Heart On My Sleeve - Blood Is Not Thicker Than Wine + split with состояние птиц

Carry On Carry Me by Heart On My Sleeve

Heart On My Sleeve (facebook) is a fairly new band, with the same female that sang in the band Hope And Failure (old post of that band), and does so in this band with the same intensity I expected. If you must compare, this band's sound is much more uptempo in a melodic/passionate hardcore punk kind of way. A way that actually reminds of a couple of scandinavian hardcore bands, with a huge scoop of emotional torment and/or passion added, making up my mourning over the loss of bands like Meleeh, Suffocate For Fucks Sake, JR Ewing and Dominic. ace stuff, really!

Sailing On - Hinterland

Ishmael by Sailing On

Sailing On (blog) is a modern hardcore band, obviously paying close attention to big names in the genre. Especially the darker and/or melodic subdivision of it. The guitar melodies come across as vaguely familiair , with such a recognisable sound, while the female screaming and the percussions + bass are pummeling their way through, adding the nuances that set this band apart. thus giving this band an accesible sound with plenty originality presented on the figurative table.

Mahria - Self Titled

Ghost Limb by Mahria

Twinkle daddies playing upbeat emo-influenced post-hardcore music with a radical mama shouting at the mic. Mahria (facebook) bring the twinkly/noodly music with a great sense of melody, guiding the always complex plucking and tapping patterns to punk-rock and powerchord strumming and back again. The shouted-from-the-top-of-her-lungs vocals add to the sheer distress coming from this band’s sound, taking the emotional atmosphere to greater heights rather than come off whining and at the same time compromising the raw with the approachable aspects.

Out Of The Box On Sunday XXXI

Trailer Park Boneyard by The Coathanger

The Coathangers (blog) is a radical all-female rock band. every single member takes on vocal duties, beside their respective instrumentation, thus adding more variety to their already versatile sound. this is more noise than melody, bringin (post-)punkish and very obnoxious noisy rock together. turns out this band started off as a joke, explaining why they would choose such a name as a ghoulish and ironic reference to abortion, and songtitles like "Nestle In My Boobies". hehe. yeah...
