To The North

to the north

To The North is a pretty great jazzy math rockish band from Brisbane, Australia. They really remind me of a band from Surrey named Meet Me In St Louis, who had the same mathy sound but retaining the punk feeling to their music; much like To The North. Even though they haven't been around all that long (2/07) they have had several releases which include, a cd/ep-still available from Yellow Ghost Records, and a new 7" split with Ohana; which I currently do not have. They're also going to be on the upcoming "Viva La Danza" compilation along with a number of wonderful punk/screamo bands (age sixteen, deers!, men as trees, Louis Cypehere, etc.) which should be kept track off on Zommerkamp Records. To The North also recently released a downloadable live set from a DIY fest in Australia-which I will include in this post-that includes a much different side of the band in which half the time you feel like your listening to a hardcore punk band that had sex with a jazz instrument. The cut rules and is about 23 minutes in length. They also have their own blogspot in which you can keep up to date on them and get lots of free SWAGG! I really dig their unique sound so check em out and lemme know what you think!
