Albums Of The Year (Industry Folk): David F. Bello of The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die

The second in our industry folk albums of the year lists comes from David F Bello of The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, arguably the biggest success story of 2013 with the mindblowingly good "Whenever, If Ever" winning hearts from all corners of the internet as well as minor success on the Billboard 200. 

1. Self Defense Family - Try Me
This just came out and made everything else that came out in 2013 feel like garbage.

 




















2. Dawn of MIDI - Dysnomia
A long, confusing instrumental groove. 


3. Rozwell Kid - Unmacho
Imagine a universe where Weezer kept getting better after Pinkerton instead of more and more awful. This is the album that alternate Weezer would release in 2013.



4. Longmont Potion Castle - Volume 10I want to drape giant sheets of magnet over my lasers. I'm not talking about oysters, here.


 5. Animal Logic - I Hate my Voice and Everything that I Say
I like Ian's voice and everything that he says.
 

6. Speedy Ortiz - Major Arcana
The riff from "No Below" is on a constant loop in my head. 


7. Kirin J. Callinan - Embracism
First heard this guy by watching the weird, upside-down video for "Landslide" and the whole thing sounds like it's upside-down. 


8. Deafheaven - Sunbather
When you want to listen to black metal but you also want to sip cranberry vodka and blog about it.


 9. Ancient Shores / Cynarae - Split LP
I have a soft spot for the Ancient Shores half, but the entire thing will punish you. 




10. The Knife - Shaking the Habitual 
Wonderfully frustrating pop.

McCafferty Split Up

Sadly, Ohio folk/pop/punkers McCafferty have decided to split up. Read their statement below. Dear Everyone, I'm sorry. It is with great sadness and excitement that I inform you all that McCafferty is coming to an end. I am going to be starting to teach soon, and I am required to get a background check, and I don't believe tha t McCafferty is a professional, respectful representation of myself as a newly trained teacher entering the field of Special Education. Music will always have a place in my heart, but my true passion is teaching. I am leaving the scene of DIY antics to follow my pursuit into adulthood, and I am so happy to have shared my bands music with you all. We truly are the essence of a real DIY band. We came into the scene as a dying star that was doomed to go out in the near future, and that time is now. I have already deleted our twitter/other social media websites but I feel that you all deserve an explanation of what is happening. To all the kids who listen...

Interview: Moose Blood (May 5, 2013)

Hi there, Moose Blood! Suppy. Who is Moose Blood and how did you get together? The band is Eddy & Mark on guitar and vocals, Kyle on bass and myself (Glenn) on drums. Kyle has actually just joined the band but the rest of us got together last Summer after Eddy had sent us home demos of a few songs that he wanted to make a band out of. We wrote a few more songs over the Summer, played our first show in October and recorded the Moving Home EP about a week after that. What are you up to at the moment? We’re constantly writing and just playing as many shows as possible really. We’ve just released a double A-side single ‘Boston//Orlando’ and we’re working on our next release at the moment which will be coming out later this year. Really stoked with how everything’s going. How was the process behind Moving Home? Moving Home was pretty much all written by Eddy before the band started, everybody added their own ideas and parts to it when we got together to pra...
