HEY THERE ALL YOU BROMO-SAPIENS-
i’ve been snacking on some tasty NorCal math rock, topped with sultry post-hardcore seasonings.  The now defunct Twain Harte is like, the bajillionth band with complex, catchy and fun music you can get into.  It’s upbeat with a lot of jarring guitar lines that still maintain to go easy on the ears and get stuck in your head.  i can for sure see some punk influences throughout the disk, both stylistically and how you can feel the energy in a similar way. 

Personally, i think the vocals fit well with the whole down-to-earth way they play, just seeming to have fun.  They mainly shout, but vary the delivery (ATD-I) in a way where it doesn’t get monotonous.  This kind of music is all about release, so the harsh singing may not sit well with some listeners.

Too bad these guys had to break up so fast, they’re supah-young.  Have a gander at this little NUGGET

Well i guess that’s about it, try a listen, spread the good word
