Well, first off I would like to bring to your attention a wonderful video/music site called Ifyoumakeit.com. Ifyoumakeit.com is run by Halo Fauna/State Lottery/Kudrow/The Golden Age of Radio/Thousandaires drummer Dave Garwacke (who's last name is strangly similar to mine). The site features videos of live shows from a large host of punk/indie bands (so many, that I can't even give you a few names, just go to the site), as well as their acoustic series "The Pink Couch Sessions." Halo Fauna's Eric Ayotte and Dom Armao also created a rather hilarious series of short films called 31 Movies In 31 Days. In addition to their videos, the site also hosts free/donation downloads from many bands, most of which have been documented on film as well.
This is where this EP comes in. Fuck Your Emotional Bullshit has been on the site for a while, but I've had yet to listen to it. I downloaded it out of curiosity as I very often do, and I was pretty impressed. Mind you, Snowing isn't doing anything new or groundbreaking here. The band reminds me a lot of Braid. It sounds like there's two singers, and the instrumentation is incredibly technical. Actually, this band is the closest thing to Braid since...well...Braid.
To make this review short and sweet, this 5 song EP is quite a good one. The guitars are pretty mind-blowing, much like Braid. The songs are very, very catchy. I'll want to learn all these songs tomorrow, it's much too late to do so now. They saved the best, heaviest hitting song for last with "Methuselah Rookie Card." It's a solid cut, and we can only hope for more from this band. I'm going to do some research on these guys for sure.
I'll give this one a 3.5 out of 5, because there's plenty of room for further development here, but I recommend you download (AND DONATE!).
