REVIEW: Frameworks – ‘Loom’

Artist: Frameworks Album: Loom Genre: Post-Hardcore/Screamo/Emo Label: Topshelf Records Each day, the lines that separate one genre from the next become more and more blurred.

Skrillex And Anthony Green Tease Potential Collaborative Screamo Release

This is a little old, but it’s just getting traction now. Besides, a bit more publicity might light a fire under the asses of these two. Sonny Moore, currently operating under his production/DJ moniker Skrillex, has a long, deep relationship with extreme music. Before dropping the heavy bass, he was screaming heavy verses as the […]

REVIEW: Capture the Crown – ‘Til Death

Artist: Capture the Crown Album: ‘Til Death Genre: Screamo/hardcore Label: Sumerian Records Capture the Crown refer to themselves on their Facebook page as “metal/hardcore” done the Aussie way. Oddly enough, they sound exactly like every other hardcore/screamo band you’ve ever heard. They are exactly as alienating, making cacophonous, tuneless music that will only appeal to […]

La Dispute Live Session

Grand Rapids, MI rockers La Dispute stopped by Denton, TX to perform a quick toned-down 3-song set for the folks over at the Violitionist Sessions.

REVIEW: Duck. Little Brother, Duck! – Don’t Take Our Filth Away

Artist: Duck. Little Brother, Duck! Album: Don’t Take Our Filth Away Genre: Alternative Label: Topshelf Records I know I’m not supposed to like this, because this is all faintly ridiculous. And yet…I kinda do. There’s no consistency beyond the rough and tumble set-up; the songs are all varying lengths and it’s nigh impossible to figure […]
