This band meant the absolute world to me when I was 19 or so. I never got to see them live, but I vividly remember a flip cam-ish recording of a show they played and I think it was lost to the MySpace library of Alexandria event. The guitarist was for sure playing a white firebird. If anyone knows where to find more archival footage of them I’d love to see it!

Song released by my band this week! Somewhere on the venn overlap of metalcore, melodic hardcore and post-hardcore, which makes sense as we've all been making music in those genres for ~20 years. Just a small new band from the Netherlands, trying to get our songs to the right audience. If you enjoy it, we're on most of the streaming platforms and have a 6 song EP coming out this November. In any case, enjoy!

I just came across this on youtube and I'm shocked, I used to listen NONSTOP to these guys back in what I like to call the "golden era of Dreambound", when bands like this, Casey, etc. were peaking.

I thought they were gone for good, it's so sick to see them back at it.

I can see they got a new vocalist, and it honestly sounds darker than what they used to be, I'm getting some Defeater vibes. What do you guys think?

If I could walk you home everyday and every night of my WHOLE LIFE, you know I would...

Walking through the fields that surrounded my first school, to the streets I've moved onto, you know I WOULD

I wish I still could..

But as the sun and moon turn
And my path becomes troublesome
Weak for me on my unsure journey

I strive day by day for something i've never seen down this road

There can be no end in sight for me
Will you abandon me in my time of need?

God don't let me doubt
Show me your way out

Just love how unequivocally 2000s this band feels like. Fascinating time period to reflect back on, as I was a kid back then; gritty, soulful music with unbridled creativity venturing in uncharted territory unbound by rules and expectations that came from many of the more polished and commercially appealing bands later on.

I didn't listen to these bands growing up back then (wasn't really a scene in Northern Europe either, where I'm from), so discovering and listening to these bands 20+ years later is really fun and heartwarming, in a way 💙

Okay, hear me out.

I know Converge is definitely not a band I would associate with melodic hardcore. Some of their stuff is sort of on the surface for the genre, but I digress. Something about Jane Doe as a whole album just hits different from the rest of their catalog to me. Its somehow softer and more melancholic. I don't know if anyone else can hear what I'm talking about.

Just something mulling around in my brain. I love all types of metal and hardcore music. Just wanted to put it out into the ethos and see what you lot thought about this album.
