Don't Mess With Texas - Los Dias De Junio (2007)
Post-Rock. The are from Croatia, I'm from Texas, it just makes sense to listen.

--- Quote ---There are whole armies of instrumental postrockish bands out there but Don’t Mess With Texas from Zagreb are for sure one of the best of all of them. Especially live they are an awesome and intense experience.
This intensity has been captured on this record as well. The dominant lead instruments are guitar and piano. Compared to the self titled debut the dynamics are worked out a little better and the piano lines are more diversified. The record is mostly in a laid back kind of mood. The heavier eruptions seam rather moderate but I guess in a live situation they might blast pretty much. It’s a listening record. Best listened to in an autumn night with thunderstorm and all. It is slow and urgent like good doom metal but in the same time dreamy and spherical like postrock. I really like it.

--- Quote ---Something happened to I Was Totally Destroying It in the past year, as though the band collectively decided its career had better be more than a few Cradle shows and local adulation (or derision, depending on whom you ask) after releasing its full-length debut in 2007. The tight, precise, polished power-pop the band peddles is the kind of ear-grabbing musical snowcone that many love, many love secretly, and many outwardly hate. This band could or should be famous, and its new, seven-track, MP3-for-free EP Done Waiting sounds refined enough to make for the big time. Whereas that first LP promised versatility at the risk of consistency, this EP finds the band, sonically at least, bursting with purpose. The debut's lighthearted momentariness gives way to a bolder push for something—anything—bigger.
In the process, some of the local allusions that made the debut a Triangle hit get lost, swapped for an elliptical songwriting tack that still suits the band's melodic propensities. Only "Teeth," with its snapped syllables and rhythmic bludgeon, cracks the sing-song mold, and even it swells into a milkshake-smooth chorus.
IWTDI's previous variety act comes folded into better textures beneath these focused tracks: No longer the chugging guitar-centrists of last year, the band stretches its range by adding acoustic plunking to the foreground of "The Masquerade" over the near-Theremin glow of Rachel Hirsh's keyboards. The album's most spacious track, it's a welcome contrast to the other tracks' large-venue ambition. Indeed, what's constant throughout is the record's clear ascendant aims, as if IWTDI got out of the basement and got dressed for a big-time job interview.

Red Room Cinema - Red Room Cinema (2008)
Instrumental / Post-rock
--- Code: ---http://www.mediafire.com/?omgznztkyt5
--- End code ---
--- Quote ---There are some excellent sounds emanating from Florida and not all the noise is coming from Gainesville anymore. Red Room Cinema hail from Tampa, Florida and play instrumental post- rock. Red Room Cinema practice a version of instrumental rock that at times allows for some sparse vocal interludes. However, for better or worse, this is music completely lead by the instruments.
It is always such a difficult assertion to make in regards to whether a band would be better off with or without vocals. Hell, I have heard my share of bands who probably should have left their lead singer on the roadside somewhere. Yet, for some reason, we always seem to think that instrumental bands lose their purity by adding vocals to the mix. For Red Room Cinema though, I feel as though they could benefit from more vocals. I feel as though the moments where guitarist Anthony Maltese does let his voice out allows the band to have some much needed sense of personality.
The album sounds nice and Red Room Cinema are quite adept at the standard issue rise-and-fall of instrumental music. Still, the band has a hard time distinguishing themselves from the mass of bands playing this style. Because of that Red Room Cinema will probably get lost in the crowded fray. That really is unfortunate as the band and this album show off some talented moments.

--- Quote from: michaelicious on 11 Feb 2009, 09:40 ---Here is an EP by one of my favourite bands to ever make music. They were called the Vermicious Knid. The EP is called Days That Stand Still. If the shitty shitty town of Brantford, Ontario was Washington, DC the lead singer of this band would be Ian Mackaye. Except instead of starting a label he started a music venue that puts on cheap all ages shows for local bands all the time.

Bruce Peninsula - A Mountain is a Mouth - 2009
--- Quote ---Bruce Peninsula is a big band that actually sounds big—members swarm from the crevices between plush toms and crackling woodblocks to literally round out the mix, make it warmer. A Mountain Is A Mouth is something special, a clusterfuck arrangement of bandleader, guitarist(s), percussionists, and revolving choir (friends, admirers, and inspirations) that avoids the obligatory: nuance, screaming, Sufjan Stevens, a trumpet player and a cute cello player from Muncie, or otherwise. Melodrama abounds; lyrics typically touch on cataclysm and finality, and it’d be ridiculous to expect a fat swath of talented songwriters to not lean (really hunker) into a perilous bout of gospel and tormented hymns, but the sheer breadth of the album feels almost necessary. Earned. Like there will always be enough crucial parts to play and everything sounds big because it must.
