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.
