totally agree about sailboats. behind trees is a solid tune, but outside of that, its nothing to **** your pants about. loma prieta's new cd certainly is though. it has to be one of my favorite screamo releases out there.

also, what is with all these screamo bands? they tour europe more than they tour the states, which is absolutely ludicrous. hey loma prieta, the us beats the pants off krautland anyday. seriously. its like "hey, lets never play michigan, but go play shows in switzerland."
I always wonder how the hell they fund those tours. Its hard enough getting money together for a US tour, let alone a European tour. Not only are you flying across seas with equipment and a half ton of other ****, but then there's van rentals and all that jazz. No wonder screamo bands have such short lives, they're too busy uppin' the punx to pay bills.
