Boxer

So right now I am listen to this bands 3 song debut ep entitled Teddy. And I have actually made my mind to add this on my blog and share to you all. I am guessing one of the members who is also on one of the facebook groups I am in entitled Twinkle daddies. I check anything thats posted on the groups that is new and I havent heard of. So this is one of the 3 bands I came across today as new new. I wanted to add this one first. Yes its 3 songs and its a free download. I cant describe how they sound but its pretty good emo shit for your ears. The second track stoled the whole ep although all 3 songs are very good. The quality is amazing. Its good that is all I can say. So check it and download it. They won a fan today for sure and that is me.

Bandcamp

Teen/Ragers

I randomly came across this math rock/noodly twinkly/indie emo band when someone on one of the facebook groups I am in posted them up. Once I checked there bandcamp I realized these guys are pretty new barely releasing a debut 7 song EP entitled Rick Neagan. And my god its good. It reminds me of Them, roaringtwenties on some parts of the guitars. Very random twinkly like. The band also has a live demo they recorded when they played with Native. The band hasnt made any physical copies yet but I do hope they make some soon so I can buy one. The band is very twinkly indie emo like. You know what that means. Its good shit.

Bandcamp

Small steps

New band of the day, Small steps recently released there debut EP tape entitled Puzzlejar which they remind me of Calculator and The Reptilian smashed into one. Pretty awesome right? Yes indeed. They have also done a 4 song demo which sounds totally different from Puzzlejar but I am still more of a fan on there new sound. Besides this going on my top list I do hope itll someday be released on a vinyl. So if you like Calculator and The Reptilian this may be something to look into. The band not to long ago went on tour too bad they didnt come to California, I hope they do some day. Anyway there bandcamp has the free downloads to Puzzlejar and there Whoops. Demo. Go and buy there tape as well.

Bandcamp

Maumelle

This band followed me on instagram so I checked them out and they are very rad. They recently released there debut EP entitled 1997. The songs must be personal since it speaks of the vocalist parents. I even got teary halfway this EP. Its very good and has the mix sound of Make Me/Merchant Ships. I do expect much more music coming from them soon. But as there debut EP. They are quiet the excellent band as starters. That is all.

Bandcamp

City Of Ifa

August is around the corner and a block down are a few new records cool bands will be putting out. I came across City of Ifa on Last.fm while scrolling on math rock stuff. I hate the word "Mathcore" it sounds stupid so I guess my best way to describe them is math rock with solid post hardcore and some hardcore skramz like influence. The thing that excites me the most is that this band is under the whole DIY stuff. They have released about 3 albums, 2 EP's and a split and are currently working on a 4th length. I will say that they are better than The Fall Of Troy by 100 times. The screaming vocals is pure perfect and even the singing vocals (which annoys me at times) are pretty good too. Well there first album Overture and there second length Black Pyramid have more of a screaming vocals rather than singing. While there first EP is much more of an instrumental with one track that is about 30 seconds with screaming vocals. There second EP Sketchy Youth has a cross over of screaming and singing vocals which isnt so bad. There latest length Blue Shoes does come with some screaming vocal suprises but mostly poppy singing vocals (I am not much of a fan of for this band since it doesnt suit them) but the musicianship is very strong when I hear that album. One of there splits with Hentrietta entitled "Everyone is (Not) you" the split follows along much more poppier vocals than Blue shoes. It is my least favorite release of theres to tell you the truth. Not long ago they released a
Split Vowel/Things fall apart/Light black/City of Ifa. In which they went back to more screams and less singing which I am glad they turned toward to again. To wrap it all up the band has a pretty cool signature sound especially the crazy ass guitar riffs on Overture and Black Pyramid. If your a fan of "Mathcore" (Ugh I hate that word) well you know what I mean, this band will interest you. I do hope for that length to either sound like Black Pyramid or Overture. So check it and download it. Also the band needs some money so buy there stuff also.

Goodmorning peeps, anyways here's a new band as well feautring members of Father figure and Innards I think? :O

Its the same form of Skramz (whatever) while I am here bored in class enjoy this band. Im fucking bored in class. This shit is also going on my top 2013 list of albums.

Sepia//Memory & Slumlord

Sepia//Memory
A fine cloudy saturday morning here in Long Beach. It looks like better music will be played here after all. I recently started on a project entitled Sepia//Memory. So what is Sepia//Memory? This project I am starting is a Kolya/The Exploration influence that was one piece and now a 2 piece band. I wouldnt say that its exact a twinkly band (Since thats something from the Midwest) but I will say it draws some of that influence. Anyways its in sing talk lyrics form, Ive recently released an EP entitled The Red Room Sessions #1, a 2 song single "Sleep Patterns/Jargon" and the most recent 2013 Summer Demo. Right now I am currently working on a EP as a 2 piece. So far I have 6 songs done for it. The meaning of this project is to simply let go of the things I been holding into for years. Its like my therapy.

Slumlord
Before I began on Sepia//Memory Slumlord was a odd project I did. In October 2012 I was working on a 7 track EP entitled Night Noise. The songs ended up getting accidentally deleted and only one was saved so I had to start over with 5 other songs. Once I recorded the 5 Night Noise EP ended up being a 6 track. It has a solid mixture of Instrumental/Psychedelic-like/Ambient sound. A few weeks after that release I began working on a 10 song cassette. The release was unofficially released and the tape ended up being on the tape deck of the recorder for months which I ended up forgetting about I ended up posting the 10 songs on bandcamp as a Unreleased Cassette. There a bit more odd than the ones on Night Noise EP (Maybe the reason why I never released it). Will this project continue? Maybe as of now I am pretty much focused on Sepia//Memory and another band I am trying to start called "Omoide O Kataru" (Means Remnisce in Japanese). Slumlord was more of a mind relax stress free project. It would make me sleep to the tunes and have a content mood the next day. It wasnt my therapy but more of content flashbacks.

Ardvarck - High Hopes EP

Another new band I discovered this week. It has members of Lautrec and Lion of the north. So you guys pretty much know I am on this thing really really hard since I am a Lautrec nerd. It has the similar Lautrec-ish guitar style and somewhat on the vocals not too much though. But its good. I cant say too much but just check out there debut EP. Its great and it is going on my 2013 list as well. I hope these guys keep making more tunes and what not. Cheers!

Deaf Ears- Summer Demo '13

Welp its another summer day. And I am pretty much good to go for another quick post. This band is new new meaning they recently released there 2 song Summer demo at least about 2-3 weeks ago and my god its fucking good. They are from Arizona and have a similar style to Innards/Lautrec/Father Figure. So if you like those 3 bands I will say to check this. Check them out. This Summer demo is insanely good. Very good. Still life with candle approved.

Luscious Duncan

Not to long ago during the time I found out about The Sooper Swag Project. I also came across one of the guys from TSSP and it was the bassist I think his name is Brain? Not to familiar with the midwestern scene as I am with the so kali scene here. Anyways during that time he also recently released his debut 13 track length entitled "Controls the universe" or "Luscious Duncan Controls The Universe" theres some nice good songs on there and a few bland mediocre songs, one of the songs from the debut length was also in TSSP's Self-Titled called "Stash". Afterwards a few months he came with the release of a 4 track EP called The New Galaxies EP which isnt so bad and much more progress from the debut length. Not too too long ago he posted 4 bsides from the debut length that weren't released for another EP entitled Undiscovered Galaxies EP. I really don't know why he didnt put them up on his debut length because those 4 songs are much better than some of the mediocre ones on that length. It has.my favorite track entitled "Dank Like Jesus" (which I was speaking of on TSSP's post) I am not in the hip hop/rap game but if I dig these tunes might as well check it. He isnt a bad rapper (Even if he isnt taken seriously) he is pretty good actually. He released about 4 music videos which 3 are from his debut and one from the first EP. All 3 releases are for free on his bandcamp. Im about to enjoy the rest of the day exercising, cleaning a bit and getting some stuff done for my project which I will soon post on here as well.

Calculator @ VLHS 6/28/2013

Welp here is the Calculator set for those who dont know about. I am actually right in front of the set and I am shown (white calculator tour t-shirt, messy hair in a bun)
They did a great job thats all I can really say. I was pumped and psyched just like everyone else who was moshing and dancing. I hope theres a next one for next summer so that I can play with my band. I was hoping for the new record to be there so I can buy it, but its still in pre-order. Anyways check it out

Adventures

Welp another stilllife session. The weather here in California is odd it was raining last night and now its cloudy and cold. For July and being summer this is perahps the first time its been cold for summer. So lets talk about the Philly band Adventures. I saw them at VLHS a few weeks ago (Growing up is dumb fest) what got me much more hooked was that I was close into crying during the set I felt the vocalist pain of emotional words being said on the mic (She is pretty cute no lie) what tripped me out was that all the emo kids popped out from the crowd and began moshing to the slow sad jams being played. Nonetheless this band is so 90's like similar to Everyone asked about you, Crash and Britany, Eldritch Anisette, The Pennikurvers and all those 90's female vocalist bands that also involves shouting. It wasn't the first time I heard of them on the show. A few weeks before Growing up is dumb fest began someone on one of the five groups I am in posted a bandcamp link to Adventures. In which I think the band Alta did or was it Justin from Alta now that I am thinking back. Anyway, I gave them a listen and I loved it so much. They currently have a 4 song self titled 7" and another 4 song 7" entitled "Clear my head with you" (Which was released in June little less than a month ago). From what I been hearing from rumors is that they are currently working on a split with the band Pitty Sex. I do wish for a full length but fuck it. The new 7" is good and sad enough to be on my top list of 2013 albums. So if you like them 90's emo chick singer bands. YOU WILL I MEAN YOU WILL LOVE THIS HARD ENOUGH TO CRY.

Btw I was in this set. Ill post the Calculator set on also. I am waiting for La Bella's and NoTongue's video

Adventures 7"

Clear my head with you 7"

NoTongue - Body+Mind 7"

So right now I am in my summer class and all I have been doing is just listen to NoTongue's new 4 song 7" entitled "Body+Mind" (Like right now) Ever since the release of //// or I would say there s/t ep cassette I been day dreaming on this future release. I remember some of the songs being played at the VLHS show on the 28th of June for the Growing Up Is Dumb fest alongside La Bella, Adventures and Calculator. I remember dancing I mean dancing to NoTongue's new songs. When NoTongue's set ended I stopped by to say "Yo" to Nik who is in the band and also on Calculator's. I asked for this 7" because I wanted to buy it. Sadly, it wasnt out yet and was going to take 2 more weeks. Kyeo Speaks (Mark from Summer Vacation) released the vinyl. Its pretty cool though that he did. I am planing to see them live again. It was freaking amazing and hopefully catch up to buy the 7". The 4 songs are a trip and just something new and powerful to me. It is a really memorable vinyl to me mainly because of NoTongue's signature sound which yes I would say Calculator/Matsuri smashed like smores (Since Nik is from Calc. and Andrew is from Matsuri, dont forget he was in Moldar also) Anyways make sure to catch them on a show there way beyond good and also buy that 7" from Mark if you see him or on Kyeo Speaks fb page or blog or whatever. This is another release that is not just going on my top album list of 2013 but on the top 5 since its really good. They may be 5 or 4 or even 3? possibly 2 on the list.

The Sooper Swag Project

Okay let me get this straight. I heard of TSSP on Chug Life's blogspot. I have to admit, the name sounded silly til I found out that 2 of the guys are from the instrumental math rock band "The Para-Medics" So I gave them a listen and holy mother of ass I really got soo hooked. LD has some pretty good sick lines I must say that kid is my favorite rapper of todays time. In early 2013 they released there second length entitled "Next Level" along with a single for there next upcoming 3rd length called "Keep on samplin'" Shit hits the roof hard. Because of these guys I enjoy rap more often now besides C////O (Whatever happened to them they seemed to disappear?), Bone thugs n' harmony, Nate Dogg, and Cypress Hill. Anyway these 3 guys have done little music vids and unfortunately they also landed on my top album list of 2013. Even Luscious Duncan's Undiscovered Galaxies EP landed on my top list because of the "Dank Like Jesus" track which won over "Yes Yes" and "Fucktown Fantasies of new galaxies".
There stuff is for free on there bandcamp which includes there self titled, Yesid the creator single, Next level and Keep on samplin' single. Here's some of the vids they have done. I am also posting Namdi's vid although it isn't related to TSSP but the song is sexy. I also heard of them making some shirts. I am willing to buy a few because I am that much in love with TSSP. I hope they release the self titled and Next Level on CD or LP or both sometime in the future.

Namdi's wierd awesome song (Not a SSP song but really good as well)

Toasted Plastic

The other day (well a few weeks ago) without much mention of a release date. Toasted plastic (Better than The Beatles) released there debut this summer (Yes many fucking releases this summer) entitled "June Highs" its about 8 songs long and much more progress from the rest of the releases. Don't get me wrong I love the other releases but June Highs is probably that one release where you can hear the progress of the band. Anyways I been into these guys since late 2012 but I don't think I ever mentioned them. They also released 2 EP's when they barely started which isn't on there bandcamp but I will say there mediocre I prefer the releases from the bandcamp page much more. The band is a mixture of math rock-ish/Indie/Emo but definitely some really catchy catchy summer tunes you'll fall in love with. Yes better than The Beatles

The Reptilian- Low Health

I am back for more dicks. Welp lets get to the main point on this post. The fucking Reptilian came out big with there first debut length entitled "Low Health". Ever since I bought Full health 10" I always been day dreaming on how this Low Health will sound like. And it sounds splendid ass fuck. Really fucking powerful alongside Calculator's debut. Like I said, many lengths are coming out big this year. This debut length has 10 noodly twinkly skramz songs. Although I will mention. It's still not enough for me. Being a fan since the release of Boys life EP I look back to the past years even during my high school youth and I realized it took them a while for a debut length. But I will give them props for being on my top 2013 list of albums. Anyway order this LP/CD soon plus Count your lucky stars also released a tape of We have become EP/Boys life Ep together as an 8 song tape. I literally jizzed when I heard cyls was going to release this. Check it check it and buy it.

Here's a video of them playing the second track off "Full Health" fucking sexy ass hell

Calculator

Well yes I am back and to start off by saying I won't be posting anymore dead bands I am officially sticking with modern ones, reasons why? There are many blogs that cover old same old bands all the time. It is pointless of me doing that and also to add those bands were from that time we need to rock with our socks and sandwiches to the new ones of our generation. To start off now with the post, I recently saw Calculator on Friday at the VLHS in Pamona alongside with a band called Adventures who remind me of Rainer Maria/Everyone Asked About You and Crash and Britany, NoTongue and La Bella (Which I bought there 7" Recomposition. Anyways we all did sing alongs danced and moshed. Well when Calc. started shit got real I remember at one point I was close in fainting because of the small space and heat. I thought to myself it be worth dying this way. Calculator not to long ago released there 2nd length entitled This will come to pass which in my own personal opinion is THEE shit. I hear a lot of progress from These roots grow deep and this new full length. Although I liked These roots more mainly because of the guitars using clean notes and stuff but fuck it This will come to pass is truly a way to show some bands can progress in a more better way. The length is sweet with shorter songs yet song good melody breakdowns and memorable lyrics. I been a sorta fan of Calculator during the early release of These roots grow deep but when listening to the new length I come to realize I love Jeff and I don't hate him anymore like I used to (jk Jeff, I throw into my Calc. tour shirt on the first day of Growing Up Is Dumb) Anyways heres a little here and there from them plus a vid from New Forms 7"

Back and running con burritos y jose cuervo

Well yes I have returned months later. If only you guys knew the cool heavy shit thats happened since February. I actually saw that many of you guys still visit this page and get like 30-40 views a day. I really didn't think anyone would come back on here. I assumed this blogspot died on its own but FUCK THAT. I am back for good bros.Starting sunday I will post stuff and new new stuff. Here are my updates on the shit I done so far. College, buying albums, I also went to go watch Native in LA in February and my god they were soooo amazing. I went to go watch ACxDC and they were intense and scary as well. I got a lot of news for those who don't live in California and tomorrow is Growing up is dumb fest. This is a diy fest with a bunch of cool ass bands on a 3 day thing. 2 are in Pamona and one in LA and I am going. So California friends come with me. I will be turning 21 during the fest so stop by and say happy bday or some shiiet. . Ill upload a video on the whole thing so yep. Dont worry Ill soon have dead links ready to go. But I also want to add something on the side note. Please if you like a band buy there stuff don't come up with "I am broke" if you like that specefic band at the most stop buying panties and buy that record seriously. The reason I left this blog was becaue many people dont buy none of this stuff. In the past 2 months I have bought Colossal's EP and length, Chune's 2 albums, Portrait's discography, The spirit of versailles discography, Native's EP and full length, vitreous humor's ep and the regrets only full length plus American football's original artwork on the first EP or would I say Single series. So please do yourself a favor and support the band or label. So stay tuned for Monday or sunday for some announcements and new posts I will put on here.

Sharks keep moving

Well just like Colossal, Sharks keep moving was also a band aike Colossal but started n 1997 or 1998 I think. It has Jake Snider from Minus The Bear. Well the band free forms Jazz and indie/Math Rock Scales. They broke up in 2002. As much as I know the band released a split 7", 2 EP's, a full length and did about 5 or six compilations. Yep thats as much they made. 19 songs I would say counting all on my ipod. It was mentioned the band was going to put out a discography that alo carries a few unreleased songs but its been a while since the word was out and I doubt itll ever be put out. So this is the music I have been following for a good 2 months now. I mean its pretty good and I am those people who likes a taste of any band that sounds epic. Iv'e actually been listening to this band on my way to class on the bus since my semester started in February 5th. Because I am a big fan of American Football anything remarkable to there twinkly mathy sound I will dig anything that totally reminds me of them. So bands like Sharks Keep Moving, Colossal, or even Marquette, Penpal and Pennines is something I also like.

Colossal

Yes, I am finally back again after a month and a few days with no post. Well let me hit you with some shit thats been going on ever since the last post. One is big kinda, I recently started a internet project band with a few homeboys I met on facebook's groups I am in I don't remember how but we formed a Skramz/90's emo influenced internet band which apperantly it will be caled "Ask for answers" we are still working on a 7 song demo and so far we have 3 of the songs for the guitars done for the demo. I also did a song on my own which doesnt flow to the demo's Skramz up stuff but flows more into an early Kolya style sound (one of the songs that are also done) as far as I can look back this is as much done we gotten over the past 2 months actually. Anyways. So since this semester has started I've looked back through a few past bands and found a few interesting ones as my semester of college has started its been a bit rough on me this semester because I am running on a low buget for books which i ended up getting all my books recently. While that sit was going on I have also been jamming with a few kiddos back at my college and this actually happened yesterday. Well now to explain this band. I couldnt help myself but look back to this classy ass Indie/Math Rock band that has some real style. I knew this band somewere along 2011 and to be quite honest I remember telling an ex at the time that one of the songs reminded me of her (which now most of the songs just remind me of this semester) since last summer I stopped hearing them for a good while. About a month ago I kept searching through my music library and I saw Colossal's EP and full length. I had to add them back again to listen to them and now I have fallen deeply into this band. This band is as good and has that classy math rock style. Shit I like shit that gots class also. As a brief bio the band started in 2001 and in 2002 the band first released a song to a compilation called "Table Setting" which is the first song the band released, in 2003 the band released there 6 song EP entitled "Brave the elements" afterwards the band toured and somewhere in January 2004 the band began writting for a 10 song full lengh which was later called "Welcome the problems" this album is a classic which I added to some of my all time favorite albums on my list. The album was released in early fall 2004 and toured again. They then came in other compilations and in 2007 the band went on haitus, since then nothing has been mentioned of this band :( I am really hoping this band to get back tgether someday and make anther full length. There to good to easily let go.

Q and not U

Well I actually knew of this band in 2010 because of Chug Life's post on them. I first didn't liked them besides Hot and informed. Well I just figured there first full length No Kill No Beep Beep is so amazing that got me hooked up on that whole Dance-Punk music. There second release Different Damage was okay but wasn't the same as there first full length and lastly there final length Power sounded totally different but okay in a way. To some it. Hot and informed and no kill no beep beep are pretty much my favorite releases. I am planning on buying no kill on 12" soon. Check it and you may like it also. I posted both files together of Hot and informed 7" and there no kill no beep beep together. 2 years later I end up listening to them again and I ended up liking them.

El Spectre's Second Demo

Well I am back and free baby. First thing is first. I checked my fall semester grades and I fucking nailed it with 2 B's and one A. So stoked I wanna get drunk today, now to the second part. One of the members recently sent me a second demo of this band. Well let me go back. The band released a 7 song 2010 demo afterwards 2 songs on the That's Punk Compilation in 2011. 2012 nothing happened and disappeared and in January 3 which was just a few days ago they sent me by email a second demo. It contains the 2 songs from the compilation along with 4 others. They still have the same sound as before and sound very kickass. They also told me they are recording another set of 5 songs within a month. This is exciting. I am glad this band didn't moved on. Spread the word El Spectre is still alive.
