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.

End of 2015
So it is almost end of the year and I am waiting on a counselor at my college campus. I'd want to point out the blogspot won't be active til January. So it'll be about 2-3 weeks with no posting. But next year there will be some amazing shit to post. Also keep an eye out on Sepia//Memory. Like the facebook page and stuff I have some releases to be soon released and I guess Re-released??? But yeah, this blogspot isnt dead yet but I'll likely be working on some s//m and mainly work. I want to have more time to record the new s//m songs and I might be doing something else if it comes to it. This year 26 releases suprised me to be my favorite. Old bands from past year or year before also new bands that came out this year who just impressed me so well. Youll probably get a video on these releases. My 2012 video got deleted so I will have to do that again.

All my wishes were thrown down a well and should die there
I found this band last night but I felt like posting them today, p.e I might not post until January maybe last days of December. This band is from San Diego and are right hands of Flowers taped to pens although Flowers is more of a modern emo band many band wagons would hop on, this one still holds the 90's early 00's tradition of emo jams. Which is why I just fucking loved this so bad. So they just released their 8 song debut this month (I haven't even downloaded yet) will soon. So if you like screamo bands with the 90's/early 00's sound you will not be disappointed. Im off to get up since its 7:36 and I have a long day ahead of me.

Small Steps- Death Became The Light
I don't think I ever mentioned this one? I thought I did. Anyway, Small Steps broke up this year after this full release. The band put out 2 ep's a set of demos as "Spider King" and this release. I actually enjoy this release as well, much different from the Puzzlejar ep but still has a fresh sound. The songs are harder, shorter and faster. This may be put on tape which I am waiting on so I can get one. It's sad see this band break up after not much recognition at all and little time of being an active band. Well I guess that's what happens to extremely good bands. It's barely morning and I am waiting on a tone of band merch and shit of that nature.

Zoo books/Water Polo Split
It has been raining like crazy today, I even heard the rain slamming against my window really hard, shit was a trip. Today is a trip cause Zoo books/Water polo split just came out. Zoo books features 2 new songs and a re-recorded song off the demo. Its pretty cool to see them highly active. Water Polo in the other side did 2 new songs slightly different than the EP (A tiny disappointed nonetheless okay)

Water Polo
So my semester just about ended. So this is what went down today, morning I woked up as usual watching Its always sunny in Philly then I headed to my film class to get my grade and take my final for speech. Well it was an interesting day because my pot dealer gave me 2 dimes and well me and 3 other classmates decided to smoke one of the dimes. One of them had a car so we chilled and smoked about 2 blunts I believe then we headed back at 12:30 and we had more for 2 session so we smoked more and I headed to my class very stoned at 2 since the last session didn't end til 1:45 during the time smoking those last 2 sessions we were talking about bullshit and how this other chick in our class was suppose to smoke with one of the guys who was smoking with me but he kept telling me that she wanted to get closer to me cause she knows I smoke with him (He is a older dude) It was kinda wierd cause we got deep on the conversation cause it was odd how she just wanted to smoke once she saw me but I highly doubt it was because of me since I had invited her once and I guess I got the "Never reply to the text" message. So I am still convinced it is not cause of me plus that guy left at 1:50 and I had class at 2 and didn't get out until 3 and she had gotten out until 12:20something, I don't know I am confused or maybe she was fucking around. I walked to my speech class and a classmate asked me if I smoked because I smelled like weed. When he brought this subject and began laughing I grew a little paranoid because I am reserved and I told him I am okay and fine it's not like it's something new. So we had to do our group presentations and I was high and I didn't know what to do so I sorta was tripping out but I caught along and did well. Finally we took our final and I got my grade for my last speech which was a B- as for my film class I got a C+. As I got home I started working on my Astronomy class (I have a 36% which is an F and a D is 40%) I did extra credit worth 9% of my grade along with a quiz, 2 hw packets, 2 extra credit hw packets and my final test in with the hopes of bumping my grade to a C- or even a D Ill be okay with. Likely chances of a D are high, if I did well on this final I may even get a low C and with the extra hw packets who knows. So I found out Zoo books is releasing a split tape with this band called Water polo this Friday (Who started this year) I am very excited to hear the 3-4 songs Zoo books made, I am excited to see Zoo books being very active this year releasing 3 releases this year. Well let us speak of Water polo, they are more of a indie rock band than a The Reptilian-esque like Zoo books. They aren't bad and the bands recent discography is pretty darn good. I like the work on the guitar strummings and stuff. I hope you all check it out.
