Band Dump

Band Dump

Itch - UK band that has been around the block. I always forget about these guys but they have a new album on the horizon and the new songs sound great.

Mirror - Exciting, jazzy, instrumental stuff from Japan. On, Then, In is the band’s 2007 debut album and it’s an impressive slice of mathy rock.

September Malevolence - The new songs this Swedish band have posted for their upcoming record are tremendous. Post-rock with vocals? Yes indeedy.

White York - New York band that play gruff pop punk rock. Just got the band’s new seven-inch in the mail!

The Read - Cincinnati band that owes more than a few licks to bands like Gang Of Four and Q And Not U. The band’s demo is rough but promising.

  1. Some great stuff here.

    Do the Japanese have to perfect EVERYTHING they do? Those Mirror tracks are phenomenal.

    Really digging September Malevolence as well.

    Well played.

  2. I thought I was listening to Q and Not U when I put The Read on. The good Q and Not U too. Not the bad one.

    Speaking of the Japanese perfecting everything…
    these guys make most of their American counterparts like like a bunch of fourth-graders playing goddamn recorders.

    The most delicious math you’ve sunk your teeth into since What Burns Never Returns.

    I just bought their entire catalog and it was worth every penny.

    Listen. You shan’t be let down.
