Stay Inside releasing their debut full length Viewing via No Sleep on April 10th. new songs "Ivy" and "Monuments" released today. fucking get into it - the record rules RIYL: Balance and Composure, Thursday, Xerxes
WHOA. Just listened to the first song. Some MWY [Untitled] vibes as well. It's been a good while since I was blown away by an opening track on an album from a new band. EDIT: Oh the second song, this is why y'all were making Touche Amore and Xerxes comparisons, haha.
So this was a weird album to me, because the first song is 100% my jam but the rest of the album never clicked as well as that song.
I discovered this band from the emo thread. I was just about to say they remind me of Balance and Composure, then I saw Drew’s RIYL lol. Good stuff.
I feel like if this was still AP, it would have. This site has kinda moved away from the genre and more to less heavy music.
I dunno, the description of this album sounds tailor made for me, but outside of the opener, it just doesn't click. Kind of seems like a band that could write my AOTY further down the line though.
I think the lack of touring for a lot of bands have hurt discussions - I feel the same about a lot of newer records (Dogleg, Charmer, END, I'm Glad It's You) that are fucking great yet aren't a huge focus.
