52 Hertz - Twosome

The cuties from Würzburg are back. One year after the release of their astonishing Somnolence EP and a year of shows and hangouts the screamy emo-math three piece return with this two-song output. Only this time things are changing. The songs are as versatile as ever, a wonderful blend of up- and down-tempo parts, heart wrenching harmonies and joyful guitar lines, a rollercoaster of emotions...

Quiter – Won’t Call Back

Seattle’s Quiter released three new songs, following their promising Demo, which was released earlier this year. Those songs, along three remastered tracks from their debut, can be found on their new Extended Play called Won’t Call Back, which will be available on tape through the Band itself, Dog-Eared Records and Ponderosa Records. It’s incredible to see how the quality of the recordings has changed compared to their first release. Every single second of Won’t Call Back sounds beautiful, fully unfolding the band’s potential. We highly recommend this EP to everyone who’s into emotional music. Great Job, boys and girls!

Pepi Rössler / Camp Koala – Split

Recently returned from their co-tour, both bands from Budapest came together to create this split consisting of five songs. The contrast between the two sides of the split could hardly be greater, as screamo meets post-punk. While Pepi Rössler showcases their violent style, full of raw emotions and desperation, Camp Koala’s interpretation of post-punk ranges from indie to shoegaze. But, since I’m digging both genres, I feel like this variation isn’t a bad thing. On the contrary; this combination rules hard!

“This is the day that resembles death: dreams about touching but not feeling.”

Old Gray – dex

With dex, New Hampshire’s Old Gray deflects from their usual sound to spotlight the difficulties of mental illness and suicide. The sincerity is reflected in the heavy-hearted vocals and melodies, both slowly and utterly pondering. Here is the statement of Cameron Boucher:

“Over the past year I've spent a lot of time trying to come to terms with my manic depression, not allowing it to control me and figuring out how to make the best of it. This summer has been one of the hardest of my life because while trying to maintain a positive light I've lost several friends who didn't see how bright of a future they truly had, one being one of my closest friends from high school. He helped shape me to be the person I am today and it is my job to be the continuation of his life cut short. no matter your battle, suicide is not the answer, never forget that.”

Anne M. Christiansen – Uprostřed noci...

The small town of Orlová lies in the east of Czech Republic, just short of the border to Poland. It is home to a recently founded screamo 5-piece, called Anne M. Christiansen. The band was able to draw much attention after they released their first Extended Play. “Uprostřed noci...” contains 4 well produced songs, including a cover song of the band’s previous project “The sins of Lilith”. All songs are passionate and invite you to bang your head. I can’t wait for this to be release on cassette soon, a highly recommended soundtrack for everyone’s summer playlist!!

Scared of Everything – At the Bottom of the Valley Where the Burnt Bodies of Perillos and Phalaris lie…

What an incredible release by Portsmouth based Scared of Everything. The sophomore EP of the band from the UK is the follow-up of their selftitled debut and features three great songs. Their sound on the EP could be described as an amazing blend of screamo and post-hardcore mixed up with hints of metalcore – so, definitely no boredom here.

“This is the last song I will ever write about you. And this time I mean it. You’re fucking dead to me.”

Quieter – Demo

Recorded in a bedroom this Demo sounds pretty lo-fi. Anyway, Quieter from Seattle, WA created three great emo songs with some of the nicest melodies I’ve heard in a while, able to transport this certain kind of emotional vibe, which makes you want to cry and smile at the same time. It definitely will be exciting to see how their sound will work up, in case they record their next project in a proper studio. Go, and check them out!

Still trying to forget everything you said.
Still searching for a place to rest my head.”

La Petite Mort – Paper Is Patient

Found on the brilliant Miss The Stars Screamo Sampler Vol. II, this song hits hard. The compilation is packed with great bands like OsoLuna and Ephemera, but nevertheless the opening Paper Is Patient stands out. The song is the first musical output of La Petite Mort (Little Death) and – at the same time – it is functioning as an appetizer for their upcoming debut EP called Dear Reader, which will be recorded during the course of the month of May. If the rest of the EP can reach the level of this song, we will enjoy one of the best German screamo records of 2015.
