Four piece Rock band, Concave, released their debut EP 'Mind Is The Fear Killer.'  This EP features six song's, and comes out to just about under 16 minutes; 15 minutes, and 55 minutes to be exact. After giving this a listen, I gotta' say that Take Care of Me Pt. I is my favorite track off of this EP, but Rush is a close second. 'Mind is the Fear Killer' is a smooth chill ride, that is nothing but vibes the whole way through. It's slightly reminiscent of early 80's rock, at least in my opinion, at that is stylized in the album cover as well. Additionally, I think the signature's in the top left were such a cool touch, and I just had to mention that. Check it out! and show Concave some support!

New Release! i bit my tongue to shut me up - your fragile hand's

    Orange County Emo band Your Fragile Hand's released 'i bit my tongue to shut me up' on November 18, 2024, as a single to their upcoming EP. Their debut EP, 'XX' was released not to long ago on August 2nd, of 2024, but I think this single is already a step up from an already great release. 'i bit my tongue' begins with anguishing scream's carried by the apathetic, and dismal progression of the surrounding guitar, until it finally collapses into a loud explosion of noise at the end. If this is just a snippet of what to expect from the full release, then my anticipation is high, and I can't wait to see what Your Fragile Hand's has planned!

Interview #1 - Saint Claire

  Hello! ...and welcome to our first ever interview on Blogspot! Of course we had to choose something special to make our debut with this, a band that we haven't interviewed previously, but deserved all of the recognition that they can get. That band is Saint Claire, and for a band that released their first song in 2023~ they already have an impressive discography consisting of five singles, and 1 EP. I think that they might be truly something special, and if you haven't listened to them already, I really think you should consider doing so.
