Allegory of the Cave - Discography

Allegory of the Cave is a screamo duo from Orlando Florida, and two of the nicest friends i have. Tanner plays drums with a smile on his face their entire set and rips it like no other and Rumie plays guitar like a bat out of hell and still manages to put his heart into every scream and guitar note. I played a show with these fine gentlmen after they transitioned their style and band name to Cheer Up! but they did play a few old songs for me and my friends, it was perfect in everyway. These guys have heart like no other and all their songs show it. Their discography includes their self titled demo, their split 7 inch, and their track off emo apocolypse comp which is actually where i got the name of this blog. I love these dudes and i love their music.

Consular - Don't Cross The Swine

To what seems a life time ago me and my girlfriend and best friends at the time loaded into a van and drove across the state for what we expected to be a nearly perfect show, Tunes for Bears was doing a reunion show in Miami and there was no fucking way we were going to miss it. Piled in we crossed the state in what seemed like a blur of chaos and laughter. Pulling into a quiet slightly run down neighborhood we werent sure if we were at the right place, but soon we would be having the times of our lives. After a few bands i didnt really care too much for a band set up and began to play some of the heavest music i had ever heard (this shit made flowers in the attic look calm if that says anything) i was blow away and loving every song. Thats the first time i heard Consular and goddamn was i glad to, heavy ass guitar mixed with gut renching vocals and sickk drum parts, i was fucking sold for the first breakdown to the last yelp. Even though this was the first show that had the Cowboys Became Folk Heros disography was being released i still had to have everything with the name Consular written on it and i was not dissapointed. This is their first cd release and full length lp, fucking rip this shit up and play it as loud as you can. anytime i am having a bad day and i just dont know what the fuck to do with myself i put this in and... fuck i feel so much better, pumped and ready to destroy something, but better. (the art work is from the LP not the cd, sorry i couldnt find a photo of size)

Circle Takes the Square - s/t Demo

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.

On the Might of Princes - Where You Are and Where You Want to Be

On the Might of Princes owns it. There is nothing more i can say about that. I missed both reunion shows (add to the list of bands i missed out on: kodan armanda, pg.99, and iwouldsetmyselfonfireforyou) but i still do greatly enjoy them. This albulm has the song "for meg" which might be one of the best songs ever written in my opinion. Jam this shit!

BarkBarkBark - Worst Dotted Line

The solo project turned full band turned dating duo turned solo project (again) BarkBarkBark is one of those bands ive been on and off in love with for years. I first heard about this band from a link on my friends bands page (pre-myspace OHMYGEE) and greatly enjoyed their light pop-ie electronic sound and over all feel. This is their first official release and something ive enjoyed for many years. Oh and yes they are named after the dog that jumps over the hill in duckhunt, clever i know. (sorry this albulm art looks like shit i could only find a small jpg saved from like 3 years ago)
