if there is a grunge come back then bands needs to be ripping off hum.

.

these two lps deserve better commentary than this. wasted opportunity. what a bizarre review anyway. funeral for a friend? hardcore? yet no mention of bands like mineral or deep elm records.

that was a reply to the top comment, i was expecting it to 'nest'. oh well.

.

i suspect they will at some point. and here is a band that knows it's best songs, unlike that god awful get up kids reunion.

.

i haven't heard this lp yet but based on previous things i have heard, i am not sure how this band takes any inspiration from unwound other than by using instruments and playing music?

make that 4. finally punk sound like nodzzz?!

of the 3 bands i know from that list, i don't think any of them sound like nodzzz.

why does your list at the top go straight from rites of spring to cap'n jazz? the most exciting period of emo is what happened in between those bands. 4 minute mile is the only get up kids record worth owning.

.

please can you recommend some identical / similar sounding bands?

.

this was a dreadful gig, it was painful. like watching a get up kids cover band.

they are on tour here next year. best band around right now. no surprise, this review has little attention.

?

tim kinsella was never in american football. stop pretending you know what you're talking about.

this album sucks.

.

no surprise, this band is lost on DiS.

.

youthful exhuberance was fun when cap'n jazz did it. but these guys and los campesinos just sound forced.

this stuff should be making you angry. you have grown complacent. if you don't have a mortgage, big family car, a dog and 2 children, its time to acquire them.

Funeral Diner - The Underdark

nexus six were hardly popular enough to be a cult band. they had 1 official release (as far as i am aware), and that was a split 12" with funeral diner.

this is funeral diners worst release by far, which is a shame as their output is generally good. the recent 10" is much better.

bloody skramos.

Finch - Say Hello To Sunshine

"Three years ago Finch were one of the first to burst on to and out of the screamo scene."

seeing as screamo was at its peak in 1999-2000, that is simply not true.

funch.

The Decemberists - Picaresque

they're no neutral milk hotel.

Young Offenders Institute - We're The Young Offend

for a moment i though that the band 'young offenders' had a new release. man alive was that a bad band.

Pictures Paint Words - A B C D E F G H I J K L M N

how can they be 'new' when they sound like bands from 1998? this is definitely good though.

Saves the Day - In Reverie

listen to lifetime.

Re: Blood Brothers - Crimes

nah, i have too many other records to listen to than to try out some band that i have not much interest in.

Re: Blood Brothers - Crimes

seriously? for me, the first two antioch lp's are golden and still highly enjoyable. i liked the blood bros debut for a couple of listens then that was itl

Blood Brothers - Crimes

these guys still knocking around? first lp was an antioch arrow rip off.

Re: Silver Sun - Disappear Here

so shocked i posted twice.

Silver Sun - Disappear Here

this band is still going?!

Silver Sun - Disappear Here

this band is still going?!

Re: Jimmy Eat World - Futures

it's not an emo record.

Re: Since By Man - A Love / Hate Relationship

album on revelation (i think?) that is.

i had an older cd that was a split with them and some other band and they were quite good on that.

Re: Since By Man - A Love / Hate Relationship

the first album was indeed, terrible.

Re: Mastodon - Leviathan

zao are pro-life fuckwits.

Re: Arco - Restraint

because the press is only interested in the next big thing, not the next good thing.

Mastodon - Leviathan

fun record, although was a bit surprised by the change in styles.

Hot Snakes - Audit In Progress

first lp was best.

haven't heard this yet, but most reports have been disappointing. no mention of the wipers in this review?

Re: Pitchfork

pitchfork is a zine for students, by students.

FUCK STUDENTS.

jeez.

Daughters - Canada Songs

this band is shockingly bad, just a rehash of music that was being made at least 5 years ago. no soul, no passion. pathetic. at least when the locust first came along it was fresh. but the locust have been around for what, 8 years now?
