pharaohs - we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas


I'm not going to say that these guys are incredibly mathy but I will say that its a lot of fun and there are some awesome guitar licks being traded. So imagine some kind of pop punk indie math rock that isn't trying to take itself so seriously.  Its a very solid EP all in all. These guys are from England  and actually sound a titch like a band I previously posted "Colour". The lyrics are pretty forgettable but end up being catchy anyway. BOOM!

Mouth to Mouth to Mouth - MTMTM EP


Wanted to take a second and highlight an excellent release from a group that is from Ithaca NY.  Mouth to Mouth to Mouth is relatively new on the scene. They have a very exciting blend of math rock that we at the swords know is king around here. Chock full of complex drums and sprightly guitars.  The addition of vocals is a very excellent touch for these guys and really adds an extra layer of depth.

Please if your in the area check these gents playing at the always fun Big Day In on May 7th presented by Ithaca Underground at the Haunt. There are tons of other awesome bands on the bill, do yourself a favor.
