Yossarian is Drowning
 

The UK scene 9/10 times just really doesn't do it for me but this band is bad ass. They released their 7" on Forever Escaping Boredom, one of my favorite labels. It's cool because their accents bleed through so thick on spoken word part. The instrumental is beyond solid. Infectious rhthym guitar with catchy lead lines that are dulled down and I just have a soft spot for their bass.

Any links swim?

I'd be pleasantly surprised if you liked but just your interest is enough to make me happy


I can up their 7" and ST-CDR.

I actually thought this was posted in the Indie forum...I should pay more attention.
Your right...it's not my thing, but interesting all the same.

The accents...it says the band are UK, but I swear one of the guys speaking is Irish.

why do you have the maryland flag as yr avatar?

i think their vocals sound funny

I use to live in Harford County along with most of my extended. Plus I've just always liked it.

:( maryland sucks but I don't have the money to leave it. Baltimore here I come!

I live in Baltimore! We should all go to a maryland show =). L'Antietam is playing at some weird place this summer, I am going to try my hardest to go to that.

maryland is good if you live in white marsh lol

<3

I think you might like these guys because they don't sound brittish. Without the accents, I'd have thought they were just another [genre] band out of the Foreign Legion/small town bar scene.

I don't know, their not me either. I don't really get the point of singing like that.

Screaming is just another medium of expression.

the thick british accents sound very... thick.

I thought that was pretty awesome. The accents give it another layer.

/agreed.

I just don't know if it adds anything

For me it does. The guitar parts are pretty clear leaving the vocals to be abrasive. Clean vocals and it's a completely different texture. I don't consider them a screamo band so take away the shouts and it kind of has the feel of mid-90s band. Also I think that Emo is meant to be live music and while on record it doesn't really make for too much difference. I think screams can immensely add to a show. plus it's just fun EUROPA EUROPA EUROPA

I kind of hate that this is the band you choose you to give a listen to in this in this forum because there are others much better and some things are only understood with understanding what comes before.

Send me a PM and suggest others.

Some of these kids went on to be a band called Jupiter Lander and honestly this music is regressive but not in the just another screamo band sense. Their 7" could've been put out 10 years ago and I'm not sure anyone would've known the difference. It's nice music and that's all I can seem to be arsed with.
