MMISL



Friend of mine left this CD in my car and after listening to them once I went back and re-listened a few times and they're currently one of my top post-hardcore/mathcore bands, ever. Listen to the tunes and it's like meeting a Rottweiler dressed up as a cuddly puppy.

Meet Me In St. Louis are a pure revelation. Angular, stark and technically beautiful, they peddle a gorgeous hybrid of eclectic noise. Without wanting to offer too many lazy comparisons, this would easily be at home on the mighty Dischord records, and shares similarities with Faraquet, HP Zinker and perhaps on a more contemporary tip, At The Drive In. It's altogether a more mature and considered approach to the whole affair though, blending cutting, jagged riffs with a carefully considered sensitivity.

You really can't go wrong with this album, I have no gripes with it. Album actually came out in 07' but that's really besides the point. Got a download link for those of you who are interested, click the pic.
