Bishi: Never Seen Your Face Single
First single from Bishi's forthcoming album Nnights at the Circus (review coming soon). Note that if you play "The Three Ravens" from the 7" at the wrong speed (33 rpm), Bishi sounds identical to Antony from Antony & The Johnsons!

Beirut: The Flying Club Cup
Beirut brings forth a bigger, more romantic, and more ambitious approach than Gulag Orkestar. The new record is notably epic and dramatic, the sound is grand and it gives the effect of an overall communal feeling. Zach Condon’s immeasurable vision has made The Flying Club Cup a musical spectacle!

i've strangled necks of ages with the fabric of new words

There is really no point to write a brand new review for the upcoming A Wilhelm Scream record, Career Suicide, since my opinion for it is pretty much the same as Ruiner (and because I am lazy). Career Suicide is again another incredible punk rock/post hardcore album full of unforgettable guitar riffs, lightning fast rhythms, and aggrieve vocals. What I forgot to mention in the previous post is that A Wilhelm Scream have the magic ability to create insanely catchy and perfectly timed hooks. In short, Career Suicide will surprise listeners with endless memorable melodies and it is by far, the year’s best punk record.

god loves a liar

This weekend consisted of nothing but watching NHL playoffs (Go Habs Go) and studying for my Popular Music in North America exam... which for the past week, I thought is on Tuesday, but it is actually tomorrow!! ...and yes, I am taking a course in university called Popular Music in North America, and I may be able to used "Fuck The Police" by NWA as an answer for the final exam, how cool is that! Anyways, looking at the front page of this blog, I noticed that there is nothing but Patrick Wolf, Final Fantasy, and Feist posts. I think I have shown enough affection for those artists; as a result, I am going to try to feature different musicians for at least the next few posts. So, I am here to introduce A Wilhelm Scream – a punk rock/post-hardcore band that I have been listening to nonstop this past month and a half. I currently have two releases by A Wilhelm Scream: Mute Print and Ruiner. Both are great records, but in my opinion, Ruiner is far greater! Ruiner features memorable guitar riffs: catchy, but not poppy in a sense that it will make you get tire of the album after five listens; as well, it has lightning fast rhythms along with aggressive vocals. Seriously, I cannot put this album down. This is the closest to good old punk rock without being too poppy, not that there is anything wrong with pop punk (well, some pop punk). Please, if you like fast post-hardcore punk rock music, you absolutely have to check out A Wilhelm Scream. They are playing tomorrow night at The Opera House with Protest the Hero and Bayside!
