The Sky Corvair

The Sky Corvair were a post-hardcore/emo band from Chicago, Illinois that began in 1994 and broke up in 1995, though briefly reformed in 1997. Their discography was compiled and released as a single album in 2001. Though the band is relatively unknown, their members were in some other very notable bands. Their vocalist was Tim Kinsella, who joined The Sky Corvair as a side-project of Cap'n Jazz. He's also known for Joan Of Arc, Owls, Make Believe, you know the bands. Another major member was Bob Nanna, better known as being a member of Braid, as well as Hey Mercedes and The City On Film. Kevin J. Frank and Neil Sandler played in Gauge before this band, and formed Haymarket Riot and Rollo Tomasi respectively after The Sky Corvair ended. There may have been other members, at least a different singer on the last three songs, but I'm not entirely sure because info on them is both scarce and inconsistent. Either way, we've got this album below, which is a great mix of Kinsella's distinct vocals with the intricate instrumentation and off-kilter rhythms that one would expect from the rest of the band. It nicely balances experimentation with musicality, and makes for both a good album and an interesting document in the members' long musical histories. Enjoy.

Weekend Nachos

Weekend Nachos are a four-piece hardcore/powerviolence band from Chiacgo, Illinois that formed in 2004. They've been killing it since then, knocking out solid album after solid album. Their earlier material definitely shows off their powerviolence side (especially the Infest influence), with songs averaging 30 seconds long, discernible blast beats, buzzing guitars, and break-neck vocals. Although those elements are definitely still there in their more recent material, the hardcore influence and attitude seeps through a lot more. Regardless, these guys keep one thing going for them, and that's how fucking heavy they are. They play with the kind of vigor that makes you want to flail and break things. And that is a very good thing. Thanks to Jacob Shumaker for helping out with this post, and enjoy.
