Touché Amoré

Photobucket

Pretty much the best new-fangled shiny attraction to emerge from the pit of the LA smog, a band who at the moment can do no wrong, resulting in every tom, dick and harry hardcore smothering them in a grip of screamo tinged hardcore punk bloodthirst. Seriously try your luck with the first demo and the hotly pressed LP '...To The Beat of A Dead Horse.' Guest vocals from Geoff Rickly from Thursday just about causes the latter to buckle under the sheer gravitas of it's own supremacy. Honest hardcore meets honest emotion - the resulting combustion will tear a trail across punk scenes worldwide.



Look how clean all the American kids are, how ironically organised and tame the stage invasions seem to be, in a well lit room. The kid in the Smiths shirt seems to be having a great time. Over here that would have been played out in a sweatbox and lead singer Elliott or whatever his name is would have been clawed to the floor. The UK might be shit at everything but go fuck yourself we know our punk

Deaf Havana & All Forgotten 9/3/09

On Monday night i'll be going to see Deaf Havana and All Forgotten in a co-headline tour at Joseph's Well in Leeds.

Deaf Havana got rave reviews from both Kerrang and Rock Sound, not only that but both magazines tipped them for widespread success in 2009. Deaf Havana play a melodic brand of Hardcore, they mix high adrenaline choruses with brilliant southern style guitar licks. The first time i heard them i was so impressed, coincidentally they grew up just a few miles from where i did in South Lincolnshire.

They have an EP out - 'They Call It The Easy Life' on Wolf At Your Door Records.

All Forgotten are from Woking and are currently writing their first EP 'Transitions'. Their music smacks of ambience and elegance all the while retaining a visceral edge courtesy of lead singer Jonathon Thorne's precise screaming, many a comparison has been pointed out between All Forgotten and London based Post-Hardcore outfit We Are The Ocean.
