A week or two ago I wrote a post about I Am Giant, the latest project from a couple of members of now-apparently-defunct British post-rock/metal band Exit Ten. Today, listening to some of this very band, it occurred to me that there's a decent chance you didn't know who I was talking about. It has, after all, been a while since I featured a song of theirs. Time to fix that? I think so.
To that end, tonight you're getting a tasty five-minute slice of heavy and melodic post-rock (the lack of harsh vocals leads me to hesitate before typing "post-hardcore") in the form of "Resume Ignore", originally from Exit Ten's 2006 EP This World They'll Drown (as heard at the link above) and later re-recorded for the band's 2008 debut LP Remember the Day. It's not going to blow your balls of with heaviness, but I for one think it's got enough head-noddy groove and chunky riffing to please even fans of much heavier persuasions. Check it out and lament that these guys are yet another band that can be filed under "indefinite hiatus".

Friday: I Am Giant - Russian Doll
Don't say anything now, but I'm actually almost caught up with real time. But rather than spoil it by calling attention to it, I'm just going to keep plugging away until the plugging's done. This time out, I've got another mini connection to exploit connecting your Friday song back to a band I've written about a couple of times before.
Does the name Exit Ten ring any bells for any of you? They're a now-essentially-defunct British post-rock/hardcore/whatever band whose 2008 album Remember the Day I very much enjoy. Unfortunately, they're on an indefinite hiatus, and those have a disconcerting tendency to become permanent, but at least a few of the members of Exit Ten are up to something in the meantime.
Frontman Ryan Redman and guitarist Stuart Steele have gotten themselves hooked up with I Am Giant, another British purveyor of catchy and interesting heavy rock. Ryan in particular is a recent addition, and the guys released their first track with Ryan a couple of weeks ago. "Russian Doll" should appeal if you dug Exit Ten, or if big jams are your thing. This one's not complicated or anything, but it's still tasty nonetheless.
