In this first edition I want to tell you to listen to an American band called Pianos Become The Teeth. I first came across this band after downloading a digital sampler from an awesome label called Topshelf Records. From the moment I heard their track "Jess and Charlie" I was hooked. I wanted more. Their mix of screamo, hardcore and post rock make a fine cocktail of noise. The guitars build up reverb heavy walls of noise whilst the drums and vocals smash straight through the middle.
What I think appeals to me most is the vocalists off kilter screams. At times he almost seems to be singing over a completely different song. OK that sounds like it should sound awful but it doesn't, it works, trust me. A couple of weeks I was lucky enough to catch them live. In the flesh the vocals tear in to your ears and make you want to just shout along just random phrases because you have no idea what he's saying but you don't care you just do it anyway. yyaaarrghharghaaaaaaahahhhh!!
If you get chance to see them live I insist you go and see them. Everything about their live show epitomises why this kind of music is great, and why I love it.
