My Lai - Learn... Forget... Relearn + Pony Soldier EP

Ah, one month later and I post again... It's a miracle! I'll try to keep the posting less sporadic...

Here today, we have a great specimen... My Lai, are a Chicago band named after a civilian massacre committed by the US Army during the Vietnam War. (RIP) They were active from 96-99, and played frantic, spastic, emotional hardcore; sometimes known as emo-violence. These dudes didn't release much as far as I know, (I think they released one picture disc other than the LP&EP I'm posting here) and they seem to be relatively unknown, compared to some of their contemporaries (Usurp Synapse, Orchid, As The Sun Sets)... Anyways, to me they sound like a good mix of HeWhoCorrupts or KungFuRick (the HWC incarnation of the late 90's), Orchid, and early Daughters... Lots of brutalisms countered by bits of calm, then off to more pummeling mathy riffage and some blasterbation...

I think you guys will really like this stuff...

Also, for those of you asking me to update more often; don't worry. I just got a new stylus for my record player and over the last couple months I've been buying discs like crazy... I'll definitely be uploading a bunch in the coming days and weeks... Look forward to some stuff from: Creation is Crucifixion, Bastardass/Say Why, Usurp Synapse/Index for Potential Suicide, Combatwoundedveteran/Orchid, a 4way split with Brodys Militia and others...

DAITRO

Ok so this band is pretty fucking emo. But god damn it; I love this shit. It's actually some of the best screamo I've ever heard, and I think a lot of screamo fans will agree. Anyways, Daitro is from France and they started in 2002. These guys kind of sway back and forth from chaotic discord to some post-rock type melodic stuff. The vocalist is great, lots of passion, you can really tell these guys enjoy what they are doing. Well here's their second full length called "Laissez Vivre Les Squelettes". They also have a split with Ampere and a split with Raien which contains my favorite Daitro song ever , "A Chaque Fois". If you look over in my "Music Blogs" section you should be able to get some more Daitro material from "Fly Guy Die Dance." Hope you enjoy it!
