Hi, I don't have time to post albums as much anymore as you can see (it's been a year haha).

I have a website, http://youarewhatyouconsume.org

I might come back to this blog, but it's likely that if I have albums to post, I will post them on my website. Thanks!

Against Me! - 12" EP

2010-07-08T19:04:00.000-07:00

This is one of Against Me!'s first releases, put out by Crasshole Records (A//Political).
This is raw, and if you don't like a bit of bad recording quality you probably won't enjoy this one, and I know alot of assholes will say "I like their first releases the most even though it sounds like shit", and at this moment I'm one of those people. This is straight up hands down my favourite Against Me! release.

Tracks:
- Haste Killed Creativity
- I Am Citizen
- Walking is Still Honest
- Rock N Roll Bullshit
- All or Nothing

I've literally went through a phase with each of the songs where I have put them on repeat until the sound was engraved into my mind and I loved every hour of it.

I Hate Myself - Discography

2010-01-20T16:47:00.000-08:00

This is hands down honsest to god one of if not my favourite bands.
I realize you find I Hate Myself everywhere, I just took the liberty of throwing in all the albums so you can download them all easier. That's because...
You have to have them all. All their albums sound different, and they're all good. Their full length "Ten Songs" is an obvious favourite, but a lot of people look over the Final 7" which is often considered better than Ten Songs and it only has 2 songs on it. Anyways my other favourite is the "tht split". I don't know if that's named properly or not... and if it is I don't know who or what tht is, but it's good.

This band is unrivaled because I literally can't find anything that sounds like it.
To be honest I chuckled to myself the first time I heard the name of the band, but completely fell in love after giving it a couple of listens.
To this day I can't find anything as good or as emotional. It's so cliche to say "You can feel the emotion from the band", but if there's any better time to say it, it's now.

Before this gets too TL;DR, I'll shut up and provide a link.

CONTAINS:
Final 7"
Ten Songs
tht split
3 songs 12"
4 songs
(There's also a live version of Darren's Roof that I don't know where I got, or what it's from.)

Some notable tracks to keep an ear out for without listing off everything:
Less Than Nothing
Roy on the Make
This Isn't The Tenki-Ichi-Budokai
To a Husband at War
Drama in the Emergency Room
Polar Bear Summer
Darren's Roof
Kamikaze
...And Keep Reaching for Those Stars
Conversations With Dr.Seussicide
Caught in a Flood with the Captain of the Cheerleading Squad

aaaaand I ended up naming half the songs

Moldar - Discography

2009-12-04T12:33:00.000-08:00

Moldar was a (completely underrated) band from Pasadena, California who were active from 2007-2009. All five of these songs sound at least a bit different from the others. They're all really good, though. Speaking In Tongues sounds like the vocals from Shotmaker and the istrumentals from the Explosions in the Sky album Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die.
All in all I, this is worth downloading and checking out, you won't regret it. I'm glad there's still some good bands being pumped out.

Shotmaker - Discography

2009-11-30T20:04:00.000-08:00

Shotmaker is from Belleville, Ontario, Canada. Started in 1993, they were a post-hardcore/emo outfit who played aggressive yet melodic hardcore music.
The point is, seriously, this band is amazing and I don't remember if I downloaded this or where I got it from. My favourite track is Uninhibited but they're literally all good.
This is their discography that has 37 songs on it so I'm not going to take the time to write each one out.
I very very very very highly recommend this band to everyone.

Heroin - S/T

2009-11-30T13:26:00.000-08:00

Heroin was a short-lived but influential underground hardcore punk/emo band, originating in San Diego in 1989. They were forerunner of the screamo subgenre of hardcore punk and were known for their complicated, difficult-to-digest explosion of carcinogenic guitar noise, almost unbearably fast drums, heart attack-inducing rhythms, and screamed, frantic vocals. Their lyrics were invariably intelligent and perceptive, sometimes even poetic.

Alright, so that’s basically some copypasta from wikipedia and Heroin’s page on Gravity Records. I don’t really find them too “difficult-to-digest”, and I don’t find they have “unbearably fast drums”, and I don’t find they have “screamed, frantic vocals.” Still, seriously though. I love this band. This is one of their self titled releases which I got from a friend who got it from a friend. I can’t find it uploaded anywhere or on any blogs, so enjoy this.
