Wax Phantom

Okay, well.. apparently the picture isn't working.

oh well

ANYWAYS!

Wax Phantom is a 4 piece punk band from Long Island, NY. They're pretty fucking fantastic, and have released their EP free for download. They're relatively new, so I don't know much about them. They kind of take a melodic/pop approach laced with hardcore. It's.. just really good.

LISTEN TO THEM.

kay so, here..

Don't Fool With a Phantom (2010)

Slingshot Dakota

Slingshot Dakota started off as a three piece emo band from Brooklyn, NY/Easton, PA, but after the departure of their guitarist they continued on as a duo. Piano, and a drum. A fucking ballsy piano mind you, and a goddamn amazing drummer. This is nothing like The Dresden Dolls, this is a completely different story. Their sound is a combination of punk and indie pop. Even if this doesn't sound appealing, I suggest you at least give it a shot.

Their pianist uses an untraditional approach coupled with an uhhh... kind of like a "jazzy/organ" setting instead of that pure piano sound. It almost mimics a guitar with really awkward distortion. Maybe this is emo piano rock? Piamo? I don't know. It's fucking incredible. I don't care much for their first album, so I'm giving you their second one.

They're also coming out with a new album relatively soon. CANNOT WAIT!

This is their Tumblr if you want to know what they're up to.

Their Dreams Are Dead, But Ours Is The Golden Ghost! (2008)

Here's a review.

Prawn

Prawn is a fucking emo/post-rock band. They're goddamn amazing, and if you don't like them, I want you to die.

I know I haven't posted in a long time, but who gives a shit.

They're generous enough to release their material for free along with an option to purchase. So, if you like what you hear, and if you have money to spare, you know what to do.

The Burning Paris

The Burning Paris released two albums, and then an anthology, and presumably called it quits after. The fact that they are not world renown is astonishing to me, because this is one of the greatest bands I have ever heard in my entire fucking life.. and I just found out about them yesterday.

They are cello, and piano driven post-rock. They are glorious, they are fucking incredible. If you assholes don't like this band.. fuck off.

After their break up, some members went on to form Eksi Ekso, but I haven't heard them yet. Probably fantastic.

The Little Explorer

The Little Explorer was a screamo/emo (with other elements) band from the United Kingdom. They were around from 2002 to 2008, and released one album, and a demo.. thing. Extremely talented, and their replay value is relatively high. I've searched a while for both of these releases, and they're hard to come by. It's a good thing this band is amazing, or I wouldn't even bother putting these up.

The band consisted of Garrick, Jim, Beal, and Biff. They played their final show in Derby, June 7th.

Fuck you, Mediafire.

I was going to also upload The Little Explorer, but Mediafire is being a cunt, so.
