Great Friend of Mine [2009] Desperate Songs

sound: Screamo/Hardcore
myspace
Desperate Songs has a lot of things going on in it, but mostly it's just at times good old fashioned LOUD-LOUD-soft screamo like on tracks Twenty-Twelve and Harrison Bergon. Some tracks sort of meander out of heavy distortion into that heavy guitar wailing that ever good hardcore fan can appreciate. Honestly on the tail end of Iceberg, these dudes sound fucking awesome, along with The World which is probably their best song imo. These dudes are artists for real, and their record has a message. They definitely  have enough confidence  and talent to get it across. These dudes are DIY so support the shit out of them, their  LP comes with a 27 page handmade booklet, it doesn't get more intimate than that. Check 'em out.
Great Merch of Mine.

Funeral Diner [2002] Difference of Potential

sound: Hardcore/Screamo

Not sure if anyone has told you yet, but this record is fucking tough as shit. I just might be a sucker for a band featuring a talented drummer, and Funeral Diner is no exception. Also oddly enough these dudes are from Half Moon Bay, CA where i spent a couple of summers. Being from CA always gotta give Cali bands  love. I don't think Im getting ahead of myself when i say this is Screamo as it was intended to be heard. This record is a mad cross between being honest and raw while still being captivating and polished. Needless to say, here is one worth coveting on vinyl, and trust me this is hard to find. These guys have a huge cash of gems so expect to see more from them on up here. Always a fan of bands that tour nonstop, try to stay exclusive,  and have a close knit fan base. By the way There are no Today's Today, So There Will Be No Yesterday's Tomorrow better get this shit now!

So i thought i posted this on Hardcore Day, but clearly i spaced it like a useless fuck so...my bad guys. You deserved to know on that day this band is pretty fucking Solid (with a capital F) and will probably blow your ear pussies to pieces.
How can i best describe this record... perhaps melodic glory, hardcore with a heart ? I like this press because the lyrics demand as much of your attention as the beautiful harmonies they are laid over. I think my boyfriend and i will both argue over who buys this lp when you can buy it from somewhere in the states. PS sweet fucking album art as well, check these guys out.
