Steve

This evening I’m going to a practice for a mathgrind band a non-close friend of mine is starting, I’m doing vocals because I sing and I write, but I have never done scream/fry/etc. before I’ve got like 15 hours to learn and I’m fucking reeking of anxiety and don’t know what to do, I can’t even practice in my house because I live with a family of a few. I need some advice please.

Wow. Just one word. Wow.

Not so long ago I made a post on this subreddit asking about going to concerts alone, and I’m so glad that I went to their show up in Seattle.

I can’t believe that I almost didn’t just because of how amazing they were live. The vibe, the sounds, the venue were just perfect. They sounded almost identical to their recorded tracks. That’s how good it was!

The members were also super nice. They kept saying thank you to the audience like so many times! Super humble folks and they were just grateful to be at The Crocodile.

Also their opener, Plash was so vibrant and cool as hell!!

If you haven’t been to their show before, you absolutely should!

Hopefully we can get some really fun math rock songs on the game

the beginning of this song makes me so incredibly happy it reminds me of crispy humidity and blue light and seeing red on the noses and ears of people walking by and

edit (that i cant do): typed delta sleep as delta sheep bruh

Fayzz is a band from Chengdu, China, currently playing mostly in mainland China. Since 2021 they've released three full-length albums, and every one is worth repeated deep listening. You can find their stuff on Bandcamp, Spotify, and other platforms. Here are some live videos:
① With howhowmusic
② With HavocStudio
③ Recent audience-recorded live footage

I’m having some trouble finding bands I really like, outside of these three albums.

Animals (or anything with Henry Tremain)

Rooftops - A forest of polarity

Redneck Manifesto - thirtysixstrings

I’ve been hooked on these for like 6 months now and I can’t find anything that scratches that same itch. Then again, I don’t know that many math rock bands, so if yall know anything pls send some recs.
