The M/F Thread 2009: The Quickening
ALoveSupreme:
these are both fantastic albums. I wish I had gotten to see Benton Falls live!
E. Spaceman:
Some people may be missing these so I thought I'd upload them. They are the singles released by Hercules And Love Affair so far.
The first single "Classique #2 / Roar" is actually pretty different from what followed on the album. Within the first 10 seconds you can tell it is a DFA release and the disco is much less prevalent but it is still a very good release. The other two, "Blind" and "You Belong" have some interesting remixes on them as well as a pretty good original in "I'm Telling You". All in all, they are fairly interesting to listen to, specially the first single.

Clem Snide - Hungry Bird (2009)
--- Code: ---http://www.mediafire.com/?zmvzvmnzzjh

It's not out yet so their aren't any reviews. Gave it a listen and was pretty happy with it. It's classified as alt-country indie rock in case you haven't heard of the band.
Hamfatter - What Part of Hamfatter Do You Not Understand (2007)
Just some quality Indie rock stuff. Pretty basic but catchy enough to keep you listening.

Stuff said about them from The Fly
--- Quote ---Constantly refreshing... if only they'd hog the limelight a little more, cult collosaldom would be assured.

Giants - Old Stories
Great Post-rock stuff. Have a couple of dates with Appleseed Cast later this month, I would die to be at one of those shows.

Review from AbsolutePunk
--- Quote ---Whereas I found They, The Undeserving a bit high on the musical difficulty scale, Old Stories revels in its inherent accessibility. Song lengths, in true Giants fashion, never become too tedious and, with the exception of “Fisherman’s Prayer,” we are never forced to sit and wait for a nonexistent resolve. “Vessels” wastes no time elevating itself with melodious guitar plucking and a cymbal/tom assault. So as not to blow their load too soon, the band rests with reverberating guitars until the (almost) cliché entrance of ghastly, ringing guitars bring us back into the commotion. “O’ Tide” is characterized by lightly accentuated snare taps until the whole song explodes into a driving mess of guitar notes 10-stories high. This slow moving track will creep across your mind. Giants never rush their art past the listener, and these near-repetitions only aide our reception of the overwhelmingly complex arrangements.
“Sleeping False Idol” lays on a grungy outer layer to begin, which is then morphed into technical guitars and a head-bobbing drumbeat. The climax seems imminent throughout, and it is in these songs that we expect the most. I’ll let you decide if Giants succeed. (What?? Tell me what I like!!) “At Last, Ashore,” as I mentioned previously, has a decidedly EITS vibe, which makes it quite an exceptional closing track. If all the other songs are pre-teens, this song is their cool older brother wearing horn-rimmed glasses and a backpack full of Chaucer. He’ll shut you up with his brilliance and buy you an ice cold Pabst afterwards. The song may lack a mind-numbing climax, but that’s ok. It’s a road less traveled, if you will. Which I guess is a good (sorta ironic) way to end this since I’ve spent the whole review comparing and critiquing this record solely based on other records. Old Stories could have been created by sticking to the tried and true formula of records past, but this isn’t a complete rehash. Giants are comfortable in a skin all their own.

Blakfish - See You In Another City (EP)
Not sure how big this band is, but if you havent checked them out, now you can. Their myspace says "death pop". Not sure of the category but they are from the UK and switch from screams to not screams throughout. Good stuff though.

Review from ThrashHits
--- Quote ---See You In Another City, the latest release from Birmingham’s Blakfish, almost blasts you there in the second you press play – first song Preparing For Guests is prefaced with a throat slicing, vocal chord cutting, bloodcurdling scream, before the rest of the song kicks in.
It’s the first of five hard emotional punches that knock your heart and brain about with their deadly delivery.
Blending strains of post-hardcore with full-throttle rock and an underlying indie mentality, Blakfish offer up a delicious dish of brutal confessionalism that twists and turns with each intricate guitar note, guttural songs such as the brilliantly titiled ‘Jeremy Kyle Is A Marked Man’ and ‘My Stomach Feels Like My Throat’s Been Cut’, which reach deep down and eviscerate you as you listen, slicing through your guts to reveal your innermost self and leaving it strewn all over the ground.

I also have "Anthenigan" but it's too large for MF. If anyone would like it, I'll upload it elsewhere.

Hey guys see this?

Post-Rock stuff very similar to Appleseed Cast. This is their first album, they just released an EP called Foreword that is very good as well if anyone wants it.

It's really good. You should grab it.
