T̶O̶N̶G̶U̶E

I been extremely busy on stupid shit I wished I wasn't busy on like the new stuff for Revolver Ocelots new and first full length so that I can do more posts on here. I have a lot to catch up on, but there's that saying "A real man does shit he doesn't like doing". So let me start off with this post. One of the members of this band told me to post there first release EP on here. I was actually going to in early Spring but what the hey I'll do it now ^.^ since there new comers still. You know the scene in the bay area is pretty dope since this band is from Oakland. Many great bands are from there. I heard this band right when this EP came out one of the members posted on facebook. I checked it and holy fuck. I freakin loved this EP. I mean for a bands first release I will say the quality isn't no skramz demo that came from a garage. Its obvious these guys are taking this stuff seriously, I mean they should. Cause I dig this good stuff. And it hurt my feelings if they weren't and would lead me to depression and cry my little eyes out. If you mixed Moldar/John Cota/Calculator/Matsuri/Kidcrash you get this since it has that similarity sound. I still have the songs on my phone and bump to it at times. I really dig the shouty/screamy vocals. But what I dig the most is the rhythm of the band its pretty upbeat to me, almost like it wants to be twinklyish but busts some jazzy skramz tempos at some point. So it is definetly really good stuff to listen to. That I'd be intense just watching them live. Or even if im drinking with friends and I play this I be nooding my head. So for you Kali Sounds fans, and Kalifornia Mixtape. If you make another compilation. Be sure to add this band to the family as well. You can't miss them. I am stoked for the new recordings coming soon. So I know I cant miss that shit out. So peeps check these guys because they play fucking awesome. I am confused whether the band is called "T̶O̶N̶G̶U̶E" or "No Tongue" or "Tongue".... Yeah -.-

The Reptilian

Lately I been hooked up again to this exciting rare of a band. SImilar sounds to Alta's and Native's groovy rhythm I do remember listening to this band when they released Boys Life EP then they later released the 3 unreleased songs in which I thought they were to be on the Later Full Health 10". Sadly they didn't but its okay that release is cool too. When they released there digital EP "We Have Become" and once I heard it.. I was blown by the mixture sound of the band. Sorta reminded me of some Ska, punk, Raggae, experimental, indie type of form music. I fucking loved it. They are jams to get faded too. I still do til this day. I have actually ordered a copy of there Boys Life EP and Full health 10". THe band later progrssed to that twinkly screamoish sound which I still think its fucking cool. It sucks they never released the 3 live songs from there cassette which I ever hope they have studio recordings of these songs. It had that sound of the 3 unreleased songs. Well I do like this band a lot and there isn't much to be said by them but just a reminder post of how awesome they are.

first track From there first digital EP (Which was also on a 4 way split CD with Lautrec/Osceola/The reptilian and boy problems.

I hate myself

While checking blogs out I discovered many of the blogs that are more modern andpost more of the mainstream bands that are to be considered "Emo" and "Screamo" aren't in fact what they label themselves. I see those bands as a modern post hardcore band which are to be entitled "Mediocre" or "Okay" on my view. Many of you might say "Well, Who cares?" Well let me tell you something, I kinda care. I am tired of running into people who tell me oh yeah I like screamo and emo music. I get hyped right after telling me this bullshit and once they give me a list of these so called bands. I pebble of shit comes out my ass from the anger that has been created after listening to shit that isn't what its labeled on. I give them a few names which are the ones I posted on here. And they have no fucking clue. Yeah you call yourself a big fan of the genre, well let me tell you little fucks (to those who don't know) it gets kinda tired after while, I mean do your research to what the fuck you like. You cant like a genre and have no idea what the fuck it is. Thats a fucking load of seamen and puke. It makes those people look like a bunch of retards. It gives the real shit a band name since those bands who poses as "Emo" or "Screamo" take up most credit that shouldn't even be given to those shitty modern post rock bands. Well fuck. Here I am again. Well this is a small post. I reember my friend Julia giving me a mixed cdr with these "Emo Violence" bands 2 songs from I hate myself were on that CD. "Caught in the flood" and "Song 3" My personal favorite. Although I wasn't a big fan on the splits the band made. I was more into 4 songs and 2 songs and a few songs from 10 songs. Yeah the releases never had a album name. Well they didnt need to, just hearing the entire record will define you the name of the album "Sad fucking shit that will make you hate yourself" there it is. Well no. Not really. From there I ended up getting there other songs. But I think 2 songs 7" and for songs LP is personally my favorite releases by this band. But you never know you might like it all. For a band in the mid-late 90's this shit was fucking emotional hardcore. I believe bands like I hate myself is the real definition was "Emo" is. I bet people who were suicidal fucking killed themselves after listening to this shit. Because if I was at that stable point, this would give me a little push to literally kill myself. Its gloomy, raw, slugish-like, sad, angry shit. I am sure many of you o.g emo freaks know who this band is and might say. Why post thise if many have posted this band. Well same reason many of the bloggers posted this band, it opened my eyes and took me in to the emo reality since many of us were stuck in the matrix. By the way I am sorry if im rambling I took many bowl shots of weed and drank 5 red bulls.

Early Kidcrash

So a while ago I was looking up Kidcrash again just to see if anything is new with them til I remembered the band took a short break so I pretty much have everything since there last release was Naps, then Snacks, then Jokes and blah. Well I found out Kidcrash had other shit they never mentioned anywhere til some dude on last.fm uploaded the early kidcrash shit which took place around there release of "New Ruins" and that "I never had a date EP" there first release was a 10 song demo cdr in 2000, also along with a EP entitled "Dissect this hour" which has 6 songs which are okay quality it isnt so much stuido like quality but still nice. And also released a 8 song entitled "A fire in the Museum". Which sounds like a mixture of new ruins and I never had a date. Its cool to finally know this band had 3 other releases which is wierd because they took time in between new ruins and there EP but what blows is.......... Why the fuck didn't I know this by now? Why couldnt the band post this shit on there site since they had all the other releases there for free download why couldn't this be up there. I mean they cant be embaressed; they even had New ruins up there. Well fuck it I found out today. It kinda steams my balls to know ever since I knew this band in late sumer 2009 I never knew this band had these other 3 releases. I figured well they never had a demo and just came with new ruins all in the sudden. It is obvious most bands release a demo before going on to some length. Even the speed of sound in seawater had garage demos of Blue version which I couldn't really find anywhere except in Damiens tumblr well. If none of you know Kidcrash had 3 other releases well there here since I re uploaded them. If you guys knew well fuck man, say something. And if none of you know who Kidcrash is well there a Post hardcore/Experimental/Screamo/ DIY whatever band that has 3 sounds actually. While there first demo, new ruins, Dissect the hour EP, A fire in the museum has more of a indie/alternative sound while I never had a date is a between new ruins and there new coming sound. there 2006 demo the 3 splits they have with L'Antietam, Arse Moreira, and Coffin dancer along with Jokes they created much of a harder sound mixing post hardcore/math rock/screamo/experimental like stuff. To me Snacks and Naps sounds more like the same crossover I was speaking of like I never had a date theres more shouting than screaming although they have that mathy rock tune on there guitars with a sorta post rock into it. So yes this bands sound changes which reminds me of At The Drive-In. I like all there releases and it is a good example of how bands can change style and still be bad mother fuckers. I will go over the other half of Kidcrash on another post. Here is an example of what I mean

Bygones By-

During Summer 2012 I ended up listening to this band. Most likely because I was on youtube searching for instrumental math rock bands. I ended up on a video entitled my top 5 math rock bands and this band ended up being there. I liked it so I checked this LP and fuck its like going to 7/11 on shrooms (well to me) its one of those really wierd math rock bands not like Loose lips sink ships or The fall of troy but its a whole different segment of math rock. I was tripping out just listening to this entire 10 song LP I mean even the front cover is like "WTF" I mean its pretty fucking cool but it still confuses me. I was actually on party pills while listening to this while trying to play fallout 3 and New Vegas and I must say it was very very woah. But I must give this band (which has the guitarist member of Tera Melos) credit for just not being your typical everyday math rock band. Therefore you are now entitled to "stilllifewithcandle" meaning "It fucking rocks and you seamen heads must check this"

HA Yeah it is one of those "Where do I find this band?" nowhere unless you were around myspace at the time this band was active. The band left a bunch of shitty stained demos and splits. Actually the band didn't left much to be exact. It is a midwestern sound mixed with Screamo although from Pennsylvania. Kinda alike bands such as Merchant Ships and stuff like that. The band didn't lived up much to be heard a lot everywhere. Maybe some of you did but that doesn't mean it was all over the place like when Count your lucky stars released Merchant Ships For Cameron EP (Which I didn't liked one bit). I sometimes even think I am missing some songs but some guy on tumblr posted a discography of this band and I reuploaded it on mediafire so that theres 2 files of these floating around in case ones gets deleted.

I hardly know any info on this band pretty much

Nadsat Rebel

This was a hardcore punk band from the early 80's. You know whats shit? This is all they made.. Yeah. 5 fucking songs is what they left. They came in 3 compilations although its the same songs from the demo. I actually dig the echo vocals of this band. It sorta reminds me of Plunger's Demo tape in the early 90's but in a more raw way. Well there isn't anything else to be said by this band. Although I will state this demo was recorded in December 1983. So I am guessing this came out in early Spring of 1984 perhaps. It is obvious these tapes dont exist I mean look at the picture from the video. There pretty half assed and no creativity unlike many of todays non label bands who attempt to pimp there material out with color and stuff. But this is hardcore punk from the 80's its not like anyone gave a shit at that time. Even the tape seems so bootleg. Its like we all can make these for ourselves instead of buying them. But like I said. Hardcore punk at the time gave a million fucks on how the tape looked. They did printed out those lyrics thats for sure. The demo runs about 9 to 10 minutes like in the video. So I am hoping you dig this because this shit is nowhere to be found on mediafire. Both files on mediafire were deleted and no one has had the ball to re upload it. I found these songs on a blog but was wierd because you had to right click the track and click save audio as. I kinda felt stupid so I rather just upload them rather than link you to the blog. I don't know if the blog did it purposely because I was lost figuring out. "Okay, how the fuck do I get this because I really don't want to use youtube and rip the whole shit as a side A without the songs being seperated." Until I figured how. Well enjoy bro's and broads.
