Notongue

I've been sorting my life a bit which is a pain. I had finished college past August and now I am just waiting to get something in the mail which will be the ceremony for graduation date. Now that I will be getting my AA in general studies I am pretty happy to say for the least part that I walked down a path that was dream like. Now that I got school stuff out of the way I have been thinking of maybe moving to Arizona, Yuma sometime in a year or so and get away from the big city. Enough with life, Notongue (Also known as tongue was a short lived band from the bay between 2012-2013. It shared members of Calculator and Matsuri. The band released a 4 song tape and a 7" called Body+mind. I saw them once during the growing up is dumb vol. 1 fest next with other bands such as Calculator, La bella and Adventures that night. I talked to the vocalist about the 7" that night. He didn't give me a exact date but said sometime next month or so will the 7" be released. That night I believe they played about most of their songs. Dwanta was the most noticeable and the best experience to listen to live. I remember the crowd began dancing than moshing. Even I got in the groove and began to dance. It would definitely be one of the best shows I have seen. Notongue resembles similar to both previous bands I mentioned. I think the tape sounds more Matsuri influenced though. I was able to snag a copy. Shawn Decker of middle man records should be selling these still for at least 3 dollars. The 7" comes with a zine (Or at least mine did) Both the cassette and 7" were under Kyeo speaks (A label that was run by Mark from Moldar/Summer vacation/Winter break/Ten thousand leagues/Heritage unit) 400 copies of this record was made, 300 of them were as a normal press while 100 were promo's I am not sure about the difference between the 2. This is some pretty fucking good shit that just amazes me on how kinda pissed off I am because only 2 short releases were made.

Body+mind 7"

Calculator

Here is another band I saw for the last time in January 2015 was it? or 2016? Sophie, La bella and Ten thousand leagues. While speaking of the show. Sophie was a band similar to Calculator. I think this show was their debut or one of the first ones but to conclude the band ended. They released a 3 song self titled EP on cassette. They did have more songs though, I at least heard about 2-3 others. Calculator was a band I had mix feelings when I heard them on the split CD they made with Moldar when I was 16 (Posted this split CD on Moldar's post). While I loved Moldar Calculator in the other hand wasn't so good. It wasn't until they compiled all of their songs into one LP called These roots grow deep which included the bands debut EP, the split songs with Moldar and even had other songs that were intended to be on a split with another great band during its time called John Cota. I ended up buying this record once it was reissued in 2013 since I didn't buy the first press when it came out. I have to say after a while I did not hear much about this band since their last release with Moldar in 2009. Sometime in 2011 this band came out with a new 7" called New forms. The band did a lot of shows during that time. As for 2012 I feel blank since I don't remember how active they were. But then they revealed a LP coming out. During GUID fest they played almost every new song from their new LP "This will come to pass" it was probably some of the best songs calculator made, the band matured and sounded more heavy like. I was pretty tired 10 minutes after their set due to La bella and Notongue getting me exhausted. I remember I felt like fainting and I was in the middle of everyone pushing each other. I am amazed I didnt collapse. By the end of the show my show buddy Eduardo had a lot of water and we both just chugged that big ass bottle. On the ride back home I looked out to the window and kept thinking to myself "This fucking record is going to make me scream" After a year the band was featured in a great split between other great bands like Itto, Innards and capacities. Something happened between the label and the band and told a few people not to buy it. I was pretty close to get myself one of these since I love Innards and Calculator but the songs on their split were a bit of a miss and not so memorable. Those songs from calc ended up on a 3 way split CD with some bands outside of the US. I did not know of this until their breakup. After some months the band did one of the final shows. One was in Oakland or something and the day before it was at Bridgetown at La puente. Members ended up splitting between the bands Crush, Ten thousand leagues and Never young. I was lucky to pick up their final 7" from that show but I do regret not getting their long sleeve shirt. They made a discography CD called "Everything" reason I did not get this is because the case/sleeve is paper and that seems too fragile for me. Calculator earned its way to my heart even though I used to kinda make fun of Jeff's screaming style during These roots but eventually it made me nod.

Littlebunnyrabbit

It's raining heavily outside and well I'm stuck here with nothing better to do. Some areas are flooded nearby. A while back I was looking at my CD's and I forgot I have about 4 copies of this one. For those who are not familiar with Littlebunnyrabbit, this was a hardcore/screamo band from Los Angeles that existed roughly in 2011. They released a 7 song demo cd. These were given out for free at radical friends records. When I had my own label at that time I also used these CD's which I happen to also give around. Only 4 survived and I still have them in top shape. The band has a facebook page but that's already deleted. They had plans for a 7" record but the band shortly disappear after this demo and a couple of shows. They didn't even have a actual final show to my knowledge. Theis demo is quiet forgotten but I am lucky to still have the mp3's I ripped from the CD. It's some pretty solid screamo you all have to really listen to. This stuff is similar to of Orchid/Tipping canoe/Reversal of man/etc. The CD sleeve is made of recycled sleeves which is neat. Everything else is like spray painted. The insert is a paper with the lyrics and little bit of info. It is quiet standard for a demo cd. I have no idea if members went on to form other bands since they disbanded out of the blue.

Future funk tunes: Aritus/Lola Disco

So I am just here with my dog and I was listening to some future funk from my laptop. Thought it be a good idea to add some future funk stuff here again. I felt like adding 2 artists for todays and final post of the month. Don't worry I won't do this often. I know many of you come here for the emo stuff but I really just want to hook you guys up with some mp3's I have on this.

Aritus has done some catchy stuff, pretty great collaborations I have seen. He has done a EP called Walkingman, a split EP tape with Fibre, a bunch of singles and has recently done a compilation. As usual the singles and the comp track are probably the best. One of the more noticeable tracks are Veii, Spirit, Don't want cha and Fives.

Virtues EP

Next up we have Lola Disco, this is probably one of the best stuff with a new single that is up (Totally not paying 2 bucks for a mp3 track) I did gathered some of the few finest tunes. Among the list "Everyday" made is on the file. Definitely one of my favorites from 2016. The file is much shorter since there is like less than 6 songs so it shouldnt be so bad checking this one out.

I hate myself

I kinda had a shit day and I don't know how else to take my mind off it. So I'm back here for a new post and well, to keep myself busy this Saturday night. I remember posting this but it must have been deleted somehow? I swear I remember posting this. This band was active in the late 90's in Florida and had few releases with no actual titles. Last year 10 songs (11 songs) was pressed on wax and I got the chance to get me a copy. 11 songs was only on CD until now. I mostly jam between 4 songs, the split with twelve hour turn and 2 songs. 11 songs is good but I find 2 and 4 songs more interesting. I ran into this band in 2008 when a friend of mine burned a cd for me that had a few songs from them. Over the years the band has got some attention. Supposedly the band was going to release a album under "15 songs" it never happened. They did do a posthumous release called "3 songs" it didn't get much attention from me. I hate myself is the kind of band you listen to to beat yourself up for feeling some guilt of something wrong you did. I always found them to be that way. There has been multiple pressings for these records. I do like to see a collection of the 4 songs, the 3 songs from the split and 2 songs as a CD compilation one day.

Radio to Saturn

To make up for it since I was gone for a while here is a second post for the day. This was a short lived indie rock band I picked up this record from Rocket science records. Seems like there are no more copies of these. The band was active enough to pull this amazing 7" under a label of theirs or something (Only this record was made by the label) the 7" has glitter so I try not to fuck with it. The sleeves are paper and really well crafted. I admire the work of the looks on this 7". The band also made a split 7". The songs off their are more lo fi. The band happened to have also put a LP that was never released. They made a bandcamp so I happen to just share that than the record itself. Has all the few releases they made. I did uploaded video just in case you want to give this a quick listen

Monarcs

I am back with another post. I have been feeling slow lately. Been craving those buffalo fries from the buffalo stop (Local food with buffalo boneless pieces on the fries with some amazing sauce all over it) well, Monarcs was a hardcore/math rock band from Florida that were active in the mid 2000's. The band later evolved to Capsule (Which are fucking amazing as tits) after Monarcs and Capsule some members went on to form Guillemet and another band called New grass. Monarcs released a 4 song EP called Apocalyptic Bebop (It's so fucking amazing) they also released a split 7" with Osceola, a split 10" with Thank god and gathered early demos that were compiled in a CD called "Early recordings". We really need more bands like these today. The CD looks legit, I noticed a slight difference of the quality on the songs and it came to my attention that the EP was recorded in two different sessions. The split 7" with Osceola the 7" is pretty plain and simple. It is also one of the few releases from Osceola as well that was on wax.

Straight, no chaser

I have little info on this band. I discovered them when I got this record for free that came with another record I had purchased. I heard it and loved it. I tried finding more about them and came across a LP of theirs from 2006 I also bought. Soon after someone sent me this bands entire discography. The tracks have no titles but the first 6 songs are from the LP and the final song is the entire 7" in one single track. The rest... I don't know what releases they were in but the band seemed to have made more than just a 7" and 12". The band is like Monarcs/Capsule math rock/hardcore type. Intense.. Fast.. Mathy. They began in 2005, I finally know that the band released more than just that. They had a 2005 demo, a six song self titled CD and I think the self titled LP is the same as the self titled CD since its 6 songs. There was a 3 song 3rd self titled CD. A tour demo and some unreleased songs. All this stuff was deleted off mediafire but luckily some dude sent me these songs. I would have posted the 6 songs off the LP and the 4 songs from the 7" but not the rest. Honestly the dudes who pull off the riffs in this band are fucking good. I think the band is from New York. The band might have disbanded in 2010 or somewhere around there.

Discography

Stop it!!!

This blogspot has been active since January of 2015, my first post was on Ghost towns next to Lautrec since they both shared a split record. Times gone steady overall. I've been so far with this blogspot its kinda of a hobby/accomplishment for me to be the bigger kid showing the stuff. When I was a kid I loved checking out some blogspots and reading/gathering info, listening to bands and overall fascinated with the stuff being thrown at me as a free download. Especially when it came down to personal records from people. This band reminds me a little of Kidcrash and Matsuri. The band is from Virginia that began in 2002 with a Demo, the demo was pressed on CD and 10" vinyl from 2 separate labels, one being UK label Life in a box that did the 10" and another called Waking records that did the CD. The following year the band released their debut and only full length called Self made maps which I happen to have the CD format. This was pressed multiple time on vinyl between 2 different labels which are Robotic empire and The perpetual motion machine. They came out in 4 different compilations between 2003 and 2004. They were in another compilation in 2006 as well so perhaps the band might have been active in 2006? I think the demo is where the super good Matsuri-esque is at.

Future funk

By having one person asking me to do this I can't refuse, this specific tag will focus only on my guilty pleasure of future funk tunes. Now that it's 2017, times changed. Do not worry tough I will still post so many emo posts for this year. So what is future funk? Basically a more samples borrowed from 80s music with loops and a hint of french house vibe. I do not know how this emerged from the terrible trend of vaporwave. Some of this stuff isn't even downloadable but I do happen to have a extension that downloads any soundcloud track. Story goes, I began listening to future funk sometime in early December of 2015. Easily loved it and I quickly headed towards the direction of some of my favorite artists. One of the first artists I got into was Desired.

Somehow I was thrown to Supersex420's compilation song "Lovelikenow" along with some other songs such as "Sasha grey" and "Da booty brigade". THis easily got me more interested with the scene. I ended up making a soundcloud for this reason only. Unfortunately for the scene. A lot of these artists end up on some vaporwave label that sells tapes for 9-10 dollars all because many believe running a non profit label is like a job where you're suppose to make money. It's a real shame.




As my first segment I want to bring these 2 artists for now (Even though I have brought up ConsciousThoughts cassette on here) for anyone interested in this genre feel free to listen to something a little new and fresh. For the first time ever, I don't recommend anyone supporting these labels that are scamming people. It is preferred for you to download this and burn cd's or make tapes of your own. As for Desired, I think the guy got much better during his later singles off soundcloud which I uploaded some of the best ones that are not Japanese disco (Can't stand that, sounds weird) Lovestory is okay but I would totally for for the singles file first.

Supersex420 had disappeared for a while, recently the dude came out in a compilation not to long ago called Future society II (I will likely post the whole thing up) Some future funk artists has their flair which you can tell who is who, 420 has its own flair. I basically bunched up all the good songs in one file.
