Native

Orthodox (2013)
Bandcamp 

Today is the day Native released their second full length album entitled Orthodox. This band easily makes it into my Top 10 favorite bands and I can't wait to fall in love with this album. They are going on a US tour with O' Brother soon to promote this album release.

Maelström

Le Feu Follet (2013)

One day my buddy Danny told me that he was just starting an EP and that he would have it done by the end of the week. To my surprise he actually accomplished it and the result is Le Feu Follet, an interesting assortment of ambient tunes and beats.  Head over to the Bandcamp page to stream it and show your support!

Dinner

And...Hearing Things (2009)
FileFactory

Dinner is a math/post rock band from Yamagata, Japan. This album was released in 2009. I have only listened to a few songs but I really like what I have heard so far. Give them a listen!

Langosta

Super Nature EP (2013)
Bandcamp

Well, langosta means lobster in Spanish, and we all know that lobster is a delicacy. This band is no different. This four song EP packs heat, name your price.

The Safety Fire (Switches from technical prog metal to glamcore)

So The Safety Fire has just released two new tracks entitled Red Hatchet and Yellowism, and I have to ask, is this even the same band anymore? The vocals have been seriously tweaked in post production, I've seen you play live before Sean and that is not your voice. Red Hatchet was simply okay, something I would expect out of a first single, but I am seriously disappointed in Yellowism. The band seems to be focusing more on their image as a bunch of goofballs who like to take their shirts off rather than the heavy, technical, no bullshit band that they were before. Sean you have a blood curdling scream, I'm not here to listen to you hit high notes and falsetto, and what was with the half assed break down at the end of Yellowism? I thought to myself, okay its not so good now but at the end of the song I'm sure they'll drop it, but no you left me with nothing but garbage and a shirtless alley throwdown. I was completely stoked to hear this new album after such impressive tracks like Floods of Colour, DMP (FDP), Animal King, and Circassian Beauties, but now I honestly feel sorry for you. You guys are going to get laughed at on tour with BTBAM and The Faceless.

If the rest of the album sounds like Yellowism then The Safety Fire is extinguished.
