Brava Spectre are a noise rock band from CT. They've been called be-bop metal. I like that, but not sure what it means. (Reads wikipedia article on be-bop), ok that makes sense. Drummer Mega Steve is also in a band with a really long name. This is their hour long full length.

Ganger - Canopy
Late 90's instrumental rock from Glasgow, Scotland. Members went on to form Aereogramme. Solid 5 song EP on Merge Records.Monday, October 3, 2011
Threadbare - Feeling Older Faster
Crushing 90's post-hardcore from Minneapolis. There are emo vibes, there are metal vibes, there is a dude who went on to be in Snapcase. I think I might like this too much.
The Living City - Demo
2011's best demo. 3 thick emo jams. From MA with Members of Vaccine and L'Antietam. Reminds me of Elliot sometimes but that isn't very accurate.Saturday, July 2, 2011
The Minus Tide - The Rock Autopsy Has Begun
Debut EP released in 2002. WV based "sci-fi metal" sounding something like Converge meets Iron Maiden. I think I saw this band nearly 30 times while in high-school. Formed after the break up of Killed at Camp and Horns to the Matador.Thursday, May 12, 2011
Harriet The Spy & Three Studies for a Crucifixtion - Split
Released in '97 on Donut Friends. Harriet The Spy play an interesting blend of dissonant emo / post punk with nods to Fugazi. Three Studies for a Crucifixtion play wild noisy experimental emo/hardcore. Both bands were from Ohio. HTS shared a member with Party of Helicopters (arguably the best band ever). This 7" is now at the very top of my non-existant "want" list. Also, the song title "This Music Festival Sucks" is the best song title.

Sometree - Clever, Clever Where is Your Heart
Thick as fuck emo with 90's vibes from Denmark. Dude's got a really cool voice too. I've found little info on the release of this album other than the ID tags claiming it came out in 1998. Below is a video for a song not on Clever, Clever...Sore Eyelids - S/T
Reverb drenched croony swing-beat post-punk-ish emo from Sweden featuring members of Suis La Lune. Released in 2009.Saturday, April 23, 2011
The Softies - It's Love
The Softies, a Northern California-based all-female pop band featuring members of Go Sailor and Tiger Trap, play refreshing pop songs without drums or bass, just two electric guitars. This isn't your typical tepid singer-songwriter fare though, the songs are smart and well-crafted and the lead guitar is really fucking cool.
