Macconnell - You Can't Take Us Anywhere

EDIT: Brian, the drummer of Macconnell, unfortunately passed away in an automobile accident on September 4, 2010. It is a shame to see a life like his cut so short and we now will never know the potential of him and what his band could accomplish. Brian was a great dude and is and will be missed. RIP Brian.

This is a post for my homies:

Macconnell - You Can't Take Us Anywhere.

For fans of Hot Water Music, Foo Fighters, Leatherface, The Draft.

Macconnell is my current favorite local band - I am thoroughly impressed with their songs so far and cannot wait to hear even newer jams. I am not saying this because they are my friends, I am saying this because it is true.

Also, hit up their FACEBOOK PAGE to hear and extra song not on the demo and check out a video of them I took from a show in March HERE.

Life Detecting Coffins

In my opinion, probably the best band from Orange County, NY (just waiting for the response comment on that) and when you share members with Off Minor, it's not hard to see why.

Haunting, simple melodies dancing amongst sparse monotone vocals summarize Life Detecting Coffins interesting and original sound. You can hear influences of Fugazi, Black Flag, At The Drive-In and early 90's screamo.

Catatonic Begat Napoleonic

Bill Tone, I still want your guitar, but Dave Grohl had to steal that shit.
