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.
