I remember reading that Swan and co made utter guitar madness the only marker for success here. Luckily, the songs are also great regardless of the noodling. Some of the most experimental writing you'll hear from Donovan as well. hedies23
This came out right at the end of a really bad time in my life, and I connected with it deeply. I would have loved this record regardless, but the fact that I trauma bonded with it makes it one of my favorite releases in all of post-hardcore. I consider this equal to Wake by Hail. hedies23
From L.A. comes the latest from post-rock outfit bondo, with tendrils of spindly guitar snaking through arid percussion. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 4, 2023
Jon Mess is a lyrical beast. His scream is so unique and I'm in love with the fact that this project allows him to explore his voice a bit more (both literally and figuratively [those sing/screams on Honey Boo Buscemi and Meat Fetish are ufff]). Of course Will is the man, I see a different side of Matt (which is good), but i think the real star here is Martin. His heavier insight is truly what makes this album what it is. His riffs are heavy, progressive and oh so smart. Miguel Guzman
