You Blew It!

Thanks to Awo for the request.


You Blew It! is a five-piece band from Orlando, Florida, though they play emo/indie as if they were from the Midwest, Cap'n Jazz/American Football-style. Modern bands like Algernon Cadwallader, Joie De Vivre, Dikembe, Dowsing, etc. could work as comparisons as well, I guess. Very clean, noodly guitar parts decorate each song, which occasionally turn into slightly overdriven, full, ringing chords or octaves. The vocals are another great point with this band. They're usually really catchy, but with the perfect amount of melancholy thrown in. They can get fairly strained and off-key at times (in a good, gruff way), but can also turn quiet and melodic, which is a dynamic they often employ to their benefit. They're currently signed to Topshelf Records. That's it, I guess. These guys are a fucking awesome band, and personally one of my favourites in this niche of music, so check them out. Enjoy.

Self Proclaimed Narcissist

Band Submission. Self Proclaimed Narcissist is a one man (sometimes three piece) folk punk band from Roseburg, Oregon, formed in 2009. I just started listening to these guys, and I'm loving it so much, This genre is one of my favorite, and it's one of the best, in my opinion. SPN has awesome lyrics and this great raw sound, and it's just all-around amazing. Linked below is the EP they sent us to upload, but if you like it, go to their Bandcamp and download some more stuff, and if you can, pay them for their great work!

Transit

Thanks to Justin and Anonymous for the request, and thanks to Shadman for helping out with the post.


Transit are a five-piece pop punk/emo band from Boston, Massachusetts that formed in 2006. They've been one of the most prominent and noteworthy bands in modern pop punk, and for good reason. Transit consistently knock out great songs that are infectiously catchy, but still personal and relatable. As their sound developed, they began to incorporate a strong influence from bands such as American Football, most notably with the guitar work. They're currently signed to Rise Records, though they have worked with Run For Cover and Mightier Than Sword in the past, among others. Transit are a great band, I don't know what else to say. Enjoy.

The Space Between Thoughts

Band submission. The Space Between Thoughts is the one-man project lead by Aidan Morley, who put out his debut album earlier this month (July). The entire thing was written (with the exception of a Joy Division cover) and recorded by him over a two-year period. The result: There It Is! I Can Almost See It!. This album is entirely instrumental (again, with the exception of the Joy Division cover), and certainly contains many post-rock leanings. The album is mostly guitar-based, featuring a nice blend of both electric and acoustic guitars, though there is occasionally some drums and bass (though the drums sound like they were done using a program). This album is nicely varied, and each song brings some new ideas to the table. Overall it's quite atmospheric and reverb-laden, though can still range from being ambient, to melodic, to dark, heavy, and ominous. This is certainly an interesting album that features some great and innovative guitar work, so check it out. Enjoy.

Sed Non Satiata


Sed Non Satiata are a screamo band from Toulouse, France that began in 2003. There are a bunch of amazing French screamo bands (Daïtro, Le Pré Où Je Suis Mort, Amanda Woodward, Anomie, etc.), and Sed Non Satiata are among the best. They basically cover all possible aspects of screamo you can think of. They're intense, dark, chaotic, heavy, passionate, dissonant, melodic, bludgeoning, noodly, etc., etc. This band is essential, so check them out. Enjoy.

Raein


Raein is a screamo band from Italy that began in 2002, went on hiatus in 2005, returned in 2007, and are still around today. They share members with fellow screamo titans La Quiete. Raein are one of the most essential and influential bands within their genre, and for good reason. I don't think this band needs much more of an introduction, since the music can speak for itself from here. Seriously, check this band out if you haven't already, you're missing out.

Nam Le

Band submission. Nam Le are a four-piece post-hardcore band from Allentown, Pennsylvania that began in 2012. They just put out their debut album, and it is definitely one you should be getting into. This is an incredibly solid album, that I thoroughly enjoyed throughout. If you like bands such as Title Fight, Joyce Manor, Touche Amore, and Citizen, then Nam Le should definitely be on your radar. They take the best elements of those bands and mesh them together to create their own sound. Not only that, the elements they incorporate from those bands and do it really well themselves. So check it out, share it, and enjoy.

Declive

Band submission. Declive are a band from Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico that formed this year (2013). They've got elements of punk, melodic hardcore, emo, and alternative rock in their music, and could be compared to bands such as Title Fight, Basement, and Daylight. They've got great energy, and add the perfect amount of gruff edge to their melodic sound. Definitely get into this if you like the aforementioned bands, you won't be disappointed. I really enjoyed the entirety of this, and am looking forward to what else this band has to offer. Check out their EP for free on their Bandcamp. Enjoy.
