Wormburner is a four piece pop-punk band from Grand Rapids, MI who take a few cues from the gruffness of their other projects (North Lincoln, Traffic and Weather), but instead of power-chords their guitar work is firmly rooted in the melodic sides of bands like Potboiler, or maybe even Braid. Well a lot of bands I've posted on Yo get into it! You know about that? right! Note: the upload is not the exact 7". You'll find out.
Fuck sweet all. def "A very small quantity indeed" My mind was wandering trough a lot of things while listenning to this ep. Which is great by the way and dates back 2002 for the record -FIY, I won't post somethnig i dislike...- So i was thinking of my teenage years oh sweet romance while having a goo goo dolls song playing in the back while having an intense feeling of love for the girl I had a crush on at this time. I drifted to a bruce springsteen tune, giving a little southern accent to my emotions -The Enablers are from...Gainesville! what a surprise- then i thought about Mike Ness and Frankie Stubbs listlessness voice. Social D, Leatherface...all of this in 6 tracks?! Give it a shot, rough melancholy is beautiful. Fact: Rob Coe -guitar- played in Faywray (noidearcds)
Take algernon cadwallader, tussin and company from Ny/Long island. Some steady ryhtms, catchy choruses, good stuff uh! If you never been on if you make it, check it out! Now what?
Back to my teenage years except that I discovered this record late 2009! Its weird that i never go into this record before as I had some interest in the epitath catalog back in '01. So almost ten years, uh! I heard some stories of devon williams, Osker's leader per say, one of the most hated guy in punk rock. "The world is a carousel of people who don’t know what the hell they are talking about. With this in mind, Osker receives criticism from lemmings who are determined to slam the band because of their reputation. Kids don’t know Devon Williams (vocals, guitar) personally, yet they feel security and freedom to call him an asshole. Furthermore, some people receive a sense of accomplishment by writing “your bands sucks” on the Osker messageboard, a mature act which must not go unnoted. However, these actions are more of a reflection of the trivial lives some people lead rather than the quality of the music Osker makes. Don’t be lead astray by the “most hated” tag. Although Devon’s cynicism and brutal honesty can get him in trouble from time to time, that’s no reason to overlook Idle Will Kill."
Idle will kill is a masterpiece. A must have pop-punk record that i cannot compare to another act. Meayb Dillinger Four but just replace the political songs with teenage angst. There are songs absolutely anthemic. Songs like disconnect disconnect or kinectic have haunted me for days. You can lable this punk rock as Osker didn't give a tiny fuck of all that criticism and managed to record something very different from their first lp, giving a different direction while sticking to pure honesty.
Seriously, this thing blew my mind. Take large instrumental post rock parts, the moving of appleseed cast, the beauty of american football, the pure air explosions in the sky is providing, mix with gruff voals from time to time, and you'll get chicago's Castevet. This is damn good. I mean you got to make things right when you mix thoses ingredients. To give decent credits to bands like casket lottery small brow bike and the aformentionned ones. Really brilliant, i'm out of superlatives and thats ok. New songs are up along the awesome art of their myspace page. New album The Echo & The Light out 23.2.10.
"Perfect blend of all the greatest moments from the '90s emo/indie/post-hardcore scenes" -punknews.
