Follow The Falcon.

Opening with something completely unrelated to what the rest of this post is going to be about:

I've been listening to a lot of Mysterious Universe over the past few weeks.

Two dudes talking about weird stuff. The hosts generally start with strange happenings, which are pretty recent and plausible, followed by much stranger, farther fetched shit. Interesting and entertaining at the least.

Coast to Coast type shit...but they're Australian! They have cool accents to make it more engaging.


Musicshits.

Peregrine. I caught this band playing a house show a few years ago. I remember talking to a couple of these guys before they played (and before I had become too thunderously drunk.) and thinking how super-fucking nice they were. I remember specifically talking at length about the Animal Liberation Front, the ELF, and other groups akin to those; I had watched a documentary not much more than a couple of prior to seeing these dudes, so topics were still fresh in my mind. I think it was Your Mommy Kills Animals, but i could be mistaken. (I have a problem with retaining documentary info for prolonged periods of time.)

What these dudes are all about is primitivism, (I think that's a word.) living off the land, in the woods, hunter-gatherer type stuff and green-anarchism. Super Eco-friendly mentality. Tree-hugging stuff.


Next thing I remembered was the guys rocking my balls off. I was really into their set.

As I stated above, I ended up being pretty shit-hammered, and I have a habit of thinking things sound a lot better than I normally would if alcohol were not a factor.

After the show, I got a patch and and talked to the dudes a little more. They gave me a zine. I forget the title, so I suppose it's irrelevant, but I know my roommate and I were really into the publication, whatever it was. Topics the zine covered were primarily what I said earlier about primitivist living, green-anarchy, etc.

Anyway, a couple years have passed and I've frequently tried to remind myself to actually check them out again.

I did.

And I'm still pretty into it.

They are a self described "Green Metal" band. Black/death type shit with anarcho-eco-loving themes. Kinda crusty kid shit.

(I'm amending this post by putting one of the better tracks (in my opinion)on display. Most likely no person has seen this yet, so it probably doesn't matter...)



Check It Out.

Green Scare Benefit split with Auryn

Here's the other band on the Green Scare Benefit split.

Auryn is post-hardcorey-something or another. (I think I'm going to add "post" in front of every genre description for bands I put on here from now on.)

Solid enough. Worth a listening or three. My only complaint is about some vocals on the very last track. Waaaayy to whiney at points. What-ever. Good otherwise.
