Wot Gorilla?

Kebnekaise (2012)
Bandcamp

After a quick Google search I found that Kebnekaise is the name of the highest mountain in Sweden. Now that we got that little fact out of the way, Wot Gorilla? released their first full length album a matter of days ago. I am really excited to listen to this album after being thoroughly impressed by the earlier EP's. Wot Gorilla? is just one of those bands that really stand out as their own genre. The lead singer's voice is the perfect compliment to the complex use of tapping, time signature changes, and melodic breakdowns that seem to put a weight on your chest. This album really stands out on first listen and I'm sure this will soon grow to become one of my favorites.

Oh and hey Wot, nice job with the screams.

The Velocity Raptors

I, Donna (2012)
Bandcamp 

The Velocity Raptors is an ambitious math rock/post rock band with an upbeat in your face feel. The instrumental's have a poppy punky twist that put a smile on my face at first listen. The music could be mistaken as the soundtrack to a cartoon, with its adventurous feel and dreamy loops. This two song EP is available on their bandcamp page, along with another former release. Don't be afraid to click the link!

Cloudkicker

Fade (2012)
Bandcamp 

Ben Sharp is back again with his fifth full length album entitled Fade. This man is constantly redefining his sound, from the heavy and emotion packed album Beacons to the feel good shoegaze of Let Yourself Be Huge, he now releases a uniquely progressive album that seems to have a little of both. This is one of my top favorite bands, one of the bands on this blog that I would highly recommend listening to. Check out my older posts here to find the full Cloudkicker discography, you HAVE to hear Beacons.
