EmoVeganBoy Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Loving this album after my first listen. Checked on my phone at 11:50 and saw it was up. Bought instantly haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 really curious to see what the euro variant is, I'll wait unless they get low, I'm just not a fan of white unless I have to, hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmoVeganBoy Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 It's worth noting that Broken World Media has said that the record will be available as a free download when they hit 200 pre-orders. They said on a Facebook post 45 minutes ago that they are already very close. So I say definitely give this a listen on bandcamp and buy it if you enjoy it and then we can all download it before we get our records.

dave_jones Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 haven't listened to much of this, but the first EP sounded like a pure rip off of la dispute. this any different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmoVeganBoy Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I can see how they could be put in the same category as La Dispute, but I would say they are far from being a "pure" rip off or any rip off at all of them. They definitely have their own style. Also, do you mean the recent EP they put out called "Everything I Let Go & The Things I Refuse To" or do you mean "Do I Dare Disturb The Universe"? Though, either way I don't think either is THAT similar to La Dispute. But I do hear some flashes of it now and then in there. They have similar musical styles and they both scream and do some spoken word and have deep poetic lyrics. I find Old Gray's screaming style to be a bit more hectic/chaotic at times. They switch it up a fair amount, whereas I find La Dispute has a more steady rhythm to the screaming/yelling. I don't know how to articulate it that well I guess, but Old Gray is far from a rip of of La Dispute or anyone else currently making music in my opinion.

jerseydave77 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 This band never struck me as being like La Dispute. They remind me a bit more of the 90s era emo honestly. Then again I can't stand La Dispute but dig what this band has done recently. EmoVeganBoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmoVeganBoy Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I honestly really dig both bands, so it's not like I'd take any offense to someone comparing it to La Dispute. If that helps to give my points above any credence. I just don't really hear a whole lot of similarities beyond the faint similarities in general style. Definitely wouldn't call Old Gray a rip off by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_jones Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 i'll give it another chance. i think it was the "everything i let go" ep that i had heard. the spoken word parts were what made me think la dispute rip immediately. just listened to the first few tracks of the new one. the first song was enjoyable, but i'm not a big LD fan because of the spoken word, so this probably won't be a favorite of mine either.

alogical Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Loving this album after my first listen. Checked on my phone at 11:50 and saw it was up. Bought instantly haha. hell yeah me too. I was going to buy it either way to support Cameron and the guys cause they're awesome. Anyway, you guys should give it a listen since it's free now anyways, and if you like it enough purchase from Broken World. Which is run by Derrick from The World Is...

blanchardoswald Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 That first EP seems more of a Listener rip off than a La Dispute rip off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmoVeganBoy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Dog Knights just posted this on their Facebook: European Old Gray fans, this is the announcement you were waiting for! Here is all the info for the European pressing of 'An Autobiography'.- 300 copies pressed; two colourways- Pre-order cover for the first 25 orders and double pack orders- Different label/spine art to the US press- 5 tracks on side A, 3 tracks on side B. This is so both sides are around 13minutes each and the record can be pressed at 45rpm!I want to thank the band for asking Dog Knights to put out a Euro version. This album is incredible and i so happy to be a part of this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisSigsFan Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Crazy how much attention these guys have been getting lately. I've known Raph (guitar/vocals) for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I've listened to this DL three times now. This is an awesome little record. Love it. Glad something like this can be released today - something about the style blasts me back to circa 1995 but with much better production values.

EmoVeganBoy Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 This is up at Dog Knights Productions. http://www.dogknightsproductions.com/DK/Store.html Double pack seemed to be sold out when I first tried to add to cart, but it just worked for me.
