Short But Sweet, Polite And Respectful #21

Lilith is one of the most interesting bands from my neighborhood and assuredly one of the best. Hailing from Nuremburg, the threepiece stands out for its exciting sound made of a sophisticated blend of dashing emoviolence and jazzy guitarwork. O is the follow-up of their outstanding demo tape, which was released in the first half of 2014. Nevertheless, the band was able to develop their sound on this new Extended Play, taking their style to a new level. Consisting of seven songs, this EP is highly recommendable. Make sure to give it a listen and if you have the opportunity, go and see Lilith at their upcoming tour between December and February.

We might be a little late with this one too, but great music deserves to be mentioned and Circle Thinking by I Hate Sex is definitely worth it.

Just add some of the most brilliant lyrics you can image and you get a flawless result. I Hate Sex is Nicole, Ashton, Jibril and Curtis and their debut is on point. Well done!
