Pills - Not About God

 listen to sterile by Pills

I found this band by checking what former members of Funeral Diner were all up to. Hardcore band Pills (facebook) features members from Funeral Diner, Takaru, Burial Year and Drowning With Our Anchors, forming a band that produces a fairly straight-forward chaotic hardcore sound. They parade with a frenzy of noise rock, chaotic hardcore and sometimes the mathy variant of screamo music. Hopping from rock 'n roll ETID style, to start/stop complex and uptempo excerpts from various branches of punk music. while hysterical vocals are the only glue holding the fickle elements into one consistent mass.

Fallacies - Searching For Conviction

 listen to Out of This by Fallacies

MELODIC HARDCORE PUNK.

<- that was just to inform people not interrested in that genre they may want to stop reading.

Because Fallacies (facebook)  does little more than push the envelope fort hat branch of punk rock subdivisions. As if that’s not an accomplishment by itself. For a first release, made by a band that’s been active for little over a year at the time, this record shows some promising attempts at catchy melodies, heartfelt vocals/lyrics and clever songstructures. Everything you could expect is already there, but if you like basic elements in the genre; you’re bound to like their approach to them.

Engineer - Crooked Voices

 listen to The Idiot's Theme by Engineer

This is the 7th release by (ex-The Minor Times band) Engineer (facebook). down-tempo hardcore with an amazing sludgy groove and their signature raw -even somewhat emotional- vocals, that both easily fit under a Post-Hardcore label. which I found interresting, since the label sludge is so often misplaced on downtempo Post-Hardcore bands, not that anyone should take such labels seriously, but this is a band that blends the trve with untr00 with the best from both worlds. nevermind. this is dark yet catchy stuff, with influences from all sorts of slow and extreme music, which always beats tapping from a single narrow source. as these guys proove.

Out Of The Box On Sunday XV

listen to Incomplete by Football, Etc

Football, etc (bandcamp) is an indie/emo rock band that takes me back to when I thought most of bands like Sunny Day Real Estate or Mineral. they take you on a trip to the late 90's emo sound, via the rather typical sound that is the standard for bands on the Count Your Lucky Stars label, like this band in particular. The vocals are hypnotizing and don't seem whiney, when the pace gets really really slow and the melodies would leave no one unmoved.
