LOTS OF SWORDS

Community Theatre --- What Did You Come Back For?

Tracklist:

1) Intro

2)Headlights

3)Blue Blood

4)Grenades

5)What Did You Come Back For?

6)Big Blue Submarine

Hi, it's been a hot minute, how you are doing? I'm great, thx :-)

Community Theatre is a Dream Pop/Surf rock/Indie/whatever band from Hutchinson, Kansas. I had the pleasure of accidentally booking these guys in Springfield, MO a couple months ago before they put this out, and they were spectacular, and we got Steak 'N Shake afterwards. Anyways I'll throw a couple of nice and get out of y'all's hair. 

Isaac has the voice of a literal angel and Micheal has the spiciest guitar licks. Everything is so drenched in the nicest reverb sound. IDK. It's just a sweet sugar pile of nice sounds. If you're into drugs or getting fucked up this probably yr album. Check it out :-)

I think my favorite track is Headlights but I'm not real sure.

Deepest Pain I've Ever Felt by Crux

//deepest pain i've ever felt|Crux\\

1. Intro

2. Anomaly

3. World View

4. Everlove

Hey long time no post, and I'm back with a backlog of reviews that I should have accomplished forever ago. This release is from Joplin-area based band, Crux. Delivering some of the best grind/metallic-hardcore you'll find in the area, Crux's release, deepest pain i've ever felt is short, sweet, and to the point. With crushing riffs throughout and cathartic vocals, this release is one you'll have to listen to more than once. Give it a shot

Favorite track: World View

No Love by Frontside

Frontside: No Love

1. Frontside 

2. No Love 

3. Misery

4. Get A Grip

5. Slipped

6. In My Face

7. Souls

For those of you who actively followed Long Drive Records when that was something I was doing you guys probably remember Cut Your Losses, remember their strikingly handsome vocalist Jeremy? Well this is what he is doing now. I remember being so excited to hear this release and then hearing it and feeling instantly let down...but nah in all honesty this is really good like REALLY good. The vocals are filled with both hurt and anger and the instrumentals are basically just really groovy mosh riffs and two steps...So to put it bluntly it's a hardcore record that gets you moving every time you hear it. 9/10 release for me and I can't wait to hear more from these boys. California Hardcore Coming at ya!

Home Remedy by Columbus

1. Downsides Of Being Honest

2. Toss &Turn

3. Hospital

4. Home Remedy

If you're someone who follows me on social media then you know that Columbus is a band I post about a lot, not only do these guys put out music that is both emotional and honest but they are some of the kindest dudes I've ever had the privilege of talking to. When I first got the idea to start a record label I wanted Columbus to be my first release, I nervously sent them a facebook message about releasing a 7" of "Sad Songs And Sing-Alongs" and they replied with a genuine and enthusiastic yes, and down the line when I realized I would no longer be able to afford to release a 7" they were extremely cool and understanding. When I listen to these four songs I hear well written lyrics that reflect heartbreak,abandonment and feeling lost and empty, all emotions I deal with on a daily basis. The instrumentation is equally incredible and only adds to the feelings that this ep gives overall I give it a 9.5 out of 10 and recommend it to everyone. 

Favorite track: Toss & Turn.

...After the Fact by Hit Home

Hit Home + ...After the Fact

1. Care

2. worn

3. Picturesque

4. Opaque

5. Augury

6. Someday Find the Words

7. Unsunset

8. Lackluster

9. Vernate

10. To Heart

So I've been praying for a Hit Home full length since I first hit play on Happily Ever... This band is just beyond good. The songwriting ability of these guys is ridiculous. How can an album be so dramatically sad sounding yet so beautiful and inspiring and poetic at the same time? Guitars dance over struggling vocals, dizziness inducing drum patterns, and some of the best bass lines out there. This band just frustrates me beyond belief because they're just so good. If I could name two bands that have made me who I am today, they would be Roof Doctor and this fucking band. 

Also I'll add that it was super freaking cool to hear a new slightly different rendition of "Unsunset" which is from their split with Buttons and Mindy. (Those strumming patterns at 3:05 just make me shiver and smile) 

Check this god damn band out for the love of the god damn band. 

Favorite track: I for once can't say I have a favorite track

Bandcamp

One time I was scheduled to play a show with Hit home in Saint louis and for about a month I was beyond freaked out at the thought that I'd get to play with my favorite band. But sadly they had to drop because of some issue. 

My Band by Roof Doctor

Roof Doctor + My Band

1. The Abyssal Plane

2. Wildwood

3.  David Haynes

4. Smotheredly

5. White Gold

6. Trust No One

Roof Doctor is probably the band that has developed me as a person the most emotionally, so seeing that they dropped a new release brought a long overdue smile to my face. Roof Doctor is the kind of band that you just want to lay down and die to, and if you've been around since the beginning of this band, you'll be as excited about this release as about all of the others. Not sure why PA has so many good bands. It seems so many good/great bands just congregate in a few areas. PA, Chicago, all of Texas, etc. 

Anyway.

Mark's vocals/lyrical ability has matured amazingly, and the band is almost completely reinvented from it's last releases. Breaking the trend of redoing an old song, My Band brings to the table 6 amazing new songs. So check these songs out, I can't even stress how amazing they are. This band has just never disappointed me and I'm so happy that they exist. The album is currently up for $4, and I'm going to make sure I get it whenever I get a chance, but as always you can stream the album on their bandcamp. Please check this amazing band out. 

Favorite song: White Gold
