Under a Dying Sun - Under a Dying Sun

http://www.mediafire.com/?83ks61q23ua333n

Looks, i know from the download counts that nobody gives half an ass about my taste for 90's style screamo. Tough titties.

Under a Dying Sun falls somewhere between that and 90s emo. Kind of similar to 1905 in some ways. Less screaming than what would normally fall under screamo but the instrumentation is similar.

Crywank - James is Going to Die Soon

http://www.mediafire.com/?v6ij7c0aswhfdzj

Crywank is James Clayton, making sad acoustic folk music. I've had his demo on my computer for some time (?), this is his full-length. The songs are very great; my favourites are 'Hikkikomori' and 'Harvey Milk Shit on the Table'.

Corn on Macabre - Chapters I & II with Deleted Scenes

http://www.mediafire.com/?0v61om1jp6h9i5j

Corn on Macabre (hilarious name!) was a screamo/grindcore/emoviolence/whatever band that was around in the early 00's. Kinda like pg.99.
I just found this album and it is FUCKING AWESOME!
13 songs, 12 minutes.

This shitty blog is brought to you by one lone idiot so yeah it doesnt get updated much. At least the few months when i was doing a mediocre job are still up to make it look better

The Kodan Armada - Collections

http://www.mediafire.com/?mi1817aw5lqu8pr

The Kodan Armada was a band from Louisville, KY. Screamo/emoviolence/whatever in the vein of Orchid and such bands. If you like such musics as that, you will likely enjoy this!

S - Sadstyle

Download

This is really a very special album. This is the solo project of Jenn Ghetto, formerly of Carissa's Wierd. It seems like Jenn Ghetto may have been the real heart of that band, as this album is as heart-wrenching in every way. Not as orchestrated as Carissa's Wierd, but still really spectacular.
My favourite songs are "I Love You Too...", "Elevator", and "Anti-Love Song".

"and the more i hear the more i want to leave this town behind and leave all of you crying all over someone that you just can't have again love again drink again find someone else that you know cause you know it will make you feel better cause you better feel something why else would you be here"

If anyone still reads this blog (considering how infrequently i update), don't miss this one.

New Socks - Picture Story Friends Goodbye

 

http://www.mediafire.com/?62dt7q7ofqffpt2

I was sent this album by a Molly, a member of the band. It is an extremely good album from a band i am not sure i would have heard of otherwise.

Sort of a lovely folk-pop record, kind of like a more interesting Noah and the Whale. Or, at times, somewhat like Nana Grizol but not exactly.

Every song on the album is excellent, which is pretty rare. They use a large selection of instruments, layered without ever falling into the the excessively-baroque trap that some multi-instrumentalists do. Underneath the interesting instrumentation, still, is some absolutely solid songwriting and great lyrics.

 

Molly describes the band thus:

"New Socks is Ben Morey, Molly Kerker and Becky Lovell. We started playing together in 2008 and released our first album New So(ck)(ng)s in 2009. We've done one tour where we played in 13 states. Our music is made with guitars, accordion, tambourine, bass, ukulele, banjo, keyboards, piano, trumpet and clarinet. We write honest, mostly autobiographical songs. Picture Story Friends Goodbye is our second album and it will be released on October 12th 2010.

We spent a year recording this album ourselves in an old farmhouse we were living in, that was filled with instruments and surrounded by fields of growing things and singing birds (which come through the quietest parts of the album). The album is about leaving, grasping at childhood and lost family and friends, seeing things die, being in love with everyone and trying not to lose them."

 

My personal favourite tracks are "Summer", "The Boys I Meet", and "Robin Skull".

The One Up Downstairs - The One Up Downstairs

 http://www.mediafire.com/?nimyfko88ks6e81

Short 3-song EP from The One Up Downstairs, a 90s emo band featuring Mike Kinsella (of various legendary bands Cap'n Jazz, Joan of Arc, American Football, and Owen). They only ever recorded these 3 songs before the band split up and Kinsella went on to form American Football.

Despite the fact that this EP is only 10 minutes long, it is really great. Especially if you're a fan of American Football. The band not the sport.

Whirl - Distressor

 http://www.mediafire.com/?aist7aaqn0sc83z

Whirl is a shoegaze band from somewhere in Northern California. I don't really know anything about them, sorry. It is a really good album though, if you're in the mood for shoegazey stuff.

Album is available for purchase here.
