Murder In The Red Barn

I don't often do posts on older tunes, but I've done a few on bands connected with hero of a hundred fights, which these are.. Plus these are seriously good in their own right, and also their tunes are fairly hard to come by. So these were about early 2000s era and kinda played a experimental math rock infused with post hardcore and such. Did a bit of searching about and put a file together with everything I could find which consists of a self titled ep, get in before the rain and some unreleased tunes. These are one of those bands really worth getting to know if you didn't already. I would say they were underrated, but I think it's more a case of under listened..  Collected MITRB

Family Planning - Family Planning

Dublin based trio playing tunes in the realms of math/punk/noise rock type stuff. Probably more to the noise and punk end of things over the math spectrum, but good tunes none the less. Offered up on the name the price price over their bandcamp ways. Family Planning

Chia Roscuro - Southern Dogface

Mathy four piece from South Carolina. These guys mix up all sorts from prog to to funk and reggae.. They manage to pull it off nicely too. Be quite interesting to hear what these do with more time put into the recording. Up on the bandcamp for full on free. Southern Dogface

Psychojets - Flights

So these are back with a couple new tunes. Good stuff because I enjoyed their last record. Still keeping with the busy and interesting kind of post rock. Sadly looks like this one will be their last as it sounds like they are parting ways. Flights

Colours - Tetrachromacy

These kind of remind me a bit of future 1983 which in my book is a really good thing. Would place these a bit more along to post hardcore end of the spectrum. Good tunes for sure though. Tetrachromancy

Ditch Tiger - Old Growth

These are a five piece from Idaho, playing what is mostly a punk and post hardcore sort of affair with decent touches of math influences to spice things up a bit. Defo been enjoying the last couple of days. Up on the bandcamp name the price well worth checking. Old Growth

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

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.

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

Crucial - Crucial

A four piece from Collinsville. Rocking an instrumental mix that incorporates math, jazz and prog sounds. Couple of long tracks on here, one being over seventeen minutes, which still manages to go down well without sounding drawn out. The whole record was recorded live, not that you can really tell.. Up on their bandcamp name the pricer. Crucial
