JUNE OF 44

This shit rocks, its complex both with mathy time signatures and its near jazzy rock thats also very energetic. At times they can sound like a slightly more aggressive Modest Mouse. The song Lifted Bells verges on straight up jam. Just listen to the album.

Rites of Spring

Pre notation:  This band fucking rocks just give them a listen

 Lately I've been massively into 80's hardcore punk, post-hardcore, and emo (not the fucking shit bag idea it has become now, but rather just hardcore punk with more introspective lyrics and more technicality).  In 1985 there was a boom of new hardcore bands in the summer, "the Revolution summer" that took the current status of hardcore which was violent and angry to a more progressive approach with more introspective lyrics, a less aggressive approach but instead more lighthearted.  Rites of Spring have been exactly what I needed.  Its punky, up beat, great for the up coming summer, and the vocalist's voice is completely his own.

Artist: Rites of Spring
