Treats for your earholes.

So forever ago i promised to do some sweet reviews on this blog, and i've been doing a terrible job at keeping that promise. but here i am on my mother's laptop, getting over a five-day fever in order to make a sad attempt at talking about one of my new favorite bands, Pianos Become The Teeth.

I'd really be able to do this group of manly men more justice if i waited 'til my brain wasn't feeling so constricted right now, but i'll give it a whirl anyway. Ever since seeing them play at Punk Rock House II in Elkhorn, i've been listening to their album Old Pride more or less daily. To me, they're pretty straight forward screamo, but....better at it. Vocals are driven by a unique rhythm, while the post-rock moving guitar parts are backed by just the right amount of subtle sludge. Seeing them live made me appreciate the notion of having heavy metal hair without giving a shit about heavy metal.

Really, there's so much more to be said about these guys, but i really can't think. They blew my mind live, and I'm in love with their latest record, and i encourage everyone else to let their minds be blown as well.

here's a couple photos from their performance for the opening of PRHII:



God, that hair....

here's a link to their myspace (LISTEN TO "FILIAL"), and an awesome PBTT long jump tourney video:
