So Stressed Break Out

May 14, 2015 RayRay Leave a comment

Not many times will one be introduced to a band in the same way as you are with Sacramento based band So Stressed. My first exposure to the band is this new song “Apple Hill”, and I think you’ll agree with me when I say… woah. Let’s call it post-hardcore if you like? Whatever genre you’d put these guys in, you can’t deny the intensity of the angry vocals, fast as hell drums, and overall power of the song. Give me more of this.

So Stressed have a new album entitled The Unlawful Trade of Grecco-Roman Art due out on May 26th via Captured Tracks.

Can Metz Live Up to the Hype

February 18, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Honestly, Metz was a hot commodity a few years back, and I feel like their resurgence is perfectly timed. I’m weaning myself off (a little) from the mild folky tunes of Winter doldrums, and looking forward to getting my rock on, so this is fitting. Musically, the band’s as dangerous as they’ve been before, though there’s a bit of a change in the vocals that’s slightly new. To me, this track feels like a post-hardcore blast of rock, which is perfectly fine, but I’m interested to see what the rest of Metz II sounds like; it’s being released by Sub Pop on May 5th…and for the record, I’m buying into the hype.
