They're a really good band from Texas that sounds sort of like Die, Emperor! Die!. I'm not really sure if they tour outside their state, but I'd love to see them. Our Great Cities and Ruined Tongues are some songs that you might like. Last I heard they were around age 16/17. I have the lead singers SN on AIM through an interview, but he hasn't responded to my IMs.

Anyone know more about them?

ugh. I only ever liked one or two songs by them. I probably don't anymore. They're just so cheesy and trying too hard.

I'm listening to "Our Great Cities" right now. I love it.

I like that they took their time starting the vocals.
Personally, I think the background could be a little bit less repetitive, but maybe it's just the style.

I'll definitely look into it.
