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.
