Amnesia Amnesia, another one of the mindless Belleville drone bands following this fading "hardcore" fad? or maybe something a little more? I know on the surface these songs sound contrived and fleeting, but the emotion behind at the very least the Lyrics is legit. I can say that for sure.
Being a personal friend of some of these guys I would like to offer some advice, range your influences, and cut some of the longer breakdowns a little shorter. Especially the first few songs are supposed to grab attention, not bore people with the same break down and riffs for what seems like days (somehow you managed to do this in little over 2 and 3 minutes).
Well, enough scathing, these boys put a lot of work into this E.P. and into their live show, so i will knock them no more. It's not my kind of music, but some of it has a pretty good groove.

The Falling Service - Spirit of the Dead Watching E.P.
This C.D. came at a time in our local music scene when music had taken a back seat to aesthetic for all but a few bands. So when this band hit the "scene" it was a beautiful breath of fresh air.
The Falling Service was heavily D.C. influenced emotional punk, they had a live set that was both cathartic and hysterical. Equal parts fall all over yourself and break shit, and just enough sense to know when to restrain and pluck their strings perfectly softly.

They came from the ashes of a "Lo-Fi Horror Muzac" band by the name of Phelix (who i will post in another episode).
Went on to form Amnesia Amnesia - Chug Chug Hardcore.

My first post.
My mission is too bring you some of the music that surrounds me on a day to day basis, with reviews and my thoughts about it. I will post links to listen to the songs, and possibly download.
I am doing this because i feel there is a lot of music made and released around me that should be shared.
As well, this is a way for me to just get across my thoughts on music. For me, and anyone who feels like reading. I hope you enjoy.
