sound: Progressive/Screamo

Missing the wandering guitar riffs, and ear splitting melodies of Dave Knudson in Botch? Try these kids on for size. I know absolutely nothing about this band except their from Portugal [don't worry their vocals are in English, if that kind of thing puts you off] they are [or were] signed to Escucha! Records which also boasts some sweet fucking bands like Suis La Luine and Kidcrash, and they are talented. If the track Animal Man is any indicator of what these guys can do, i would love to see something of theirs on vinyl. This super short demo is the shit, so check it out.

sounds like: Tera Melos, The Fall of Troy, Since By Man, Kidcrash

If I say Math-Rock in reference to this band, I'm gonna have 30 people up my ass about how everything this band did someone else did already (At the Drive In, The Mars Volta). And to those people i would like to say go ahead and fuck yourself. I don't give one good god damn because yes, these guys play some melodic fast guitar riffs that tear peoples eyes out and sure they have a vocalist who's not afraid to use every sound found in the human thorax. But I'm pretty sure ATDI, and TMV didn't drop a fucking patent on the ability to make great music so this band is in the clear. All that name calling aside, some serious grandiose in your face musicianship with this band and a drummer that flat out rapes face. Just try Delay the Fiasco on for size, one bad ass song. The AlbumWe Impend is a gem of it's own.

sounds like: Tera Melos, The Fall of Troy, The Unicorns (and yes) the Mars Volta, At the Drive-In
