post-hardcore

hahaha this cracks me up, an excerpt from @altpress on yesterday’s email blast. but on some serious notes, i am every day more and more inspired by my brothers and sisters fueling modern metal. while so much of christian culture seems like a half-hearted, watery version of mainstream culture, christians make up some of the […]

so i listened to la dispute before, a long time ago, and couldn’t really get into it. this morning i randomly tuned into it and wow… mine eyes are opened. amazing, brutal emotionality. half spoken word, half post-hardcore half screams. really, really nice, and backed with decent musicianship. cheers,

UNDEROATH IS CALLING IT QUITS?! tooth and nail posted about it just now but the link is broken. i guess i’m not surprised, but i am definitely sad. best of luck to all of them. brothers in arms indeed. edit: the tooth & nail page isn’t loading for me, but read what would be there, […]

i-will-wait-for-you-endlessly: SPREAD THE WORD Confide announced this morning that they were officially back together and are working on making a 2nd album, due to be released this Winter (In USA). They have requested that fans help donate to them through their kickstarter in order to make the 2nd album. They have many awesome prizes you […]

i’ll post my other warped tour pics later. but for now, here’s one from my phone.. MEMPHIS MAY FIRE’s MATTY MULLINS tearing faces off. i’ve seen dozens of warped tour pictures now, and time and again matty mullins is probably one of the most iconic silhouettes of the tour, with his dope combover and perpetual […]

okay: confide, easily one of the most underrated bands of the genre. and they’re already gone.. bummer. i know their cover of Such Great Heights was a bit divisive, but overall confide was an extremely talented young band. i know joel piper’s got his own thing going [and a ton of love for it too!] […]

this has been one of the most captivating songs on With Roots Above And Branches Below. i can’t get over the THUMP. “I. KNOW. A. GHOST!” i’ve been talking a lot about prada lately. sorry i haven’t had time to get to any new music, especially wolves at the gate’s brand new FULL LENGTH, Captors, which […]

Audio Until the day I die,I’ll spill my heart for you.  legend-freaking-dary. the two story of the year songs that have videos are both somehow morbid and epically inspiring. Anthem Of Our Dying Day is probably one of my favorite songs out of them, but Until The Day I Die is a super strong single […]

i freaking love the devil wears prada… this is common knowledge. i’ve previously avoided the Zombie EP because i’d heard it was less melodic and more straight metal/metalcore. it’s also the least christian of the TDWP’s back catalog, and i know they wanted to just make a fun zombie CD. i’ve heard snippets, but today […]

i’m gonna say this and i need it to be clear that i don’t mean this to be a racial slur at all. i just saw a comment on the new pierce the veil video Bulls In The Bronx that PTV is starting to sound like it could be called “Mexicore”. this has absolutely been […]
