where are you guys pre-ordering this please?

I gelled with 2 songs on March Fires. White Leaves, which could be my all time favourite Birds song, and Sirin. Apart from that, it was... super shit. 

 

Its funny watching the banter between the band (who are sticking up for their 'change in musical direction') and the fans (who are saying that the band wouldnt be where they are without their unwavering support), who really aren't gelling with the new Anchors EP. Good to see the band sticking up for themselves, but unfortunately i have to agree with the general consensus being they've sold out

 

Still, its pretty funny! Go check out the comments on their facebook posts about the Anchor EP 

 

Just listened to Anchor. Its pretty boring middle of the road stuff, seems like a contiunation of the slide into biege they stared with March Fires. Shame becuase I love their early albums. How the hell does Ian keep up the goodness of Karnivool while BOT turns to lameness....

 

Agree with you Beags, the latest album from BOT is generally weak.

Karnivvol are more nu metal/alt than BOT but Ian Kenny's brilliance really shines through. I guess BOT are a little less experiemental but they are fantastsic, here's a taster

 

Murmurs (killer chorus!)

The Gap, a beautiful tune



Circles

What remains of the vinyl is here, start with Universes:

I PO these too, if they are mastered by Don Bartley they are going to be brilliant. Don is a bit of a legend in Oz.

 

The sister bands to the Vool is the Birds of Tokyo. It would be true to say in Oz that BOT is way more known than Vool. I probably put BOT ahead of Vool so if you're a fan then chckout BOT, they too had a vinyl reissue program going and I think some albums are still available

Shame they are instore only especially if you are a fan of either band. Its like a private RSD Most will probably be on eBay within 24hrs

Are these instore only? HMV has a pretty good online presence.
