Stolas - Solunar

     I've written about post-hardcore band Stolas before, but they've got a new record coming out (on none other than Blue Swan) so it's high time they got another day in the spotlight.

     "Solunar", the first song to be released from the forthcoming Allomaternal, is a bit of a step up from material off the band's previous record Living Creatures. It's not worlds different, but it's tighter, more energetic, fleeter-fingered. More of the same, but done better.

     Of course, this means that if you didn't dig their style of post-hardcore before, you probably still won't be interested. But it also means that if you're a fan of old Stolas, or Hail the Sun from the other day, or even a little Dance Gavin Dance really, then you should find a lot to like in what we've heard so far of the new Stolas material. Go see which camp you're in right now.

Song of the Day: Stolas - Medusa

     I pride myself on being able to bring you new stuff every once in a while, stuff that you hopefully haven't heard yet and that you might get a kick out of. It's not every day that I find something new and cool, but I'm always pleased when I can. Today is one of those days.
