Shadows and the Silence

So this is a band I have very little information about. They've done two splits with bands already posted on this blog. I have their split with Choke their Rivers With Our Dead, and the other tour cd is the same tracks as the split with Robot's don't Cry. I don't know if they've released anything else. Anyway good stuff, check it out.

Edit, found this: First Tour CD

Second Tour CD

Split with Choke Their Rivers With Our Dead

Panserbjorne

These guys were from Toronto, and apparently released a split with Canadian celebs I Spoke. They're pretty aggressive, and kinda spazzy like a lot of bands coming out of Canada at this time. Minus their split with I Spoke (which might be the ep tracks below), this should be most of what they've released.

Green Bear EP

DDMMYY split (DDMMYY sound kind of similar, more melodic and electro'ie, check them too if that sounds appealing)

System 2600

This band is obviously most known as that random band that did a split with City of Caterpillar. It's kinda weird that even with that they have faded into pretty much total obscurity. They're actually really good, very nice instrumentals. Anyway, you should probably check them out if you haven't.

*local arrogance demo cd- 5 songs
*7th story split 7” 500 on pink wax (sea of dead pirates records)
*tour cd- 5 songs made on the road (basically contains both 7”s)
*city of caterpillar split 7” 400 silkscreened cover 100 special darby edition (sea of dead pirates records)
*electric wine cd ep - if you have one we probably know you 

Here's what they've released according to their last.fm. I have here both the 7"'s that they released, and some tracks off their myspace. What's missing is their demo, and the two other cd's. Would be cool to hear those some day.

Etchings

From Philadelphia active around 2003. Decent band, lots of jangly melodic parts, a little bit metal-core at times. I'm lacking their demo, and some promo cd, but here's their other release. Members went on to a whole bunch of stuff, I think the big one being Fighter Hayabusa, which I will probably post at one point as well.

Say Hi to your Folks

El Minotaur

From Springfield MO. They're pretty spastic with some really weird vocals at times. Here's their split with tunes for bears, and their demo. They have more stuff out there, which I unfortunately do not have.

Demo

Tunes for bears to dance to split

A Company of Heroes

From California, released one album in 2006. Alright stuff, pretty much sounds like typical stuff from that era, worth a listen though I'd say.

El Ahrairah

From Richmond VA. Brendan (vocals) and Tyler (guitar) went on to be in Stop It!! Jon Zanin (drums) was in a variety of other bands, most notably Tigershark, before passing away in a freak accident about a decade ago.

**Update - Found this as well. It's pretty good.

Bug Records - Rare and Previous Sampler

Devices

From Florida, sharing members with Jesse Washington, Heroes and Heresay, and Capsule. Kinda sounds like an early version of Capsule, with some similarities to other Florida bands. Check them out, decent stuff. No idea when they were active. I'm missing their split 7"'s according to their last.fm, and one of these releases isn't listed on the last.fm, so dunno about that.
