Masiro - EP

These are an Oxford based instrumental ex duo, now trio - though I believe a duo on this recording. Think they class/describe themselves as mathcore types, yeah I'd go with that maybe adding heavy math rock meets post hardcore, with a dose of noise just to fit in the nna classification style.. Important question is though are these guys any good? Err yep defo say if anything in the descrip catches you check um out. Local side note peeps from the Thame/Chinnor crew will recognise the drummer in this. Anyways this is up name the price on their bandcamp. MasiroEP

The Milford Higgins - For No Reason

Ok so was a big fan of these guys last release Destroyer, so pretty happy to see this Californian four piece back with a new offering. This time they have still come up with the goods, sticking with the same basic premise of the math and post hardcore vein. Having said that the sound does seem to have matured somewhat, possibly shifted slightly more to the indie end of the spectrum.. Anyways some good shit, this time being released through the plastic skull records though still able to be got there on the name the price tag. For No Reason

New Bastard Eye Scream


 So these are back with three new tunes. Was a big fan of their last record so pretty psyched to hear more tunes from these so soon. Only had the chance to have a few listens through so far but all sounds pretty darn good to me. Up on the bandcamp for the price you name sweet. Bastard Eye Scream

The Zero Years - Ghosts Move In Silence And I Don't Talk A Lot

The Zero Years are back with a follow up from their last EP from October last year. Sticking with the instrumental math sounds these guys have made a fair amount of progress in the last eight months and have come back with another totally solid EP. This is just as catchy as the last record and with all round higher production quality defo a good un.

Lafopaes - Session 2013

Swiss trio rocking instrumental, chugging type maths on the heavier end of the spectrum. Session 2013

Insouciant - Variable Resistor

Foursome playing tunes mostly rooted in the post punk to the post hardcore end of things, packaged within that are also some pretty cool mathier moments.. Vocals being in the shouty to screamo ish type vein. Pretty cool jams and on the name the price price. Variable Resistor
