Just realized The Dream The Chase's sole release has been put on streaming services. They were an Australian post-hardcore band that existed briefly in the late 00s and, judging by their sound, worshiped Beloved. They didn't go as hard on the breakdowns, but otherwise this is pretty much a spiritual follow up to Failure On. The guitarist/singer went on to join Dream, On Dreamer and also plays in Young Lions.
Aficionado came back last year with a new EP (which they said would be the first of four) then seem to have faded away again outside of one show in December. That band was (is?) so good.
Was just thinking about them a few days ago! Wild. I hope we finally get some new music from them as I still cherish the album they put out.
For some reason I thought they only had one album which is The Way I Fell In and the rest were eps but looks like I got that wrong ha. Much prefer The Way I Fell In.
That's awesome. I heard them for the first time recently from a "what was the local band from your town that should have been huge?" thread on Reddit, and then found out that the bassist went on to be in the Swellers. Their self-titled is really great.
Brad (singer/guitarist of Veara) started a new project called Between States. He’s got a couple covers up on bandcamp and original music will be out this year https://www.reddit.com/r/poppunkers/s/FXtHVOipyb Between States
This song came up on one of my playlists today, haven't heard it in years. I love that EP! The singer is now in Jetty Bones, I think she was a teenager while they were recording this.
Assuming this band has been mentioned in here before (if not, they should have been), but they released a new song today!
