sound:Screamo/Progressive

Ok, so i might have bought this on vinyl today [I FUCKING KNOW RITE] anyway I'm going to go ahead and tell you this is NOT FOR EVERYONE! Somebody is going to see the sweet album art  and be like "oh gumpy, this looks cool" and then listen to it and the be all like "uh gumpy, this is too loud for me"  and to you I'm going to say you are fucking right! These guys are pure energy and chaotic glory, this record is no exception. Progressive to say the least, this album is a screamo electronica orgy and its going to fuck your face off! Probably not literally, but then again you never know. Also We Sing the Body Electric is a FAME reference in case anyone cares and NO! not the new one, the 80's one with Irena Carre [sp?] so go ahead and Push the Panic Motherfuckers!

First of all Happy [insert what applies to you here] to you all, i hope you're enjoying the holidays. Secondly here is your present from me, gumpy and the BCB. If you haven't already heard this album, you have been missing out my friend.  Of the many records  i heard this year, this one is worth the most praise, a  truly commendable effort, by a band that once again is getting blown up on this blog. I don't really want to say too much about it, just that if you enjoy this blog, but are put off by the genre tags i implore you to take a listen to this record regardless.  I think there is a little something  on this album for any person with the ear to appreciate musical talent, because as a whole this record is tops by a fucking solid band.
Have a great one guys, cheers.

 I'm actually really surprised i haven't posted this ages ago. Here a screamo band certainly worthy of a little praise. Prepare yourself for dueling guitars, intricate riffs, and fast steady drumbeats. Not to mention the vocalist of defunct Saetia. I will just say from the first time i heard Turncoat Revolution ages ago i was pretty much hooked on this fucking band. I dont have a giant interest in vinyl, however when i saw this on vinyl i didn't even hesitate to purchase it. I encourage you to do the same, cus in case you didn't notice the album art for this record is fucking sick. Seriously plug worthy, if you've been skating on the edges of clicking anything with the label "screamo" on this page, i insist this be the one you try. Cheers.

Fear Before the March Of Flames - (2003) Odd How People Shake

10. What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas (12:12)

First and foremost if you can't handle screaming don't even bother clicking on this. That being said for the select readers who can, Fear Before in my opinion is a band that grows on you with time. I've had about 4 years with this album, and i fucking love it. Excellent for when you've had one of those days when you just want to fucking rape and murder the shit out of people.
Anyway, I normally would advise against listening to a new album out of intended order but go ahead and listen to Sarah Goldfarb, or On the Brightside cus they're the pillars of FBTMF's humble Denver beginnings.

First of all, when i saw this band in hs all i could think was, there is no way three guys are making this much noise. Secondly, Tom is a guitar god. Third... there was no third.

WARNING: this record is loud and fast, and if you're a giant vagina you probably can't handle screaming... or talent... so put in a new tampon, skip this blog and keep downloading the Jonas Brother's 3D Concert.

You can snub your nose at this all you want, god knows i did until i actually listened to it. I like it, and i used to like the band until they put out Bone Palace Ballet. Which in my opinion is a heaping pile of shit, also somewhere during listening to that album i realized when Craig whispers he sounds like Herbert from Family Guy. So.... their you go, listen to this album.
