brain fever- brain fever LP

I'm going to be totally honest. I slept on this band for a long time. I had seen them a few times but I never really got into them until I saw them play at Ghost Throats this year. They played a great set, I bought this LP right after, and played it on repeat as soon as I got home. It's fast, it's noisy, and it's short. 13 songs of mathy hardcore insanity clocking in under 20 minutes. This is one of my favorites of the year, and its free to download from the band's Bandcamp page, so what are you waiting for?

Cera- Swans EP

This is a long overdue post. It took me forever to get this album because of money issues and distance problems, but this week I finally got it and I can't say enough good things about it. I've listened to these songs hundreds of times between the band's Myspace and Bandcamp pages, and the songs are just as good as the first time I heard them. A perfect mix of pop-punk and 90s emo that steers clear of the stereotypical definition of both. If you haven't heard this band yet, get on it. Here's the link to their Bandcamp, where you can download this for $5 and their debut EP for a measly $3. The band is working on a new album, so buy the album and support great independent music!
