Suckinim Baenaim - Selftitled

 Suckinim Baenaim @ Myspace

Young and wild hardcore band from Israel founded in Dec'07. The music is hard to describe, it's quite experimental with punk/screamo touch... Whatever, I heard they are an amazing live band and they play often outside of Israel. This release is limited to 250 pieces. Watch also out for their new split 7'' with Achzavoth.

rha. - Selftitled

rha. @ Myspace

"rha." is a German five-piece, which was found in 2008 in the area of Lüneburg/Hamburg. They play a kind of straightforward hardcore-punk/screamo mix and published their first release as a 7 song 12'' (plus CD-R) in September of this year. This record has a really good production, imagine the sound of Eaves with some doublebass parts or so.

You And I - Discography

 You And I on Myspace

You and I was a late 90s screamo band formed from the ashes of New Jersey local group Instil and Sky Falls Down. While they maintained the heavy, chaotic elements typical of the genre, their music has traveled well in terms of influence due to its more tuneful and musical qualities. While other bands in the genre often simply played fast, You and I had a very solidly inventive rhythm section and two guitarists who were able to add interesting textures and interplay to the music, incorporating riffs that recalled midwest emo, tech metal, and almost every other punk subgenre; often while holding down vocal parts at the same time. While You and I were by no means the only screamo band to integrate clean vocals and layered harmonies, they did it in the context of what were often atypical song structures, particularly on their final CD, "The Curtain Falls", which was released by Level Plane Records. You And I played their last show on May 8th, 1999 with Saetia, Carlisle, Cable Car Theory, and Stormshadow in the basement of Thursday vocalist Geoff Rickly's New Brunswick home.
This 23 song retrospective finally releases most of the bands out of print material from their first self-titled 7” to the “Within A Frame” CD and ends with three live tracks.

June Paik - Selftitled

June Paik @ Myspace

Yes, I already uploaded this one, but the quality wasn't so great. Now I ripped my own copy of the 10'' and this here sounds quite perfect I think.
Some words about the record: June Paik is a German screamo band and they already released a 7'', 12''/cd and a split12'' with Titan, all untitled. On this record, the sound is more somber and the singer is even harder to understand than on the records before...with all that epic instrumental parts and the despaired vocals, the music here lets me sometimes really think of a mix between post-rock and depressive black-metal, hehe. However, this band is really likeable.

The Great Disappointment - Selftitled

The Great Disappointment is a three-piece that creates music somewhere between screamo, modern posthardcore, whatever...they aksed me to put their album on my blog, very nice :). Some words from them about themselves:
"Founded in february 2007 we recorded our first EP „lygophilia“ in august 2007. it was kindly appreciated by a lot of people and we played some really cool shows. our second EP "lightness & weight" followed in fall 2008. we released our first LP on 9/11 09. we see ourselves as punk/hardcore kids and as such we’re truly devoted to the whole D.I.Y spirit with all its aspects."
At the moment, they are searching for a recordlabel that would release this full-length.

Radio Burroughs - The principles of hope or hybris

Radio Burroughs is a five-piece outfit from Berlin & Leipzig.

They have already released a split 7'' with the great Petethepiratesquid and this is their first full-lenght. Give them a try! 512 copies were pressed.

Brandon Peck - Demo

Brandon Peck is actually is actually guitarist of Mouthbreather, but beside this band he's also making very nice music on his own. Quite simply just his voice and his guitar (in most cases) - and I can tell you, he has a really nice voice! Have a listen to his music, it's very beautiful singer/songwriter - stuff. I saw him (and Mouthbreather also) live on stage two days ago and I immediately bought his cd at the merch stand.

Mouthbreather - Thank you for your patience

"Mouthbreather's first full length record, captured by Chris Owens (LORDS), is a slice of punk played with a chip on its shoulder. Raw and stripped down, the songs are unrelenting attacks similar to members' past groups WOW, OWLS! and THE SETUP but still maintaining a new musical identity, keeping Richmond's punk and hardcore roots in mind. By no means is this album the safe and comforting punk that you would find in a local suburban mall, but it is a loose extension of the angst of bands like Black Flag with songs that give a sarcastic, and at times jaded, look at the scene and life."

Errata - Selftitled

Errata from Portugal asked me to put their EP on my blog. They consist of 5 members who play nice epic&melodic screamo, somewhere between Funeral Diner, Envy and some softer stuff...anyway they're quite outstanding! They sing mostly in Portuguese wich is quite unique even in Portugal. It might sound weird but it actually works out pretty well.

They're also looking for a label (possibly a foreign one) and for places to play, not only in Portugal but also throughout Europe.

FIRST ANNIVERSARY

Hey punks!
It's been one year ago now since I started with my "The difference between life and music" blog!
Unfortunately I got no special present for you ;-). But I wanna thank you for being loyal all the time and for helping me by uploading stuff for me. I also wanna thank all the bands that send me their stuff! Sorry for not putting everything on my blog, but I just want to provide the stuff that is (in my opinion) on the right place here, according to the genre.
So let's hope for another nice year and: Don't stop buying merch & records! ;) A real record is much nicer than some silly MP3s (I think I don't have to tell you that).

Single State Of Man & Men As Trees on European tour

As you might know, the two great bands Single state of man (almost instrumental post-hc/rock, Germany) and Men as trees (screamo touched by post-rock, USA) are now touring together through Europe.
So Ingo (I.corrupt.shows&records) asked me to put the flyer on my blog. Well, here we go:

Wolves & Ampere - Split

Wolves (rooted in emo hardcore of the early to mid nineties) was first conceived in early 2000 by Brad Wallace and Tim Glowik. In the Fall of 2001 the band really got going with the line up of Tim Glowik, Brad Wallace, Erik Hopp, and Andy Skelly. In their four year existence they released one album (art.culture.work) an ep (Simulation.Transparency.Alienation) as well as two split 7” with Ampere and Sinaloa, and a 12” split with Transistor Transistor. Wolves decided to part ways due to geographic hardship and members growing in different directions creatively. Wolves played two last shows on January 30th, and 31st of 2004 in Amherst, and Boston, MA.

You can find the Ampere songs in a better quality on the "The first 5 years" CD!

Fuel - Monuments to excess [Discography]

"Fuel was a Bay Area post-hardcore musical act (active between 1989-91) that combined melody, power, and raw emotion to create both personal and political songs, something that was unique during the "first wave" of emo in the 1990s. Fuel had a sound akin to early-Hot Water Music and especially Fugazi with twin guitars and dueling rough post-hardcore vocals. In fact, it is noted that Fuel was called "Fuelgazi." Fuel's style has been compared to the D.C. sound of many Dischord bands." [Wikipedia]

This discography cd contains the songs of the "Selftitled" LP (01-10), the "Take effect" 7inch EP (11-14), split 7inch with Phleg Camp (15-16), "VA - If you can see through It... It ain't Coffee" 7inch (17) and the split 7inch with Angry Son (18).

125, Rue Montmartre & Maggat - Split

[No cover]

Old emo music from Germany!
125, Rue Montmartre was a female-fronted indie/emo band from Bielefeld/Germany that existed from ca. 1998-2000. They released a split 7” with Maggat (now The Robocop Kraus) in 1999 and a self-titled 7” in 2000. Apart from that, they appeared on two compilations: the Ageha 7” and the Achtung Autobahn CD. Very dulcet sound!
Maggat was formed in 1997. They created a kind of music quite comepareable to their split-partner, but more noisy. After a 7'' in 1997 they also released a full-length in 1999.

125, Rue Montmartre:
01. Hit #2
02. Steigerungslied
Maggat:
03. An urban dilemma
04. Kiss the boys goodbye
