OCTAVES : GREENER PASTURES (2010)



Link
genre: post-hardcore

guess what? i paid mediacom this month! free music for all!

I stumbled upon these guys the other day and was instantly charmed by their list of influences, which included such greats as my dearly beloved Pg. 99. The music didn't fail to deliver. Though obviously influenced by such bands as Dillinger, La Dispute, and The Chariot, Octaves still has their own sound, and it's a fantastic sound devoid of pussy singing and tacky sweeps. From what I can tell, Octaves seems to be yet another tragically unrecognized band.
