Kinda late, but my vote for band comp would have been 'Gone' by Mono.

BME Pain Olympics 2K14

Very little knowledge on the subject of architecture, however I have a fascination / slight obsession with Brutalist architecture.

I forgot one of my current favorites: Cerce

http://cerce.bandcamp.com/track/weary-2

backed.

Also Code Orange Kids are my addition, even though the vocals are split between female guitarist/male drummer

this thread is lacking in Adventures.

members of Code Orange Kids

I've been trying to get this to work but I'm not having any luck. Anyone got any suggestions?

I just listened to this with the lyrics and holy fucking shit dudes...holy fucking shit...I can't believe it took me this long to get to this album

 

Maybe its me, but the lyrics really give me a Pianos Become The Teeth - The Lack Long After feel in terms of intensity...just wow...

i hadn't noticed this, but that's such a perfect comparison.

finally checked this out yesterday, had it on constant repeat since then. ordering now.

Youth Lagoon – The Year of Hibernation

another Elliot Smith vote here.

excited to see what takes Y. definitely already know what album im voting for

So many good W albums but I'll go with...

 

sigur rós – valtari

 

Dear S. Rambo, jhulud, prcdc, midnightcity, Jenna Miles, and of course Admin

On behalf of VC cassette collectors, as it is much cheaper to afford, yet limited, and cool we would like to propose an official, "Cassette and Other Media" message board be created. The main reason being is that, there will be more opportunity for VCers and anon searchers of the internet a chance to sift through newly available cassettes, POs, represses, awesome finds etc on it's own instead of having to search through countless pages on the single thread, "Cassette Collective". We think there are quite a few of us that would love to participate in it. Also we believe this will help up and coming bands on cheaper DIY labels get their music out there. We feel it's all a win win situation. Thanks kindly for taking the time to read this and thanks of course for the mere consideration.

Sincerely

VCers! If you're down repost and sign your name under *sincerely!*

Let's do this!

Shameless (re)self promotion:
My band released this album in September, and it's a free download on bandcamp. Kinda all over the place genre-wise.

Little bit of pop-punk, little bit of post-hardcore, little bit of emo, little bit of electronica, little bit of post-rock, blah blah blah
