The end

Still life is pretty much at its end but I finally did a more organized blogspot and this new blogspot is focused more on what I own rather than promoting bands. Only will the out of print material will have download links, so far 90% of my stuff is out of print so I rip the vinyl to mp3 and I pretty much post them on fire in a neat file. It's pretty much old school is where I am getting at. You can look at the new blogspot here
So far the new blogspot is lookin' good and I have got mad props from a few people on the focus of it. There are some bands on the new blogspot especially on mp3 rarities I uploaded. Only will there be a few times I'll post something I don't own yet still hard to find.

Akashita corporation empathy compilation

I was asked to post this and since I havent posted much on here I honestly do not mind. So this is a 6 track compilation, I am aware of the bands on here such as Wet Pedals, Billy's band Secret Smoker, Coma Regalia and Waller. I don't know the other 2. The compilation has potential to be put in vinyl instead of cassette but I guess there isnt much money going on this so yeah. If you havent heard the bands I mention you can check out here.

The Nolan Gate

I haven't posted so much here but I am back early morning. Yesterday I had hash and my god I was high all day yesterday even when i had stopped. Anyways, The Nolan gate is where Mothman left off. If you don't know Mothman they were a mid 90's hardcore/post hardcore/Mathy like band from Jersey who did 2 7"s and 2 Split 7"s one being with another great bandcalled Okara. Ill likely go on talking about these guys on my angryemonerdblogspot since I happen to have The Nolan gate's debut cd and 2 of Mothman releases. TNG has a bandcamp with all 3 albums up for free if you are curious. Sent by rays and Ocean lord are very amazing.

Kimono beach party

Last night I kept listening to this band non stop, this uk band is slightly familiar with the moves The brave little abacus brought only much smoother like. The band has put out an amazing full length entitled "Je suis lion" and it's the only thing I been playing all day. I really like the guitars and keyboards. The band has recently put out a EP not long ago (about a few weeks ago) its good but the whole keyboard thing is sorta fading out and I don't like how the mixing came out, the drums are a little to low to hear and the guitars are much louder. The quality is great but listening to the ep with headphones and especially if you mix music yourself you can hear those little details. The EP wouldve been great if the mixing was somewhat better or at least louder drums. But Je suis lion makes up for it.

Beneath the beach

Quick update post, this band I found today along with plenty of others. This one reminds me of a instrumental early Foals Antidotes-esque stuff. Its very very fucking golden. Its practicallt Foals Antidotes minus the vocals. So if that's your sort of thing this might be a perfect fit for you style of music.. Hell, that is a perfect style.

Tapestry

I haven't posted here in a while due to angryemonerd.blogspot.com but Ill try to post here. Tapestry is a Mineral-Esque band, if you like that MD 7" Tapestry is all about that. They been around since 2012 but seems like they haven't released much besides a 5 track ep, a song on that MEM crap compilation and a 2 songs on a 4 way split (which would be there recent) the band reminds me of a crossover of Typecast and Mineral but that's just me.

Lopez on the runway

Sometime yesterday I found some band some dude recommended on a music group and I liked what I heard. They have a distinct modern indie rock sound with some emo vibes thrown in some sort of Texas is the reason/The promise ring. Not as much but some lil flow. The band released 4 ep's during their 4 year lifespan, so they put out a discography tape with all these songs. And they are not bad. If you been wanting some chill relaxing indie rock tunes from a real indie rock band here is your chance to do it so.

Damezumari on bandcamp

Well I haven't had much thought on what to post next but Damezumari had the idea to post almost there entire discography on bandcamp. I shouldn't explain who they are since I have mentioned them before here and if you don't know who they are then you are missing out and you got some catching up to do. It has all releases including the unreleased Blood Meridian EP and a unreleased song that happens to be compiled with those other unreleased b sides and what not, but that specific untitled unreleased song was the last one they ever jammed to as a band and a rough draft of some sort. The bandcamp is only missing the Fire team Charlie split and for some strange reason they haven't uploaded that one yet or probably will never, who knows. Thought I'd let you all know. I also may be starting a new blogspot focused on physical releases I own ONLY, so no band recommendations or what so ever, may be new or old. Plain and simple, physical releases only. I thought about ripping some of these vinyl on mp3 along with some cassettes I got and CD's. Although I haven't bought much CD's my vinyl game has improved over the past 2 years by large. Will talk about that some other time.

Calculator's last show

Well like in the last posts I mentioned I did go to that set. I can't talk about Calculator without mentioning the other bands who played first. The first band that are (I assume) new played. Really digging the riffs here and there although no one seemed hyped for them. But many who stayed inside nodded and shit. Second band to play was Ten Thousand Leagues. I was suprised that Mark sang or even played new songs. The whole line up was different Andrew from Moldar played bass while Jeff from calculator played the guitar, nonetheless I was in love with the new tunes. La Bella was next which they announced a debut LP and played 2 new songs on their set I was digging the vibe a lot and I admire the vocalist from that band. He mentioned a story about taking his moms car driving a long way to watch calculator play. After that Dangers left, I wasnt too interested to see them although everyone else was and it seemed like most people went to go see them amd calculator. I stayed in the back on that one. Finally Calculator. I was front row on that one. They played 12 songs from all releases, we all shouted and screamed to those songs (I know the lyrics to these roots a little but more than the ones from This will come to pass. I havent heard that length as much but I loved it. At the end, they all took a photo and stuff I talked to Nik and told him he played a amazing set and asked for merch. Well I picked up the calc 7" in oxblood color and This will come to pass (I kinda wished I picked that shirt) its those nights I will remember its a sad day to say Moldar/Colorchromatic/Matsuri/John Cota/Summer Vacation/Calculator are all dead. God damn. Ill post a link to calculator's discography including the demo soon. I am planning on picking up New Forms 7" soon as well. I doubt Ill get the 4 way split LP. Almost everything I have id say.

Colossal Rex

Well I just found out they were once called Colossal Rex and released a 5 song single sided limited 12". I believe this was released last year. The songs were recorded in 2012 (still some confusion) but it is Colossal Wrecks alright. You can also download this for free or buy it off Mountain Man Records and I believe Lauren Records might have this as well.

Colossal Wrecks

Last night was one of the most important events I ever attended to. Calculator's final show. It went great and it was a extremely good set. A band called Sophie and Dangers played along side my cali favorites Ten Thousand Leagues and La Bella. Calculator played about 12 songs 1 off the last 7" another off New forms 7" and 5 off This will come to pass and another 5 off These roots grow deep. Possibly the best show I have ever went to. Well after the show I met up with Mark and I bought some merch off his label Kyeo Speaks months ago and well he was a nice guy. He had run out one of the tapes I ordered so he gave me 3 random tapes Kittyhawk, Fugue and Lester Freamon. I also got my Dream Caste tape I ordered. But he also gave me 3 records the 2 Ten Thousand Leagues splits and Colossal Wrecks debut LP (will talk about right now hold on) after that I went up to Nik about Calculator merch but he was pretty busy and I guess he didn't tell me that the merch was being sold at the back of the venue (Bridgetown DIY) and I got myself Calculator's final 7" and This will come to pass (Both Count Your Lucky Stars releases) in the end it was a cool ass night, I didnt get home until 1 in the morning. I was off beat tired. Today morning I woked up and looked at the zines I ordered and Mark threw in Her breathe on glass compilation cd What we left behind and Matsuri's Whales EP (no covers) but that is fine I can't complain. Well then I checked Colossal Wrecks and I found out these guys are from my hometown. I have known them or saw them being mentioned here and there through Lauren Records but didn't think they'd be from my area. Well they sound good. A pop punkish emo band is all I can say about them. I am not too familiar with them yet. But I will once I spin this record every so often. You can download there LP for free on their bandcamp or you can purchase one off Lauren Records or my city's finest label Mountain Man Records.
