DEERS!

It's been quite some time but I'm back. This next band, DEERS!, is a hardcore screamo band straight out of Sacramento, California. These guys are super fresh man, the recordings I have of them are straight from their first demo which was created very recently. They've been active since early 2008 and are still going strong. Right now they're going on a winter tour in Cali but it's possibly they'll be releasing something more with Zomerkamp Records. These guys are chaos with a hint of melodic freshness that makes them one of my favorite punk/screamo bands right now. This 2008 demo they released in April is incredibly hard to come by and is absolutely excellent. This six song demo spanning about 14 minutes will have you swinging arms and screaming when you hear the effects and the vocals that these guys can belt out. Bands like Straight No Chaser and Malaysia's Kias Fansuri are incredibly similar and if you've ever listened to them, you'll like DEERS!.

These Arms Are Snakes & Russian Circles Split [Leak]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and just assume you all know TAAS and Russian Circles by now. If not then here's the low down real fast. Russian Circles, three piece instrumental band from Chicago. They've been around since about 2004 and they have made quite a name for themselves in those few years. They've had 5 releases (including this one) and are always playing shows so look for them! These Arms Are Snakes are more experimental/post-rock/indie kinda stuff from Seattle. They have very unique vocals as well as very unique songs. These two decided to do a split while touring Europe together. I personally was quite taken aback from this seeing as how both these bands just released a new album not to long ago and the split has all new material. Still, it's a pretty good album and I've been waiting quite some time and copies are very limited, so have at it.

Aussitôt Mort

Aussitôt Mort or "As Soon As Dead", is one hell of a a band from Caen, France. These guys started off in 2005 coming down on our faces with the amazing wave of French-Screamo that we all know and love so much. When asked about them I've been was told it's like, Gameness with a much more post-rock sound and guitars like Celeste. Can't complain with what I've heard in fact they've become one of my top bands over the past couple of months. What makes them worth my time, you may ask. Well one things for certain; any band who has gotten a hold of Pierre the bass player from Amanda Woodword is at least worth a listen.

These guys are currently on tour in Japan with Heaven in Her Arms (another fantastic screamo-hardcore band that I will make a note of to post sometime) and have just released a new LP entitled "Montuenga" that is some sick shit. Much more subdued compared to their older ep and demo it combines an Isis like sound with their already solid rifts and fantastic vocals. "Montuenga's" tracks are longer and have more sweet dialouges that would be even sweeter if I could understand French; It can be ordered from any of the sites I will include at the bottom of the page.

As great as these guys are it's pretty difficult to grab their stuff in America. So I decided to throw up the whole Aussitôt Discography on this post. I hope you all appreciate it cause it's one fine bunch of ep's, demo's, etc. Enjoy!
