Animal Faces

Animal Faces are a three piece screamo band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They released their first EP Analytical Dreaming in 2010. It's screamo in the vien of The Reptilian. This is the best melding of math rock into screamo that I've heard and Ryan has an awesome desperate shout. Dude signed my album when I saw them in Toronto with Xerxes and Pianos Become The Teeth.

Animal Faces released their second EP this year Anomie and it's every bit as good. The songwriting has improved but the basic sound of the band hasn't changed. It's everything I liked about the first album, the guitars that come and go out of nowhere, the rolling drums and that same desperate shout.

Nai Harvest - Feeling Better

Nai Harvest are a two piece emo band from Sheffield, Uk. They play a very energetic punk flavour of emo with lots of melodic lead guitar riffs flying everywhere and emotional screams that propel everything forward. Feeling Better is their fourth EP, released by Pinky Swear, A Mountain Far and Struggletown and it's every bit as good as their first ep Ceiling Summer. They've lost a bassist but the sound doesn't suffer at all, I'm more of a fan of this thinner, more energetic sound than a lot of the thicker punk I hear. If there was less energy or desperately shouted vocals this could very well pass for indie rock but it's the jump straight in the air energy that really keeps everything going.
