Twin Peaks Band Rar Zip
Clay Frankel strolled out onstage with pink heart-shaped glasses and a brown, un-buttoned flannel over a white t-shirt. He pulled back his shirt to reveal a Sharpie-d design for “Ithaca!! Beach!!!” complete with a palm tree.
The shirt said the year was 2043, and Frankel ran with it.“Ithaca Beach 2043, tonight’s the night!” he said. While the band didn’t say much else on stage, Frankel paused between songs to follow on the nonsensical joke with quips like “thanks so much for having us at your fisherman’s wharf,” and “who’s going swimming later?”. The crowd loved it, too. One girl yelled from the audience “what year is it?” and Frankel said, “It’s 2043 Ithaca beach, that’s what time it is.”The Twin Peaks and Post Animal show on May 2 at The Haunt was the type of show where personal space comes absolutely second to thrashing around wildly and having a good time. The bands, both rising out of the Chicago DIY scene, stopped in Ithaca and got the Central New York crowd head banging and moshing.Chicago has seen the proliferation of indie music in recent years. Other rising-star top picks from Chi-city include Ratboys, Smith Westerns – guitarist Caiden Lake James’ brother was in that band – and Beach Bunny.The Ithaca Beach gimmick seems to be a theme of the Twin Peaks tour. When advertising the “Ringin’ In The Spring,” they, “Come change the seasons with us, & shake off the blues from that long winter.” They, as well.Post Animal brought warm vibes with them as they played their deep, pounding psychedelic rock.
The band has toured with Twin Peaks before. They’ve worked over the past year to make a name from themselves outside of the Joe Keery, a former bandmate, plays Steve Harrington in the show, and has since left to pursue his acting career. “Stranger Things” fan-hype wasn’t a noticeable aspect of the night, especially when two mosh pits formed in front of the stage during some of the band’s deeper thrashes. They bounced from high energy riffs to blazed-out slow grooves.It did take a while for the crowd to get to that point, though. The first three songs, including “Ralphie,” a bright single from their 2018 album “When I Think of You in a Castle,” didn’t get much out of the crowd except some gentle, polite dancing.“Do you guys dance in this town of Ithaca, New York? This would be the one right now,” they said before “Ralphie.”Twin Peaks definitely got a lot of dancing, especially when they brought back songs from their first album, “Sunken,” released in 2013.
They played “Stand in the Sand” and “Boomers,” both which firmly sit in the garage area of their personal sound, which incorporates elements from many of rock’s subgenres.The band members have been playing together for nearly 10 years, and dropped out of college to pursue music. Before their first tour, they cut “Sunken” in guitarist Caiden Lake James’ basement using “a crappy iMac from 2004, a broken digital mixer, and a digital recording studio from the ‘90s,” James told.
The acoustics and below-average recording equipment bring the record a certain kind of charm that the band has expanded upon with three studio albums and two live albums. They “Sunken” track “Natural Villan” to coincide with the release of their collab beer of the same with Chicago fallen craft beer hero, Goose Island, whose sale to Anheuser-Busch in 2011 shook the beer world to its core.
Twin Peaks is an American indie-rock band from Chicago, Illinois.The band was formed in 2010 and consists of Cadien Lake James (vocals, guitar), Clay Frankel (vocals, guitar), Jack Dolan (vocals, bass), Colin Croom (keys, vocals, guitar), and Connor Brodner (drums).
The 2019 version brings a more professional, mature feel – not unlike the band’s own path through young adulthood.They also played some new songs, each with the band’s signature far-out vocals, bright and distant guitar, and high energy vibes. Each of the bandmates sang lead vocals on songs, defying the frontman trope. James’ eyes rolled in the back of his head as he played guitar, shaking his head left to right. Frankel thrashed around on stage during the grooves of “In The Meadow.”They came back out for an encore and brought energy for one more song. Then, they dropped their guitars on the ground, still clanging out cacophonous chords. View Comments.
Letters To Catalonia are a three-piece screamo band from Los Angeles, California that began in 2015. Sonically, they can be loosely compared to bands like Neil Perry or Loma Prieta, but with a more hardcore edge to them. Their output is fairly short, with only a demo and split fully released. In 2017, they release a three-track teaser titled f ragmentary, which included songs meant for an LP due out in 2018. No word on when/if that will come to fruition, seeing as some members are currently active in the incredible and very busy SeeYouSpaceCowboy. For now their discography to date is super solid, and I can't believe it's taken me this long to get a post up on them, seeing as I'm fairly certain I've mentioned them multiple times already. Amygdala are a five-piece hardcore band from San Antonio, Texas that began in 2014.
Beginning with a self-released tape, they have continually grown with staunch DIY values and a very vocal powerful political message, which is just as crucial to this band as their music. They give a voice to oppressed and marginalized people, including people of colour, members of the LGBTQ community, and women, by directly addressing very current issues affecting these individuals, and relay that message through their lyrics and at their shows. It's a crucial part of the band, and one that makes them one of the most important hardcore bands in recent years. Not to mention, their music is incredible and extremely intense, and blends together elements of early metalcore and screamo through a distinctly hardcore lens. They recently released their newest album on legendary metal label Prosthetic Records, which will hopefully put this band on a much wider radar, because they deserve to be heard.

This four-track offering is an explosive breath of fresh air, blending the melodic aspects of emo and post-rock into their cathartic screamo foundation.
Fans of bands such as Suis La Lune, Pianos Become The Teeth, State Faults, William Bonney, Old Gray and The Saddest Landscape will take an immediate interest in this. Without a doubt this is one of the best EP's I've heard this year, and an incredible start for a band sure to blow up in the near future.Photo Credit: Thomas MansantiThe EP opens up with 'Decay (Alone)', introducing interpolated film dialogue, giving the listener an immediate emotional crisis before the song has even kicked in. What follows are heavy octave-chords contrasted with clean, gentle arpeggios, while the vocals shout over each other, before descending into an instrumental over more dialogue. This track makes fantastic use of dynamics, with full breaks in momentum with just a single sustained chord before charging back in again.
It finally closes out with a monumental crescendo that breaks into disarray, and after just one track I was hooked on this band.' That Scene In Fight Club Where Edward Norton Looks In The Mirror And Sees Brad Pitt Instead Of Himself' introduces a screamier Listener-esque spoken word segment at the beginning, with a low bass rumble and atmospheric guitar work below it. This builds into one of the most melodic tracks, with the guitars taking a heavy post-rock influence, and the track building and crescendoing instead of following any linear structure.
The vocals stand out with one hell of a passionate performance, making the song's 6-minute runtime feel like 6 seconds.' Before I Self Destruct' features the most broken vocals on this entire EP, which are absolutely heart-wrenching. They are really the main feature on this track, with an incredible performance to boot.
The instrumental plays fairly straight-forward, with a descending chord pattern and reverb-washed guitar tones that compliment the song's honest simplicity.The closing track, 'We Can't Stop Here, This Is Marlboro Country' brings back new film excerpts, before erupting into the heaviest Floral Patterns have been thus far. Eventually it falls into a nice bass/drum-lead instrumental break, with sparse guitar work, but heavy reverb shimmer.
The screamed vocals pull back in, alternating lines between them. A single breath is given before they fly into a heavy heaven-ward outro crescendo.You can listen to The Time It Takes To Get From Place To Place And How People Change in full on Bandcamp below. They also have some tour dates coming up with the also-incredible Reveries.
More info on those shows can be found below. The title track opens the record up, with a flurry of intricate yet flowing rhythms, with their distinct acoustic guitar seamlessly switching between smooth jazz chords, arpeggios and furious noodling. Their forlorn vocals carve out melodic passages for the first half of the song, the kind that are just begging to be shouted along to. They pull in the heavy punches in the latter half, with a ton of hard-hitting syncopation, screamed vocals, and this harrowing bass tone that solidifies the emotional gut-punch. The band's blend of post-hardcore, math rock and emo influences mesh together in this duality of unique complexity and subtle familiarity, which is exactly what makes them stand out so much, and why this opener is a killer introduction to what's to follow.
'Get Well' is a brilliant tension-builder, starting off on a crescendo before falling in to an instrumental where every member is firing on all cylinders. The tightness through these passages is immensely impressive, and the vocals recall the best of Anthony Green's performances.
The heavy acoustic strumming is heavenly, creating a harmonious space amidst the emotionally-driven chaos. The third track, 'Hindsight' acts as an instrumental guitar interlude.
It relies just as much on the space between notes as the notes themselves to provide a nice break and perfect segue into the next half of the album. '2020' opens up with the guitar work duelling between melody and dissonance, before the whole band kicks in.
The drum work flows effortlessly while the bass knocks out heavy hits of syncopation, providing a sinister tone to the choir of backing vocals. Speaking of vocals, one of the best things about this band/album are the shouts that break up the singing into a near-scream, but always pulling back before exploding full-throttle. This track exemplifies that fantastically, where the vocals assist in the rise-and-fall tension the instrumental emits. Overall, this could be CityCop's finest work to date (and that is saying a lot). Picking standout tracks is near-impossible, but if I absolutely had to, I would say 'Nesh' and 'Flatline' floored me the most, but every track offers something different yet equally solid. They're a band who continue to impress with a plethora of influences coming together to create one sound that can only be referred to as 'CityCop'. Nesh is available today from Little Elephant Records.
You can check out the video for the lead single 'Nesh' below, as well as pick up the 7'. The hardest working band in screamo business are back, with this marking their fifth full-length album, alongside nearly 30 splits in their 9 years of existence.
Of course it is none other than Coma Regalia, who are releasing Vau Faelgoh on May 25th, via Middle-Man Records. They have been an absolute staple in modern screamo history, thanks to their relentlessly prolific release schedule, and close association with countless notable bands via splits/touring, as well as drummer/vocalist Shawn Decker's involvement in the equally-essential Middle-Man Records. They've made a name for themselves through their visceral and volatile playing, and heavy influence from a myriad of classic screamo acts, including Funeral Diner, Beau Navire and The Saddest Landscape. Vau Faelgoh reaffirms their already-cemented legacy as masters of their art. In these 11 tracks, the band drips with chaotic fervor, towing the line between hardcore aggression and melodic release.
They utilize quick, dynamic changes to great effect, making these mostly 2-minute tracks sound like opuses. The desperate vocal delivery and cutting lead guitar lines recall the best tracks in The Saddest Landscape's catalogue, with songs like 'Eaufell' being prime examples of this. The following track, 'Aestheroh', features a pg.99-like build-up, which is just one of many homages to the sound they are torchbearers of.' Kistleden' and 'Tielasten' are standout tracks for their melodic, heartbreaking arpeggios, as well as some clean/screamed vocal layering on the former. Album closer 'Daemeron' is everything I wanted out of this record and more.
With vocals at the start sounding like a desperate rallying cry, and a gradual build-up amidst tremolo-picked octave chords, and those clean vocal harmonies looming in the background. It probably currently stands as my personal favourite track on the album (with some stiff competition, mind you), and ends this new record on a high note.Coma Regalia are a must-listen in the modern screamo-sphere. Not only are they one of the most prolific acts to come out this decade, but one of the greatest at keeping this sound alive. Vau Faelgoh is a fantastic introduction if you have not heard them before (which, let's face it, you've definitely heard of this band through at least one of their splits already).
The album is out on May 25th via Middle-Man Records. More information can be found below on release day. Frail were a five-piece straight edge hardcore/emo band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that were around from 1993 to 1996. They released three EP's and a split in their time, all of which were compiled in 2000 on Make Your Own Noise. Severely underrated but incredibly influential (on Saetia, to name one), Frail made a name for themselves as an 'emocore' band in the truest sense. They took the metallic hardcore aggression of bands like Unbroken and infused it with the passionate screams and dissonant/melodic blend of bands like Portraits Of Past.
Their limited output resulted in a virtually-perfect discography, which is an absolute must-listen for fans of screamo in its early stages. Members of Frail also later played in Ink & Dagger.

No Justice were a four-piece hardcore punk band from Washington, DC that were around from 1999 to 2000. During this time, they only released one 7', and it was near the latter end of their short-lived career.
They are perhaps best known for their insane live shows, which a quick YouTube search will reveal just how crazy and reckless these shows (and particularly their lead singer) could get. I definitely suggest checking those out, but for now we have a surprisingly solid EP of youth crew-inspired hardcore. Some members also later played in 86 Mentality. Ethel Meserve were a four-piece post-hardcore/emo band from State College, Pennsylvania that were around from either 1994 to 1998 or 1995 to 1997 (sources differ). They only released one full-length LP, 1997's The Milton Abandonment, along with two 7's and a split with the equally-underrated Giants Chair. They also made a handful of compilation appearances, including the legendary (Don't Forget To) Breathe comp. All their non-LP tracks were compiled in 2000 on Spelling The Names.Sonically, they took the aggressive, angular dissonance founded in the San Diego scene and blended it with the emerging lighter, more melodic midwestern emo sound (think Boys Life and Knapsack), along with sprawling song structures a la June of 44.
Their output is small but sweet, and highly recommended. Regional Justice Center are a powerviolence band from Seattle, Washington that began in 2017. Initially the brainchild of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Ian Shelton, they have expanded into a full-piece band since. RJC came bursting out last year with the release of their full-length album, World of Inconvenience, with a personal statement regarding the American incarceration system, which is as powerful as the rage-fueled music on it. If anger was an energy, this record could fuel the universe. Or something like that.
It's an incredible album and an intense listen, I don't know what else needs to be said. Oh, and it was produced by Will Killingsworth.
