I was very impressed when I heard this for the first time. I'm always very picky with bands when it comes to this genre and I don't enjoy everything, but this band immediately got my attention. Musically breathtaking and cool and passionate vocals and amazingly well written lyrics.

I discovered this band by coincidence and I'm pretty happy I did. It's actually quite hard to describe their sound, because they've been influenced by several genres I believe; they simply added their own touch to the music they like to play; no conventions , just straight up honest music. Great lyrics as well btw. They reminded me a bit of bands like Apart, Touché Amoré and even a bit La Dispute. Make sure to check out their previous release too, though that one has a bit more of a melodic hardcore sound, nonetheless amazing.

Amazing album. Quite difficult to describe what they sound like; a bit like thrice and some Touché Amoré and Defeater influences.

Gray Light is one of my favorite albums of 2012 and now they even decide to release something new in 2012 (and it's for free!); such a cool band. I don't call myself a big 'fan' of that genre, but I defintiely consider this band on the top of the list.

I've been meaning to put this one on the blog for a while, because this is record will  definitely end up in my top5 albums of 2012. This band is perfect in so many ways, You can just hear the huge progression(eg. the cello (or violin) on 'Play On, Soft Pipes' and the saxophone on the last song 'Dead Air') they made since 'Only Revolutions'. This band surprises each time again with well thought and worked out guitar riffs, pure perfection is what I call it. Even after listening the album for soà many times I still hear new and cool riffs that I haven't heard before. One of the most passionate, intense and honest vocals with beautiful lyrics (seriously check them out). Not many bands manage to give me actual goosebumps except for Apart. They deserve a lot more attention than they have now (though I have a big feeling they'll get huge pretty soon). Show them love!

So I was lurking around on facebook when this band "What We're Afraid Of" posted about this band and how they were excited to play with them. Checked them out and they fucking rule. This entire EP is excellent and sounds like the bastard son of Touche Amore/Pianos Become the Teeth and Defeater, maybe. Definitely check this out.

Another local that I'm friends with that makes solid music. Few of them are children of Boysetsfire members. A lot of different influences on this full length that you'll definitely be able to hear. Check this out and see if you can get their music video for "Traitors" to 10k this week!

Literally just stumbled upon this band moments ago and listened through this three song EP in excitement because of what the first song had to offer. Pretty solid stuff, though the clean vocals are kind of low in the mix. Regardless, check this out immediately.

Alright, this is a band from around where I live. My friends had talked about them all the time and I finally checked them out forever ago and they're insanely good. I had never expected to hear something so original and good come from my area ahah, but damn did they put out two banger EPs. Unfortunately, they've very recently disbanded.

I have no idea how to describe this, but I do know that this is a promising (very alternative) (post)hardcore band. It has great screaming, a great clean voice and a very alternative music style. I can't compare it with another band. I know we will hear more of this awesome band in the future. Download is via Bandcamp
