Backcover:

CMAR Fest @ Myspace

Here is my rip of the CMAR'09 DVD-R, I hope I did everything right. The video & sound - quality of the dvd isn't that great, not really better than the typical live videos that you can find on Youtube. But I think it's ok for those who've been there and wanna see the spectacle again or if you just wanna get an impression of the festival.

12XU - Singles Serie 1 & 2 / 4

 12XU's Homepage

12XU is a (emo)punk band from France, with 2 members from Daitro. Their music is very nice, the only negative point about that is the short playtime of their releases. These are the first 2 parts of their 4-part-singles series, the next 2 parts are planned for the end of this year, I think.

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.
