Single state of man - Selftitled

I already uploaded this one, but it was not such a good quality and the sound was a bit quiet. Now I ripped my own lp and this sounds better than the version you could find on the internet so far.
Well as we all know this contains six songs somewhere between nice post-rock and screamy post-punk, four of them are instrumental. 700 copies were pressed. Check out their new split-7'' with Men as trees!

...We fade to grey - The sound of trees talking

"...we fade to grey" is a postpunk/indie band from somewhere in Bavaria/Germany. So far they released this nice piece of music called "The sound of trees talking" in 2008 on cassette and a split-cd with Fluten in 2009.
The tape-rip was done by myself and I think the quality is quite acceptable. There were 100 hand-numbered tapes made.

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.
Review soon on Locked Groove.

Some words in German:

An dieser Stelle nur mal etwas Eigenwerbung...zwei Kollegen (Johannes und eriik) und meine Wenigkeit haben letztens ein neues Projekt gestartet, nämlich den Blog "Locked Groove". Dort verfassen wir semiprofressionelles Zeug über Platten, Konzerte und was die Emo-Punk-HC-DIY Szene so hergibt ;-).

Radio Burroughs - The principles of hope or hybris

Radio Burroughs is a five-piece outfit from Berlin & Leipzig. Their style is pretty hard to describe...in every case you can hear their screamo - and postcore background, but this rather tends to a kind of mix between nice, simple played pop and post-punk/core. 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."
