Colossus of Roads

on tour in winter of 2007

   Colossus of Roads were a band from San Diego, California

they were active in the late 2000's i'm pretty sure, my only basis of this is their myspace says they toured in the winter of 07'

Their play a chaotic style of emo sort of akin to Joshua Fit For Battle and Neil Perry

They only ever released 7 songs, one of which is a reworked version of an earlier demo.

They had a self titled 7" on Ape Must Not Kill Ape Records 

My friend Connor showed me this band, he's in rehab, or jail, or something of the sort

I miss our conversations dearly, He has an OG press of the IWHACIYY 12" that he picked up when they were still active

I was too young to be into emo at the time 

dude is an index of 'obscuremo' as he calls it.

Malon

Reverie (2012)

Malon, (rhymes with alone) were a band from San Diego that were active from 2012 to 2013 (i think).

I found out about them when i heard flowers taped to pens cover "your invitation"  by malon.

Upon spending too much time on the internet i found out that Connie (FTTP, Avari, Meryl Streaker, Rene Descartes, Seeyouspacecowboy, S//A Records) was friends with someone from Malon in high school. (is it weird that i know that, probably) 

Malon are the reason i finally watched requiem for a dream (they sample it a bunch and the album art for Portraits of Dying is from the movie). 

They've got a lot of heavy shit and a lot of not heavy shit. I'm bad at describing bands.

What i like the most about malon are how sincere they sound.
My favorite Malon album is Reverie, (pictured above)

Under a Red Sky is a beautiful song and fucks me up a bit every time i listen. I miss hearing them for the first time and being floored listen after listen. Not many bands do that to me anymore, i think i've become jaded, maybe i was just a more emotional person at 15-16.

I miss those days.

I posted some Malon song on youtube and have been pestered by people wanting the files ever since. I actually made a really good friend that way and I miss him dearly.

hey if tracklisting is fucked up for anything i post ever please let me know and i'll send it to you,

i'm new to mediafire and whatnot so yeah bare w me (bear?) (idfk)

Deers!

wooh!

I woke up today at three and decided to get some film developed, ended up skating for a minute and ended up listening to this kid who i know for a fact is not vegan, tell people that he was vegan, i hate parties,i have a wicked sore throat that's keeping me from falling asleep, on top of the usual insomnia, life sucks, anyway ANYWAY
Deers!
Deers! were a band from sacramento california (i think) and were active in 2009. I don't know how long Deers! lasted and I don't know when they started but i do know that they're kick ass. Screechy, passionate vocals over some really cool riffs. I think they've got the best breakdowns an emo band can have, those basslines kill me every time. I know they played a show with Touche Amore, which is pretty cool to me, that band seems to keep it real, i know jeremy fuccs with a lot of emo. Plus Elliot was in a powerviolence band called Duke Nukem Forever way back when.
I wrote a riff one time and realized it was a part of 'parts two and three'
A year or so ago i found a video of Deers! playing live and lost it until recently so I'm gonna throw that wherever blogspot plops the videos (i'm bad with computers) My favorite song is the last on their discography cassette, it's called "sorry i'm just a little" though i'm pretty sure there's more to that title that's what it's called on youtube. That song gets to me.


Here's a link to their discography cassette, i'm unsure if the tracklisting is fucked up, i just made a mediafire to upload stuff today


Discography Cassette 

Heroin

Heroin s/t 1997 (link)

Heroin started in 1989 in San Diego, their debut 7" was Gravity Records debut release as well. I don't have too much to say, music speaks for itself, my favorite Heroin song has to be "[Untitled Track]" which i've also heard is called "destination" but because i heard it first as the [Untitled Track] that's what i refer to it as. 

I wish more bands played in this style nowadays. I'm an idiot and don't know enough about guitar to mimic the style with my band. 

I found a heroin 12" at thrillhouse records in San Francisco, found a lot of other cool shit there too, I left a copy of Cryonics by Hot Cross there cause i found something i didn't recognize with the Ebullition stamp on it, and another record with the Level Plane logo on it. Off Minor is a better band than hot cross anyway.

Maybe you could find that copy of Cryonics there still.
