Audio Recording Club


Came across this nice blog, most of it is metal/screamo (Nostre Monte EP is good) but then a few pages in it had Audio Recording Club which happens to have John Galm, SSC and Snowing vocalist. Sounds like turn of the century emo or maybe Brand New. EP and album thanks to lvoldschool.blogspot.com/.

EP - 'In The End, We're All Light'

Boost


"Boost is an up beat emo band from the DC area. They play a music similar to such bands as Algernon Cadwallader, Cap’n Jazz, and Braid. They have two releases, a split tape with DC punk band Fine Lines, and a CD EP which came in a cloth case."

They have everything for download HERE, it comes with both sides of the split.

Lights On Emendy

Going to post them again cause I think they are good (I have downloads this time). "A crappy imitation of an screamo band that broke up.", is kinda true but its not somthing to get too hung up on about. They took down thier Old Grey cover before I could get it :( By the looks of it they have some sort of EP in the works so that should be good. They just put up an Old EP, under a different name but same sound, plus new version of Sleeping, with new backing vocals.

"I guess people actually listen to us? Or atleast they write about us and don't care."

Swedes


"We were a DIY minded screamo band from Lancaster/West Chester, PA. We formed in early 2007 drawing inspiration from bands such as Ampere, Daitro, Raein, Kidcrash, Saetia and Make Me."

If you like any of those bands you should like this. Its screamo with clean twidly guitar parts, i'd say it sounds like Merchant Ships more then the bands listed above. They only did 4 songs and lasted less then a year. The singer went on to be half the main partnership in Ursa Theodorus and is now in Bluegrass Kids, which is more of the same.

We Sang Songs


Kinda a continuation from the last post, this band is amazing and I havent seen any mention of thier name before even though they hang with We Were Skeltons, Piroutte and Algernon. I got what I could find but the S/T EP is missing a few tracks, so if anyone could point me in the direction of them... Its beardy twinkly shouty americana punk pop.

Pucker Up Velcrolips


I think its my inner scene kid speaking but I like this band, even though they have a 'scene' thing going on its still catchy pop songs. Plus they played with Make Me once. Lots of members over the years who went on to play it some other good bands;

Has a sound more of a UK band rather then the usual Philadelphia twinkly sound. There is a guy who 'shouts', I guess It will grow on you.
