2020 Future Punks (2018)-9.2/10

Genre 1: Future Punk
Genre 2: Punk Rock 
Label (s): Poisonous Youth Records

Aimless Again was one of my first reviews back in 2014 on my old tumblr. Back then, I considered them friends, but I didn't know them all too well. I had seen them only two times back when I wrote that review. Four years later I'm a lot closer with them, but let me tell you that friendship does not affect this review in anyway, nor did it my excitement for the new album. I certainly am proud though!

2020 Future Punks is a huge step for the Long Island trio. It's literally the beginning of a new era, just as the title suggests. The first thing one will notice when listening to the new songs is the sheer amount of growth. The band has gotten a lot older since their first two releases. It shows in just about every way possible. Aimless Again is comprised of talented sound engineers and beat produces, so they have self-released their first two albums, including doing their own recording, mixing, and mastering of their tracks. This time around, they paid good money to get extra quality work done. That's just one thing that makes you feel like you're listening to a more grown band. It couldn't sound more professional if it tried. Another thing would certainly be the overall song composition. The writing in all the tracks feel more progressed compared to the simplistic garage band-style tracks back when Bill! was released in 2011.  GOOD NEWS: This album has eleven tracks. BAD NEWS: You'll still want more.

2020 Future Punks starts off with an easy-going "Intro". You can hear the legendary Juevos chillin. Some footsteps. Then, "Intro" leads us directly into the next track, "Shredder". It already feels like ten years have passed since you've listened to the North Shore Demo last. You've already entered the time machine my friends. "Shredder" starts off with everything that you love about the band. Dope guitar riffs, fast drums, tight bass lines, and Jake Ferring's one-of-a-kind voice. You can hear everything perfectly, and that makes me happy because you'll need a surprising amount of listens to this album to catch everything even if there is (primarily) only three instruments.

The big hit of the album, "Scream" is the next track, and this one is bound to be a fan favorite. Everything is catchy and addicting. If any song on the album was meant to be played on repeat, "Scream" is it. You even get the added bonus of hearing Jake scream his heart out AND a fantastically crafted music video which you can find below! This far in, you can already hear the beginning of all the added "special effects" that are present throughout the album. Not only do they fit in perfectly, but they add an additional layer. It is the future after all!

"My Mistake" has the difficult task of following up after "Scream". Luckily right off the bat it delivers an addicting riff that sounds deja vu like you either heard it a million times before, or perhaps the riff is only triggering nostalgia because it speaks directly to one's soul. "My Mistake" has such good pacing throughout that it challenges "Scream" for the title of best track. For some, it may very well win. Once again, I simply cannot stress enough how great everyone is at their roles. Sean's bounces and drum fills flow so nicely with the guitar and bass. Anthony DeNapoli's bass doesn't feel like filler at all like some punk bands usually feel to me. Instead, you can really hear how good he's gotten at his instrument, and it helps set the mood for every song in a unique way.

So that the listener doesn't blow their load too early, Aimless Again slows down the action and gives us "Interlude" which has a very Pink Floyd type of feel to me. This track would not be as effective without such excellence with the mixing and mastering. It's up there for one of my favorite interlude tracks ever.

"Turn & Run" brings us back to the action, with another upbeat song. Everything I've mentioned earlier is still applicable for this middle track. It's got an exciting breakdown that speeds the track up with Seany's well-known timekeeping holding everything together very well.

"Tracer" will keep your head bobbing up and down, as the band delivers us another chillaxed punk track.

"Rejuvenate" sounds like a track destined to be played on mainstream radio stations, and I mean that in the good way. It's got radio friendly riffs, and unbelievable ghost notes, and it stands out even more than the last two tracks to me. This one is also a contender for track MVP.

"Celebration" Oh man. What to say? This song is another good change of pace. Listening to it just makes you happy. It's a song that would be hard for anyone without Jake's unique style of singing. This one seems to me like an ode to an older form of music, as if saying you should celebrate the past on the way to the future.

"7 Lonely Days" starts off acoustic, which again, is a great change of pace. A punk album would almost feel empty without at least one. The backing vocals and the violin do great to back the lead vocals, and give the song a peaceful vibe. Then, right when you think they're going to jump into a generic punk change-up, they surprise you again by building up on the peaceful mood they've already established. This is possibly the most beautiful instrumentation from Jake, Anthony and Sean on the entire record. When the song does speed up, it doesn't feel forced at all. Jake's guitar work on "7 Lonely Days" simply blows me away as he plays in ways I've never heard him do before. Drums and bass are also unique here compared to other tracks, which helps it shine all the more. After listening to it, I guarantee you'll feel the need to the hug someone in the band and tell them that it's going to be okay.

"Outro", like it's sister tracks, fulfills its role well. It closes off a phenomenal album. It's a gorgeous soundscape that could very well be what I'll hear the next time I look at something beautiful like the moon, or my cat. I know how much the band likes to play around with beat making and pedal effects, and I'm happy they got to use it to close off this album.

There are several good reasons why Aimless Again is my favorite punk band on Long Island. This album showcases all of them. I hope my excitement helps feed the excitement of anyone who reads this, because trust me, it has been worth the wait. If I had any criticism of this album at all, it would be that not all songs on it are 10/10s. Trust me when I say there are no bad songs though. Not even close. They just all can't all be as good as "Scream", "Shredder", "My Mistake" and "7 Lonely Days". This album is still without a doubt, their best release yet and pretty damn close to perfect.

Image may contain: night and text
































You From Before (2017)-9.2
Genre 1: Alternative Rock
Genre 2: Indie Rock
Genre 3: Shoegaze
For Fans Of: Acceptance, Moving Mountains, Icarus The Owl, Foxtrax,
Blueblack, We Take Fire

-Album Review-

The Betters' debut release You From Before is an excellent addition to Long Island's already large collection of Indie and Alternative rock bands. This debut release maintains a poppy, radio friendly sound, but without the typical basic/mainstream composition or approach. Every song from start to finish is crafted with incredible guitar work, solid drum work and lovable vocals. I love how the vocals sound familiar and unique at the same time. 

My first thought upon visiting the band's bandcamp was thinking that the price was a little steep, I mean, it's $7 for a local band's debut with only six tracks. But, by the time I finished listening, my opinion was adjusted. As you can hear, this album is essentially of the highest quality of recording, mixing and mastering, and I'm pretty sure that couldn't have come too cheaply. Speaking of which, my only complaint is that I can't really hear the bass well which is a bit of a shame, but not exactly uncommon. The bass playing is best heard on the self-titled track "You From Before", and it sounds great and beautiful! Wish it was noticeable more often. Aside from that though, the two guitar players step it up big time with fantastic riffs, melodies, and harmonies. They play off of each other and that's definitely the coolest part about this band in my opinion. Keeping in mind that this is a debut release, I'm absolutely stoked to see where these guys progress from here. The Betters have a lot of potential with their original style and their catchy compositions. I also get the feeling that they're the type of band that's even better live, so hopefully I can catch these guys sometime soon.

Live Review 021-Beyond Creation

Image may contain: 2 people, people on stage, concert and night


Live performance:****     Times Seen:2

The Aura (2011): 9.7

Earthborn Evolution (2014):9.4

Genre 1: Technical Death Metal
Genre 2: Progressive Metal
Genre 3: Extreme Metal
For Fans Of: The Faceless, Cattle Decapitation, Necrophagist, Between the Buried & Me, Rings of Saturn, Nile, Archspire, Spawn of Possession, +Animals As Leaders , bass leads and fast drums, extreme instrumentation. 
Formed In: 2005 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Status: Preparing a North American Tour
Label: Seasons of Mist


-Discography Overview-


Image may contain: plant and outdoor


The Aura is the breathtaking debut release from one of Canada's finest bands in the scene. Montreal based Beyond Creation is heavy, technical, slow, and fast. I discovered this band and album because of the Rings of Saturn Facebook page, and I'm not afraid to to admit it. There are several similar bands, but few can fuse the elements of technicality and brutality better than Beyond Creation. The most incredible aspect of the band is arguably the bass skills. The bass lines and guitar shredding in "Coexistence" are phenomenal. The song has everything you could hope for: a heavy breakdown, an insane guitar solo, and a gorgeous interlude with an additional bass solo. Few bands could have the bass follow the guitar so perfectly. Of course the band wouldn't be so impacting without the wonderful vocals that fit the style perfectly. And what would a death metal band be without a blast beating powerhouse behind the kit? The grooves and pounding riffs are as catchy as they are heavy. "Omnipresent" was the first song by Beyond Creation I ever heard, and the bleating riffs on guitar and bass were instantly enough to draw me in and acquire the rest of the album. "Omnipresent" is truly a masterpiece of a song. The pace and dynamic of this album is done really well, which you don't always see in Progressive Metal or Death Metal. The second to last track serves as a beautiful interlude slash intro for the finale. It's a peaceful intermission before the blast beating powerhouse known as "The Deported"  closes things off. Overall, this album has some tracks good enough to bring it to the list of the greats like Planetary Duality. Go listen if you haven't yet!

Earthborn Evolution is Beyond Creation's sophomore release, and boy is it hard to stand up to their powerful debut release, but Earthborn Evolution puts up a damned good fight. Many similar sounding elements from the first album are still there, but Beyond Creation does a pretty good job at giving a fresh perspective. That's the mostl clear when you reach the second track "Sous La Lueur De L'empereur" which does all of the things you love about this band, but in a different way. The title track begins like a really cool melodic interlude, then quickly turns into consonant and slow approach to a song. This song feels almost like a tech death ballad, and I mean that in a good way. "Theatrical Delirium" is another cool one that I like a lot. I don't know how to properly describe it without sounding repetitive, but...holy fuck that bass! There are still a ton of cool parts in this album, but in the end, it still didn't leave me as WOWed as I was after The Aura. It's a great release, but it leaves me to wonder if Beyond Creation can manage to top their first record. Unfortunately it's very hard to stay original and fresh in death metal genre. Still, I'm quite curious to hear what these guys do next.

-Live Review-

Beyond Creation is a must-see Death Metal act. They're brutal and beautiful. The instrumentation is on point, and the sound quality has always been great. The vocalist also has a fan (or something?) built into his guitar, so that it blows on him while he plays making his hair fly back behind him in a corny but hilarious display of metal power. \m/. 

Beyond Creation's energy is powerful, so the crowd will usually circle pit or indulge in a push pit of sorts. Unfortunately, the first time I saw Beyond Creation in the city my fellow New Yorkers embarrassed me by yelling out "Canada sucks" and stuff like that, but the band took it in good humor and played out their heart's content. My friends in Animist opened up for that show, and it was absolutely sick. The second time I saw Beyond Creation was at Summer Slaughter at Webster Hall. They had an even bigger crowd this time around, and played just as well. I'm really happy these talented dudes have been able to break out into the big leagues, they definitely deserve it. 


The first song I ever heard, and the same video too! Check it out. (Bass players be warned, it's intense.)

Live Review 020-Bangladeafy [LONG ISLAND]

Live performance:****     Times Seen:1

This Is Your Brain On Drugs (2011): 9.6

The Briefcase EP (2013):9.7

Narcopaloma (2016):9.9

Genre 1: Math Rock
Genre 2: Experimental
Genre 3: Progressive Metal
Genre 4: Post-Punk
For Fans Of: Giraffes? Giraffes!, Chon, Mouse on the Keys, American Football, Tottorro, The Number Twelve Lookes Like You, TTNG, Antarctic , +Animals As Leaders , Toundra, Psyopus, Piglet, prog rock, weird math music, bass and drums, extreme instrumentation. 
Formed In: 2009
Status: Uploading Weird Cover Photos on Facebook
Label: Nefarious Industries



Bangladeafy's debut album is a release you won't soon forget. The album art and title is very telling of what you should expect. From start to finish, you will feel like your brain is on drugs and/or bugs, as Bangladeafy's unique erratic sound crawls in through your ears and then infests your brain with catchy technical prowess. I can't think of any more extreme math rock then these guys. Time signature changes, grooves, oddly like-able singing that fits, and drum beats that I could only dream of playing. You can try bobbing your head, and I wish you the best of luck in doing so. Man, the bass and drums are so on point for this record as well as the others, you need to show it to anyone who appreciates those instruments and blow their minds. Listening to Bangladeafy is also great for bragging rights. 

Favorite Song: Burn The Witches


The Briefcase isn't that much different than it's predecessor. This isn't a bad thing either. Right away you can tell all of the same elements you love are still there, with perhaps a slightly more advanced and intricate approach. The bass only gets catchier, and the drums faster. You'll be wondering how bassist John Elhers and drummer Atif Haq write these extreme songs let alone play them. Don't think about that too hard, or your brain will bounce around in your head too much. Dare I say so, but I feel like this EP is a little more jazzier too. The Briefcase is a very catchy record, that will make you want to pack up all of your things in a briefcase and go somewhere in the woods just to decipher the complex musicianship this album holds.

Favorite Songs: Tubes or Fruit Flies



Narcopaloma. This EP is the culmination of everything dissonant, everything consonant, everything that Bangladeafy is and ever was, is perfectly represented in this prog blender of an EP. Some scientists think that you hear Naropaloma front to back when you die [Disclaimer: Please buy the music rather than die to hear it for free]. The drums on this EP are undoubtedly my favorite yet, with seamless transitions, hyper-active grooves and the ever-addicting cowbell on Trillionaire. As always, John supplies tasteful bass like no other band can as well as some sick Synth playing. In my opinion, Bangladeafy has managed to top their prior works with this release, which truly leaves me frightened and excited to hear how they top this masterpiece.  

Favorite Songs: Act Like An Adult or Trillionaire

I remember hearing about Bangladeafy for years. Probably since around the time of their first release back in 2011. I didn't listen to them though until they were on a bill with my good friends in Cryptodira. I checked out the band and was like "yeah wow I gotta go!" but for whatever reason, I either didn't or couldn't. It wasn't until Crypto announced they were playing with them again in 2016 that I re-listened to them. Since my love for math rock and progressively weird music has only increased, as well as my ear's sharpness, I realized they were also only a duo in addition to comprehending how insanely talented they are. I instantly fell in love and knew I'd have to take off work and drive to Brooklyn for this show. Plus they were also playing with my homies in Fall of the Albatross and Consonance. Lucky me!

Spoilers: They are just as insane and unbelievable live as they are on their CDs. You're jaw will be wide open and your foot will be tapping, but your face will also be melting. Bangladeafy is a live experience like no other. You could write entire term papers on their music. In addition to being prog gods, John and Atif are extremely nice and down to Earth. They were more than happy to converse with me just as I was more than happy to buy Narcopaloma. Can't wait to see this band again. Make sure YOU see this band next time you can too!

If my words aren't enough, and listening isn't enough for you to comprehend this band's talent, check out this video play through!

Live Review 019-Atlas Concept



Live performance:****     Times Seen:1
Atlas Concept (2014): 9.7
Genre 1: Progressive Metal
Genre 2: Instrumental 
Genre 3: Math Metal
For Fans Of: Scale The Summit; The Contortionist; Cloudkicker; The Ocean; Pelican; Plini; Intervals; Between the Buried & Me; Animals As Leaders; chill vibes; guitar shredding; climbing music. 
Formed In: 2013
Status: Working on new music, playing shows. 
Label: Unsigned
Location: Staunton, Virginia




Atlas Concept is a progressive metal band from the far away land of Virginia. I had the pleasure of helping book them a Long Island date on their tour. Huge shout out to Harold from Fall of The Albatross. Without him, I would have never known this wonderful band exists. You can tell right away from listening to the opening track "Tessellate" that Atlas Concept is a beautiful and adventurous sounding band, with serene but powerful riffs and the perfect bass and drums combo. This debut EP is great for chillaxed background listening, or an epic instrumental theme for those who like to go outside and take music on a journey with them. The progressions and melodies are done expertly throughout the debut EP, but the first song alone displays all the different perspectives the band has to offer us. The second song, adequately titled "Stardust", is a beautiful guitar and bass interlude that leaves as quickly as it arrives. Atlas Concept probably could have put this interlude between every track or made this one ten minutes and I wouldn't have minded either. "Primitive Nuances" starts off slowly, and builds up faster and faster. The guitar work on this track is utterly phenomenal. Atlas Concept may sound a lot like Scale the Summit, but they are by all means, a very original and uniquely expressive band. "Kunai" further backs up my last statement. This track is tense, groovy, and heavy. All of the instruments work together to make "Kunai" as extreme and mathy as possible, replete with catchy riffs. If your head isn't bobbing to this track, then maybe you need to raise the volume. It's super impressive to me that this band would not function as well if there wasn't a good drummer and bassist able to follow the guitar work precisely. This dynamic is changed up completely, when the next interlude kicks in. My statement from before also applies. I could listen to an album of mellow music by Atlas Concept that's how good they are at doing serene music. "Construct" is another track that blends an interesting dynamic of their guitar work and an insane post-rock interlude in the middle of the song. These dudes are seriously great at composing beautiful artistic songs. "Construct" is the album closer, and it fills that role perfectly. Another compliment I want to give these guys, is how well they organized their track list. From start to finish, their debut is fantastic and well-paced. Thanks guys for giving me another incredible album to listen to when I fall asleep, or go on hikes!

I only listened to one track by Atlas Concept before, seeing them live. I just wanted to make sure I liked all the bands I was booking, but I didn't want to spoil anything. They blew me away with an ocean of powerful prog music. I can't think of any band on Long Island that composes music such as they do, so it definitely helped me appreciate how insane Atlas Concept is live. There was no doubt that I would get their music after. I highly recommend catching this band live if they are playing near you, and if they aren't then go download or buy their music and wait until they do, I promise it'll be worth it. I'm definitely waiting to see them again, especially now that I know their music a lot better. One can only imagine how good and epic the next release will be. I have high hopes it'll be as impressive as their self-titled EP. I suspect the new record may even have vocals this time around...

Live Review 018-The American Working Class [LONG ISLAND]

Live performance:****     Times Seen:2
Summer Sessions (2014): 8.9
New Greens (2015): 9.3
Genre 1: Math Rock
Genre 2: Experimental
Genre 3: Ambient
Genre 4: Post-Punk
For Fans Of: Giraffes? Giraffes!, Chon, TTNG, Antarctic , +Animals As Leaders , Bangladeafy, A Lot Like Birds, Circa Survive, prog rock, weird math music. 
Formed In: 2014
Status: Just Chillin’ (Pretty sure the drummer is recovering from an injury)
Label: Unsigned
The American Working Class is a duo of math rock wizards hailing from Nassau County, Long Island. Their debut EP Summer Sessions sounds as non-chalant as the title implies. The duo makes music that sounds somewhere in between a jam and written material. The drums and guitar balance each other very well, and the first three songs of the Summer Sessions EP sound like they could all be parts of one song. The fourth song "Ricky Spanish" continues in the same manner, but has a hidden gem in it that sets it apart from the rest. After a pedal interlude, the last minute or so of the song switches gears completely. Short and sweet, but a fun twist for the end of their debut work. This is a cool quick record to pop in.

TAW's sophomore release, is noticeably more mature sounding. From start to finish, there's more variety, and possibly some new influences such as Chon. The guitarist also sings, which changes things even more. He has a unique and soothing voice which fits the band's style well. The audio clip in the first song "About As" somehow manages to fit very well. The outro in the second song is really cool and spacey. I like the band's subtle way of ending that song. The third songs starts with an awesome speech clip, and an excellent groove. Guitar and drums fuse together effortlessly. There's even a mathy-breakdown in this song.

When I saw The American Working Class for the first time, it was at Evolution Sound Stage, and they happened to be the only band I didn't know on the bill. My friend Cody Hosza had them labelled as math rock though, so I knew I'd enjoy them, as well as the fact that they were put on a spectacular line-up with all of my friends (Blueblack, Luke Zwelsky Group, It Came From Space and Animus Apart). The American Working Class certainly did not disappoint. I saw them again a second time at O'briens with a bunch of other experimental and math rock bands. Their drummer was a fill-in, but you wouldn't have known unless you were told so.
The American Working Class's  music is even more intense and dynamic live. If you like technicality and mellow beauty, I definitely recommend catching these guys when they play their next show. It'd also be interesting to hear what they come up with if they ever do a full-length. I happen to be looking forward to both!

-Live Review+Discography Overview-
image
So, I had the opportunity to see Baroness right around the time that I was jamming them hard. Naturally I copped a ticket before even checking out the other bands they were playing with. I travelled to Webster Hall by myself to see them. It was definitely worth it, but they still left me a bit disappointed and upset. Why? Because Baroness hardly played any old music. As is common with my taste in music, my favorite releases are the earliest ones. First, Second, “Third”, Red, and Blue are hands down my favorite releases. Baroness ripped back then. They were sludgy and fast paced, but also melodic and elegant. Their song composition was unpredictable and exciting. In later albums they felt more of a formulaic hard rock band with only hints of the band they used to be. What happened? Maybe the singer can’t do old songs any more because of the growling yells? Maybe they just hate their old music? I have no idea, but the best I got was them playing “Isak” and the instrumental track off of Blue “Ogeeche Hymnal”. The six tracks that comprise the first two EPs have a perfect dynamic, excellent flows and progression, and the most impressive drumming and guitar that the band has shown. Despite this, I wasn’t expecting to hear the two EPs live because of their age, but I did feel insulted that they only played one Red song and one Blue song, yet Baroness played almost all of Yellow & Green and Purple.
Yellow & Green is definitely what I would consider the band’s low point, as that music is essentially progressive dad rock. However, even that album has it’s merit, and it’s still a good album, it’s only ‘bad’ in comparison to the albums that came before it.
Despite their choice for a set list, they did sound tight as hell. It was like listening to the records live, but better. In addition to their sound, they also had cool stage lighting effects. The stage was illuminated by whatever color album the song they were playing was off of. (Red, Blue, Yellow & Green, Purple). There was a point where they started playing a song and the lights were still red-trust me, I was hype- but then I realized it was a song off Purple. The same time that I realized that, the stage engineer did too cause they actually switched the lighting mid-song that time. Talk about a sad face. 
Because I try my best to be unbiased, I’m giving Baroness four stars for their live performance, because if you happen to like the last two albums the best, then you were probably having the time of your life. They were energetic and powerful. I’m still glad I got to see them and experience them live. Maybe when I get a time machine I can watch Red Album or Blue Record played live all the way through. That’d be tight.
Reccomended tracks:Tower Falls, Wanderlust, The Sweetest Curse, Jake Leg, Chlorine & Wine.
