Drawstring - One, Two, Three (FFO: Dads, Grown Ups, Dikembe, CSTVT, Merit, Beach Slang)

[Shitty Rambo]

One of the best things about music is that specific styles can thrive in several different regions all at the same time. Although we can hear similarities, no two acts sound identical. Drawstring is a perfect example of a band that has taken the emo revival sound and infused it with the perfect amount of London, UK garage rock. Like the perfect cocktail of one half Grown Ups, one half Donots, with some Beach Slang and Moose Blood peppered in to taste.

This cassette is a compilation the band's first three EPs and includes a bonus track. You can hear them change and grow their sound from a more twinkly emo revival sound to a more raw and mature 'punch to the chest', similar to the Arizona 'bummer jams' sound coined by Merit and shared with similar acts like Pentimento and Dikembe. These tapes were dubbed, hand painted (with bass guitar strings), assembled, and numbered all in house. There are only 25 copies and each tape comes with the MP3s!
