Young & Beautiful by The Armed (2011)
Kind of Like: Converge, Botch, DEP
Genres: Mathcore, Hardcore, Noise Rock, Thrash
Preview: Bandcamp, Pizza
Apologies for the lack of updates. There are several things in my way: school is heavy at the moment, I fried my laptop last week and am hesitant to buy a new one, work sucks, doing the radio show and hockey season started/Tigers are in the playoffs/Lions are actually good now/ UofM is undefeated/sports. Right now I am updating on a shitty desktop computer. Eventually I will get sick of using this and get a new laptop, but who knows. That being said the new zine will probably be very small and come out right before Fest as some kind of a preview edition. And then after Fest, I will probably have much more material to work with (interviews/photos/news) for a much larger winter edition. Who knows, everything is in the air right now.
I was hoping Kenny would post this, seeing that this is his band and all. But he is being lazy and/or modest. This came out last week, but I was reminded to put this up when I saw the great reviews it was getting on Sputnik Music. They are kind of moving forward from a straightforward mathcore/hardcore band like Converge to something more unique, with elements of noise rock/garage rock thrown into the mix. That's my take on it anyways. I think so far this album has gotten the most exposure out of all their work. As one reviewer wrote: "It's good and it's free. Rips hard. Get it now."
