Early in my life (before rising tide records changed everything) i used to listen to bad music. one of the first bands that changed that was the blood brothers and shortly after that jiyuna and the a4 and the rest of the local amazing music scene my town had. but regardless of that one of the first cds i ever got after first getting into screamo was Circle Takes the Square - s/t demo. While the quality of the tracks is not as good as their full length lp "as the roots undo" i still in many ways enjoy their first release alot more. its got more of a raw feel to it, their voices crack, their levels are off, from one track to the next but in that imperfection there is a beauty. I cant begin to imagine the amount of times i would go from listening to a quiet mixed song and have my speakers to the max then the next track be at full blast and nearly blow my ears out. So many good times listening to this demo, too many good times to even begin to explain. If that doesnt sell it, yes they were amazing live at fest last year. Circle Takes the Square is chaos, beauty, and emotion pure and driven.
