Cinemechanica - Martial Arts

Punk Indie Math Rock

There are few groups that I love more than Cinemechanica, these are the reasons:

1. They are fast
2. Technical as all get out
3. Some incredibly emotional shouting vocals
4.Strangely melodic

I can remember hearing "I'm Tired of Paul McCartney" for the first time and wondering what kind of space aliens copied exactly what I wanted a band to sound like and played it for me. These gents are are a part of the wonderful Hello Sir Athens GA record label. Cinemechanica im sure have spent a lot of time with the catalog of the equally amazing Canadian group North of America (whom I will certainly be covering in a later post) Cinemechanica is a logical progression from NoA's math lite punk rock. Just listen to this if you even have a passing interest in rock music. Everyone owes it to themselves. Please. Do it. If your still reading leave and listen :) NOW!

Martial Arts

The Cancer Conspiracy

 This group has a deep and true love of King Crimson, from an instrumental standpoint that is. A short lived group that left an influential mark on many, its hard to believe that its a trio playing at times. Any fan of rock music would enjoy this. The guitars are hard hitting and the drums are too restless to pin to any one style. A dear dear favorite of mine for awhile now. Both releases are worth taking a look into. Audio Medium is way more adventurous but doesn't always hit the mark. When it shines though it really is perfection. Omega is solid throughout but lacks the highs that Audio Medium achieves.
