Midnight Drive

 


Found here on this Reddit thread. From Reston, VA Circa 2002. Now you know just as much as I do. There may be some connection to The Catalyst Really from googling, but I can't find anything else. Sick stuff here. Lots and lots of melodic breakdowns, inbetween your usual emo/metal material. Vocals alternate between quite high to almost raspy like vincent black shadow. It feels pretty well produced metal-tinged stuff. No idea on the popularity level being so low.

From you smell like paste (dead link tho)

I don't know anything about this band, their last.fm page is emptier than my head and the bands name is hard to search through on google. Great sound though, their music is a tad bit traditional, as in you've heard something like this before, but what've you got left to complain about? Similar artists on last.fm are Schematic of a Waking Life and XVPOPDMX all the while they have been tagged as grindcore and they don't sound anything like grindcore. Skramz and Jamz.

I have very little info on this either. My files say I downloaded this in 2007, so around that era. No idea on country, but singer sounds mostly North American, but oddly australian or something at times. I lagged on posting this because I think I thought poorly of it originally, but hearing a request for it recently made me listen to it, and it kinda goes hard. Check it out.

Shitty Blogging, but active youtubing

 I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I've been a lot more active on youtube and really lagging with posting things here on the blogspot. I think the dopamine hit of posting on youtube is just a lot higher and there's a lot more engagement there.

The problem with that is that there are no downloads on youtube, and that's ideally what people want. People also want information on these bands, that is what the purpose of this blog is (should) be. I'll really try to shape up and get things better updated on here. I've just been lazy and having fun with youtube.

Hope everyone's well. Stay calm and cool, and don't give in to disinformation.
