I've been waiting a long time to say something about this band, whom i think are fucking great and want you, (my beloved reader or angry internet fanatic) to hear about. I present to you a band with a tremendous amount of talent, and have no problem showcasing it on this album. Do not expect to find any excess fat on this lp, not a wasted beat, melody, snare hit, or guitar riff. Every song on this record sounds like alot of dedication and complex musicianship went into it. Of the records of theirs i have been listening to lately, this one is probably my favorite. Their knack for understanding  the dynamics of  intellectual guitar playing as opposed to random riffage  is put on display in the track Kissed by a Roach. Every song on here deserves its own blog post, but to highlight a few greats A Conduit rather than a Vault: fucking epic, the Ground Eats You: gorgeous, Hypothetical Basking Shark: so good i just had a seizure. Honestly I'm sure enough cannot be said about the extremely impressive nature of this record. Simply put, if you are a fan of screamo, enjoy post-hardcore or are interested in progressive at all you definitely need to, absolutely must listen to this band. Also if you find yourself an instant fan (as i found myself a few months ago) then by all means go here and get all of their stuff for FREE. At their website you can read a bit about how Lujo records screwed them out of a great deal of money. So if you would like to support the band, make a donation on their website because they encourage people to NOT buy their record New Ruins  from Amazon or Itunes.  Or you could just buy all their records on vinyl :)
Check these guys out. 

sounds like: Loma Prieta, Third Memory

once again, all their stuff is at their site for fucking FREE goddamnit.
great fucking music, for no damn money.
sometimes, you gotta love the internet.
