Seahaven – Ghost EP

Cole Faulkner — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 18:30:58 +0000

Los Angels’ Seahaven is one of the most promising new post-punk bands of the year. Part Brand New, part Jawbreaker, and part the late Crime In Stereo, the band satisfies that craving for deep, emotional punk. Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra are also great comparisons – so many great bands come to mind they simply need to be heard. For my full thoughts, check out my full review.

Tiger Riot – Look Up

Cole Faulkner — Tue, 04 May 2010 18:30:18 +0000

Now here’s something fun and ambitious. At first it might seem like some glossy power-pop band – and you’d be right. But they have a little something more than just garden variety hooks and slick hair. It’s tough to place a finger on, but if you like post-punk, then you stand a chance at getting into this.

Hunt Club – Self Titled LP

Cole Faulkner — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 18:45:12 +0000

Hunt Club has crafted a short but great post-punk debut that draws on a little bit of everything. And I mean everything – there’s even a few banjos and accordion flourishes here and there. Oddly the combination works wonders and makes for an engrossing 20 minute adventure that is anything but predictable. Recommended for those who want something a little different.

Communipaw – Self Titled

Cole Faulkner — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:28:43 +0000

Cole’s Take: New Brunswick, NJ is home to a lot of great orgcore bands, but also to some great meandering melodic stuff. Communipaw is one of those bands. Their self released album comes courtesy the band teaming up with music blog Sound As Language, and can be downloaded thanks to that partnership.

Bobby’s considerably more well thoughtout take: Singer/songwriter Brian Bond’s other musical outlet includes drummer Keith Carne, bassist Dave Esterman and guitarist Brian Kelly. By mixing their love of soaring, anthemic indie rock with a classic songwriting sensibility and a slice of alt-country, Communipaw has crafted a dynamic brand of indie-pop, and thus built a reputation for originality in their hometown scene. This recording morphed into a year long adventure that brought the band to eight different studio spaces and inspired eleven new songs, experimentation, revision, and reinvention along every step of the way.The resulting self-titled record illustrates at once a lush synthesis of the group’s diverse influences – from shoegaze to surf rock and everything in between – and a testament to the maturity of the band’s songwriting.

The Wagner Logic – Easiest To Grab

Cole Faulkner — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 23:30:57 +0000

This Saturday’s second album will find it’s greatest appreciation from fans of experimental punk indie band’s like Brand New. The unique combination of emotional vocals and low key melodies has made this one of my favourite free releases in recent memory. Consequently I listen to it as much as, if not more, than anything I’ve purchased recently. The second track, Ambulance, is an instant classic. Play this track for some friends and you’re guaranteed to have them asking you for the artist name and track title.
