I would really believe in RATM and the message if they donated all the money they are getting to play Coachella to organizations. This is a huge crash grab and that lineup and festival is the exact opposite of what this band should be doing in 2020

Looks like this is getting a repress soon.

I had a nice guffaw over the "...and a CD" at the end there.

This is cheap and looks badass!!

Haha, I'd expected something much heavier! But don't get me wrong - this is definitely great piece of music, relaxing I'd say; reminds me summer time so much! This is the way I imagine California in its seventies
Good luck with the record, Greg!

Hey everyone!  As a frequent contributor here, I figured maybe a couple of you might be interested to hear my band, Glass Pony.  We have our first album coming out on 11/2, and NYS Music has premiered the first track from the album.  If you like indie, shoegaze, post-rock, or jambands, you might find something to dig from this

You can check out "Stardust" at the following link:

Would love to hear any and all comments/critiques/flaming! 

If you are into bands like AmenRa, Cult of Luna and in general post-metal with a bit of hard-core, check Guantanamo Party Program.
You may stream all of their albums on bandcamp:

One pic as a teaser:

i got the Minsk demo that 3 Moons put out, it was pretty nice.  I'll have to check this out. 

After reading your reports from this festival, I realized I hardly know any of those bands. Can't believe how much music I do overlook nowadays, especially taking into account that huge part of my vinyl is post-rock. Seems like I have to refresh this shelf with new tunes after I got tired a bit with "generic post-rock" and "try to find new way with electronics" bands I have known. Thanks for this!

Back to work after the dream-filled Post. Festival. 

Seriously guys, I don't know why you all aren't there.  It's just..... incredible.  I know I gush over a lot of stuff, but seeing all these bands we love just absolutely DESTROY on stage is something truly special.  Great hangs with @mrewest who also got to see the PSOTY shirt that @drds89 gave to me a few years ago


As stated above, Girih DID annihilate Post. Fest.  Way better live than on record.  A quick run-down of my experience:

Shy, Low and Au Revoir - we all expected them to lay waste to that stage, and they did.  Shy, Low played TWO new songs, and Au Revoir ended with one new song.  All of them ruled.  These bands deserve to be so much bigger than they are. 

Pray For Sound - the best American post-rock band?  They would get my vote.  Even after losing their 3rd guitar player, these guys lost no steps.  They are impressive, and scarily consistent with their material quality.  They did 4 new songs, and they were all awesome.  The "Everything Is Beautiful" material continues to demonstrate that album's majesty.  I can't say enough good things about this band.  When I see them, I feel like I've just been given an IV of joy and positive vibes.  They're fun to watch, and painfully affable and friendly.  All the good things. 

Ranges - I know these guys are polarizing a little bit, but I enjoy them.  They have this weird meditative, somber thing going on that makes me think I'm in a quiet forest in the middle of the mountains and it's snowing and everything is perfectly still.  I like it. 

Lowercase Noises - Andy wrote a full set of new material that had a bass, drummer, and xylophone player.  It was really good.  It's not available anywhere because he wrote it all last week.  Not even joking.  (okay it was 4 weeks ago but still)

Circus Trees - these kids are going to be huge.  Them and Wander were the highlight stealers.  I was so, so impressed with them; their live set wipes the floor with their recorded material, which is to be expected because at the age they are, you grow and mature at such a rapid pace.  Don't judge them by their recorded stuff.  Go see them.  This was unbelievably good. 
 
SOM - a super group of post-rock playing Deftones-type stuff.  It was fine, a lot of people loved it (my gf included) and i enjoyed it but there's other things i like more.  The cooks in this kitchen are impressive though:  Caspian's drummer on bass, the singer is the lead guy from Constants (who also produced Waking Season and Dust & Disquiet), the guitar player from Junius, and they had Eric from Rosetta/City of Ships doing FOH.  Check it out. 

Driving Slow Motion - they started off as stereotypically bland and cookie-cutter post-rock as I could ever imagine seeing, but man.... when they started to get dark and weird, their material got very engaging.  I will be checking out more of their stuff, because this was impressive. 
 
Wander - jesus fucking christ.  Go see this band.  Probably the festival highlight for me. 

I/O - a treat to finally hear some of these songs, i've been listening to them for years.  They started off a little shaky, but once they got settled it was really really good.  They have an interesting mix of math with the post-rock and some jazzy elements with the very active bass player.  Real nice.  "Anna" and "Input/Output" were very strong.

Life and Times - I don't really get it, but they played well. 

Spotlights - I liked some of it, I need to check them out more - a lot of people were flipping out over them (like you Evan haha) and it wasn't bad by any means at all, just not completely my thing. 

Holy Fawn - yeah, they're the next Caspian.  These guys are going to be biiiiiig. 


The fest ended up being 1.5 hours behind schedule, so we missed TEOTO and O'Brother because of flight schedules and pragmatic life choices.  I'll see them again, but it hurt to miss TEOTO.  I don't love the new material, so it's fine.


All in all, this was amazing.  They sold nearly 300 tickets, which was awesome - it was pretty full and the space was perfect.  This is going to be a thing, and all of you need to get there. 

Maybe some of you slept on Beware of Safety "Lotusville" as I did (it's been 5 years and I still haven't heard it yet, didn't know they had even newer release; I lost connection probably due to leaving Mylene Sheath back then..) - here's your chance:

Quite a surprise for me (not music, the fact of new release):

LOL, bubblegutz was probably reefed as usual. Most of the big name post rock bands eschew the moniker for some reason, but shorthands or labels or genres as a starting point of identification for discussion. Not sure why they do, especially Mogwai. "Mostly-instrumental-rock-metal-band-with-loud-soft-loud-dynamics-atypical-song-structure-if-vocals-likely-used-as-another-instrument-sometimes-with-samples-and-longer-than-3-minutes-duration"
I've already written my opinion about Brian elsewhere.
And to think shoegaze used to be a derogatory term! 

I wanted to watch second season, so I watched some recap of first one found on youtube. Then I realized I don't remember a thing and need to watch it again. But.. as this is planned as trilogy, I decided to rather wait for the third and watch them all at once, than having to watch first season three times

Holy shit. Is this where all the Brand New fans went after they apparently called it quits?

PO is up on KRM :

US PO will be up lately

Cult of Luna "The Silent Man" (A Dawn to Fear pt. 1) On September 20th, Cult Of Luna will release their new album, A Dawn to Fear - the band's first material under their sole name since 2013's Vertikal 1&2. Building on twenty years of creating some of the most epic, emotive and inventive heavy music unleashed on the world, there is no denying that Cult Of Luna's A Dawn To Fear is a monster of a record. An album comprised of eight tracks running seventy-nine minutes, it embodies everything the band's faithful have come to expect from them while covering new ground. "Going into the process, we knew the album we wanted to make, an antithesis of what we've done before," says vocalist/guitarist and lead songwriter Johannes Persson. "For pretty much every album there's been a very concrete theme. We've known from the start the kind of story we wanted to tell, and I didn't want that to be the case. I've seen a lot of subtle changes and patterns in my own behavior and my own thinking the last couple of years, and I wanted this to be a completely spontaneous process. I just wanted to see what came out of me, and 'A Dawn To Fear' is the result of that."
 

Imagine waiting all this time to own 10K Days on vinyl and the only way to obtain it is through a $400 boxset with black-gold packaging that mirrors a Geocities webpage.

HELL YES!!!
 
 
My aux input busted about 7 years ago and I've never had bluetooth.   I only listen to CD's in my vehicle.   I still burn CD's like it's 2002.  So the download code thread in this forum is great for me.   The majority of my friends give me their download codes from their newer LPs because I actually use them also.   I've got LPs at home, BlueTooth  speakers for showering/getting ready or cooking, CDs in my vehicle, and Tapes at work (as well as my computer for bandcamp and podcasts).  
 
I have a 10 CD case that I took from a Mercedes rental back in college that I still keep.  In that case I have Joy Division "Closer", Tom Petty "Wildflowers", The Get Up Kids "Something To Write Home About", Charles Bradley "Changes", Godspeed You! Black Emperor "Lift your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" (2 disc),   Dengue Fever "Cannibal Courtship", Every Time I Die "Hot Damn!", and Neil Young "After The Gold Rush"
 
There are a ton of other CDs floating around in the vehicle outside of the case (a lot of local stuff), but for the sake of the thread, that's my case of CD's that doesn't leave the vehicle.

Before I started driving my wife's car a couple of months ago (we got an SUV for kid toting) I was driving an older Honda that had FM and CD; no AUX or bluetooth. I would put bootlegs and burned CD's in there in a "cake box" spindle. After a couple listens I put them back in the spindle upside down and blindly grabbed a rightside up one. Once they were all upside down I reversed the process. If anything even remotely skipped I pulled it out when it was done (or done randomizing if it was a burned mix) and pitch them. Most of the random mixes were generated from pulling tracks into an iTunes playlist titled by the date that I started compiling it. Every once in a while I'd make a mix strictly or an artist because I was really feeling it at the time. I will buy a must have album on CD at goodwill out of principle though. I usually give it to someone.
