me and him call it us - Loss

me and him call it us (yes, all lower case) was a three-piece band from Georgia who played a highly emotional style of fast paced, spastic metal music. Their only full length "Loss" is an album that was seemingly recorded in a cave by a group of emotionally distraught kids on the brink of a psychological breakdown. The album is a pure fucking neurotic mess - a collection of compositions that encompasses feelings of angst, aggression, loneliness and heartbreak, one which delivers songs that go from one end of the musical spectrum to the other, leaving the listener curious, but mentally overwhelmed. However, what this album lacks in depth and consistency, it makes up for tenfold with its relentless assault of chaotic and soothing noise. I first heard this album five years ago when it initially came out, and I appreciate it more-so now for the unstable mess that it is. "Loss" is not a casual listen, nor is it and album written for the faint of heart. To those who are curious, Godspeed.

Please Inform The Captain This Is a Hijack


A Please Inform The Captain This is a Hijack post has been long overdue on this blog. PITCTIAH was a criminally under-appreciated punk band from San Diego California. Their two releases are the perfect examples of sociopolitical punk rock done right. Sounding like a mix between At The Drive-In and Dead Kennedys, their messages of totalitarianism and freedom of speech are brought to the forefront of their music primarily by their lyrics and use of samples from various political speeches (these samples appear in practically every song). The quality of the songs themselves is only accentuated by the amazing production quality. This band writes the soundtrack to quitting your job and starting a riot. Listen at your own risk.

A Bunnys Caravan

There's really no justifying the fact that A Bunny's Caravan is so unknown. Well, that's somewhat untrue, considering they never toured nor played a live show, and they broke up immediately after the release of "Draining Puddles Receiving Treasures", their one and only album. This album is a constant reminder why one should be excited with the post-rock genre. Sounding like an eclectic mix of Appleseed Cast, Death Cab, and Saxon Shore, A Bunnys Caravan managed to write one of the most endearing and heartfelt records released this decade. The album begins with "Inclosed By Skies", a ten minute, synth-laden, post-rock epic that ends with one of the most goergeous crescendos you're likely to ever hear. It's difficult to write an in-depth analysis of this recording since there's such scant information regarding it, but maybe the mystery is an appealing factor for this band. The only tragedy of ABC that they have so few listeners - so I'm here to change that. Stop reading and listen.
