Daïtro / Sed Non Satiata Split

For those of you that don't know, Daitro and Sed Non Satiata are two incredible emo bands from France, who collaborated to make the best split I've heard in a long time. The Sed Non Satiata side contains what I would say is their best material, and having purchased this record because of my love for them, is the side I played the most. It clocks at over 22 minutes, with three 7+ minute songs and one 0:43 interlude. Often long songs tend to drag on and get a bit boring to me, but the constant rise and fall of this record will keep you entertained the whole way through. In fact, I was so enamored with the SNS side that I overlooked the Daitro side until very recently. Seeing as I work at a rather boring office job, I have alot of time to listen to albums and bands I may have neglected. This is how I found out about how much I was missing out on by not giving Daitro a legitimate chance. Their side is brilliant. I'm not going to say too much about it, because I'll ramble, and i feel the music speaks for itself, but immediately after hearing it I went online and ordered their discography tape.  Seriously, if you don't have this, GET IT. It's sold out through the bands and most distros, but if you really look you'll find it. I stumbled across it for $10 under the used:rare section of Vinyl Junkie Distro. What I didn't realize at the time was that that would be the best $10 I have ever spent. I don't think Sed Non Satiata is still active, but Daitro has their stuff up for order on their website here.

ghosting.- hearts. EP

ghosting. are a fantastic screamo band from Vermont. While I don't know a whole lot about this band, I do know that hearts is one of my favorite albums of 2010. I picked this up at a show in Edmonton from A Mountain Far Distro, along with some other rad albums. I hadn't heard anything about this band, but I was itching to buy some vinyl around this time, and once I heard the word "skram" I instantly forked over the money. I can honestly say this was the best decision I made that year. Upon arriving back home, I put this album on my turntable and listened, as it exceeded anything I could have hoped for. The vocal "battles" between members are the best things I've heard in a long time, and when put on top of nothing but drums, are the stuff of dreams. I could go on forever talking about how much I love this album, but I won't because listening to it will tell you all you need to know. Great band, great album. For fans of Reversal of Man, Celeste.
