Comadre

www.myspace.com/comadre
from: California, U.S.
genre: Screamo / Hardcore / Punk

Comadre is a band from Redwood City, a suburb of San Francisco, California, comprised of former members of Heartcrosslove, One's Own Ruin, and Light This City. Their sound is a shoot-off of hardcore and punk, played fast and chaotic with an abundance of energy, but with a large focus on melody and tunefulness as well. Their influences can perhaps best be shown by the covers the band has performed live, by groups such as Rites of Spring, Refused, Kid Dynamite, and Suicide File.

After playing a handful of shows and releasing a three-song demo under the moniker Coffin, the band changed their name to Comadre in the fall of 2004. The word "comadre," in addition to being loosely translated as "godmother," also is a slang-term for anyone not related by blood to be a part of another's family.

Since their formation, the band has released two LPs and one EP on their own Bloodtown Recordings, Dood Records, Cosmic Note Records in Japan, and ADAGIO830 Records in Europe, and has extensively toured the United States of America and Japan, in America most commonly with Los Angeles-based cinema-grind band Graf Orlock, and in Japan with hardcore band Endzweck.

Loom - Angler EP(2007)

Hear this band, now!!!

www.myspace.com/loom801
from: Salt Lake City, Utah U.S.
genre: Post-Punk / Math-Rock / Post-Hardcore
audio: 192 kbps

Who:
A Salt Lake City, Utah based post-hardcore quintet who are known for their powerful live performance and slowly building a name for themselves with their debut EP, Angler. The band cites a long list of influences including The Casket Lottery, Bear Vs. Shark, At The Drive-In, and Minus The Bear to name a few.

How Is It?:
Angler is a very refreshing and interesting debut release and the experimentation shown throughout the album shows the band had little fear upon entering the studio. As soon as the track “Castles” begins, you realize one of the key components of the band that sets them apart from their peers: a violinist. I am not talking just accents here and there either, the violin is an integral component of the bands sound and sticks out even amongst the frenzied drumming and dizzying, angular guitar work. Before I actually listened to this record and first discovered there was a violinist, I was a bit skeptical, but it just adds more depth to the album. There is never a dull moment on Angler, as Loom is constantly bombarding the listener with their intricate guitar work, explosive percussion and emotion laden screaming and shouting. Loom occasionally will slow the pace a little allowing the listener a short respite before launching right back into their adrenaline-fueled frenzy. Angler is a great starting point for these Salt Lake City natives, and while there are a few parts that could use fine-tuning, my only chief complaint is that this release was not longer. The band is currently working on a full-length and after the talents I observed on this record, I am eagerly anticipating the results of whatever they release next. (AbsolutePunk.net)

1. Castles
2. Hourglass
3. Sculpt
4. Tracers
5. Yell

www.myspace.com/cavein
from: Boston, Massachusetts U.S.
genre: Metalcore / Post-Hardcore / Rock / Progressive / Mathcore
audio: 160 kbps

This is what "Cave In" have to said about their EP:
«Wanting to do something special for our 2000-2001 US tour, we assembled this crazy looking CD (one of our favorites from Aaron Turner). Part of the Magic Bullet fan CD series, this EP includes an awesome remix of "Jupiter" done by Brian McTernan at Salad Days in Washington DC (we admit, THIS is how the entire album should sound), and we hope to someday have the entire "Jupiter" album remixed and remastered this good. The piano versions were done by Stephen on 4-track. The piano was recorded at Brookline High School, where Stephen had a painting job over the summer and took time on a lunch break one day to record these songs.»

Tracklist:
1. Jupiter (remix)
2. Big Riff (piano version)
3. Innuendo and Out the Other (piano version)
4. New Moon (piano version)

*All the credits goes to Blair Todd for this post

Description:
darlings' cabinet of sundry horror is sort of a church.
with darlings' you are there for a funeral, a wedding, or a private disclosure to the most high. the pastoral refrains are soap box, and sardonic. there is a spirit to convalesce, but not to abandon the troubling gnostic notions that make for their horror. Their singer croons like Cave (the bad seeds) and Gano (the violent femmes) contending with both god and the devil in their same manner.

The Birthday Party,
Violent Femmes,
Marilyn Manson,
Nick Cave,
Tom Waits

Tracklist:
1. devils! prophets! blind men! ghosts!
2. the knives are out tonight

Bellafea - Cavalcade (2008)

www.myspace.com/bellafea
from: North Carolina, U.S.
genre: Indie / Noise Rock / Post-Punk
audio: 192 kbps

Bellafea call Chapel Hill, North Carolina – a small college town famed mostly for its booming, influential 90s indie rock scene – home. The rich, independent music history and their subsequent Southern upbringing play obvious roles in structuring their individuality. Bellafea teems with the punk spirit of local townies Superchunk, while the trialing dissonance of Polvo shine through in their string parts. There is an earnest aggression in their music, perhaps channeled from their struggles with the vastly conservative Southeastern United States – the patriarchal, Bible-belt countryside where they grew up. There is resistance, and there is also a secular nod to their heritage and its inevitable and inspiring impact on their songwriting.

Cavalcade could be Bellafea’s “call to arms”. Recorded over two years during multiple sessions with Chapel Hill engineers Brian Paulson and Nick Petersen, focused on the ideas of plurality and layers, friends and enemies, dedication and rejection, decoding the feeling of fight. Bellafea’s urgency and battle cry is apparent; well-known for their captivating sold-out hometown performances, they have gained the loyalty of local musicians/friends John Darnielle (Mountain Goats), Dave Laney (Milemarker), Ben Davis (Sleepytime Trio, Bats & Mice), Daniel Hart (Polyphonic Spree, St. Vincent, John Vanderslice), Eric Moe (Zegota) who all – along with a choir of friends – lend a hand on their debut full-length.
