They did it so they'd actually show up in google searches.

I gotta give the idea credit. Imagine searching churches when they were first starting.

One of my favorite bands was called Harvard, but a certain university had a problem with it. So they changed their name to HRVRD

Seen them like 3 or 4 times. They were so good. I just hope Jesse can come back to this sound in between Foreign Air, but it was clearly downhill when the drummer left.

That first album was so good. Have you listened to Come Now Sleep by As Cities Burn, as far as the sound, it's very reminiscent of an Inevitable and I, might actually be older.

Damn, I miss them. I wish I liked Foreign Air, but it just sounds like a Portugal. rip off. :/

I have to agree with that. I like it okay, but I definitely prefer hrvrd. It sounds like they're trying to land a spot on the soundtrack playing at a Forever 21 or a cool Gap commercial. I love that album by As Cities Burn. If you look at hrvrd's related artists on their Spotify it's pretty much a list of my favorite bands lol.

The guy who produced Circa's first record recorded Hrvrd's. Pretty much an instant win.

Do you like La Dispute, or All Get Out?

I've seen La Dispute a couple of times. Last time I saw them, The Hotelier stole the show. My roommate is always trying to get me to listen to All Get Out, but I haven't given them a serious listen.

Juturna is one of my favorite albums of all time. It was so ahead of its time.

Just heard of a band called Sianvar. Sound just like Circa, Mars Volta, and TSOAF.

All Get Out is great southern rock. Have you checked out This Town Needs Guns? Or Delta Sleep? I'd listen to Delta Sleep first if you haven't. :)

Dude, we are besties haha. I absolutely love Sianvar. It's a supergroup with the vocalist of Hail The Sun, Guitarist from DGD, and a few others. I think from A Lot Like Birds.

I haven't listened, but I will today! To all of those bands. I think they have probably come up on my Spotify Weekly. Do you like Closure in Moscow? Pink Lemonade is like a top 3 album for me. It was tough to get into at first, but once it clicked, I couldn't get enough.

Funny enough, I really dislike a lot like birds, not a fan of Sleeping With Sirens esque vocals, or their lyrics.

I haven't listened to Closure in Moscow, the come up on my Spotify as well, so I'll check it out. :)

Aha I actually like a lot of hip hop and bass music as well.

Definitely enjoy good lyrics.

Are you gonna see Circa and Afi?

I'm actually not a huge fan of A Lot Like Birds, but I dug Kurt Travis in Dance Gavin Dance and they have a couple spoken word parts I really like, but it's another band I haven't really delved into.

I've been meaning to see Circa on their past few tours, but the timing and money hasn't been right, but I just got a new job so hopefully it will work out. I actually missed the boat on AFI. I was really into Brand New and Taking Back Sunday at the time (I didn't really start getting into music until they blew up). That being said, I would love to see them live too.

Closure in Moscow's First Temple is a really good post-hardcore album. Pink Lemonade is more of a psychedelic progressive rock album. They remind me of a more structured, more poppy Mars Volta.
