The Active Rock/Post-Grunge Thread • Page 20

Love this song! They're 2/2 so far. Very excited for the album.

 

10 Years is so underrated.

 

This thread will like this album

First album since 1999

 

Oh they have another one too. Their second album was initially shelved in 2005, then came out in 2011. I remember the posts on ap.net

I remember them being kinda emo though, did they get more post grungey?

 

I don't know if I'd call this post-grunge but I see why Nate posted it and it's quite enjoyable. I could definitely see a place for this on Active Rock stations.

I see this band once did a split with Waterdown and that feels especially appropriate, does feel like that sort of melody-focused post-hardcore that's very digestible.

 

It has a 10 Years vibe to it. But yes, in the past they were more emo/post hardcore. Still are but this album has a rock sound to it as well.

Bummer about the four month delay, but I’ll take what I can get from these guys!

 

Another band that straddles the line between emo, pop punk and alt rock. Saw them open for One Step Closer.

 

There’s more active rock stuff coming, trust

 

Uh, guess I picked the absolute worst time to get into Nothing More.

Damnit

 

This band always gets a listen to me because of Doc Coyle. Also, the new vocalist being a former member of TAS is another plus.

 

Coyle's not in the band anymore and rumor has it that DL might not be either.

 

I think I saw something about Vext coming back

 

That's the rumor although I think Vext denied it, which I hope is true, because the guy sucks.

 

Yeah, God Forbid is sort of back together now.

 

Yes, he did say he was going to start up the band again with a whole new lineup.

 

So I've been relistening to all of their albums, and I'm on this one, and I think the reason it fails to grab me has something to do with the production. For some reason the vocals feel lower in the mix and the instruments are overpowering it, and the instruments in general feel like they blend together more, which is so odd, because every album up until then, they've been good about not doing that. I mean, the band had self-produced several records before, so I'm not sure why this album came out the way it did.

 

Earshot announced their new album, Humaning, drops digitally next Friday, with physical to follow early next year. Massively stoked.

 

From what I heard live, their new songs sound great

 

Even better, they said they’re releasing it to buy on Bandcamp today only.

 

Oh fuck, fucking done.

 

This new Earshot album is exactly the kind of crunchy moody hard rock I was craving. So glad they're back.
