A Day In Black And White

A Day In Black And White were a four-piece screamo/post-hardcore band from Washington, DC that were around from 2001 to 2005. They were fairly prolific in that time, with two albums released on Level Plane Records in addition to quite a few splits. Earlier on in their few short years, they are often regarding as a screamo band in line with bands like City Of Caterpillar and Funeral Diner, with drawn-out rises and falls throughout each song, mixing the discordant with the blissful and impactful. There was a noticeable shift in sound as the band experimented with a litany of different influences over the years that by the time their second album came out only a year later, they had progressed to the energetic, moodier and more plainly sung sounds of alternative rock, drawing comparisons to bands like Sonic Youth and Unwound. They're an intriguing band with a wide variety to offer, but its best to start with My Heroes Have Always Killed Cowboys and Notes, though the Black Castle split is right up there as well. Enjoy.
