In the midst of waiting around for MTB to drop their new shit, i stumbled across this band. Who coincidentally have this killer fucking EP. The song that really hooked me on this band is You're Not Afraid of the Dark are You?  Mostly because it's really groovy and moody. Love the lyrics to this song, really melancholy and morbid, while being entertainingly upbeat in melody "four years of wading water/only to get this far". Let A Survivor's Code. My Code. is damn catchy too a nice end track to this record. It sort of gives of this mellow, kick ass vibe that just makes you wanna be at a show. Think a lot of MTB fans can get down with that feeling [need to get to a show btw]. Anyway they just signed with Suburban Home who's records it seems like i've been buying a whole lot of lately, so clearly they keep signing  talented dudes. Probably going to be forced to get this album on White, since it's actually really great. Be sure to check out You Stay. I Go. No Following. if it's anything like this, it's certainly worth pre-ordering the 7".

So the other day when i was giving my boyfriend shit for not having Relationship of Command in his itunes or on his ipod, i remembered this album.

[possible rant coming]
And if you are unfamiliar with that album by name.... then please.... please take a moment out of your very busy existence and LISTEN TO THE FUCKING ALBUM YOU ROBOT FUCK.
[rant avoided]

Anyway, if for some reason you have never heard of Sparta one of the two factions that At the Drive In became, then now is your opportunity. The first song on this record is a perfect embodiment of what you have in store for you. Because let me tell you Cut Your Ribbons is a gorgeous "post rock" tune that mellows into a damn catchy chorus, much like the rest of this record. The tail end of this album is a trippy little reverb sess. that i have always loved. Great Stuff here, take a peak.
