Piebald Calls It Quits

August 19, 2007 By Brett Panzer Leave a Comment

Piebald has announced on their website that they are throwing in the towel. Here is the statement from their website:

Friends, friends, friends…we have not posted anything anywhere in quite some time and our word on the street is that this is our last tour. All the preceding words are true and we have decided to put Piebald to rest. The past fifteen years or so have been nothing short of extremely incredible. We have met lots of people, been to lots of places and experienced a whole lot of life. In 1994 we started making music, screenprinting our own seven inch covers and borrowing our parents cars to get to shows. Since then, we have traveled the globe, released many records, and played thousands of shows; pedaling the righteous name of piebald to all whose paths we crossed. In celebration of the many years of good times and incredible accomplishments, we have decided to dedicate this tour to us; Piebald. Thanks to all who have helped in any and every way…families, friends, girlfriends, vans, bands, fans, promoters, labels, booking agent, lawyer, clubs, engineers, producers, and those who we forgot to mention. Now, this is not a teary eyed time, people. This is a time of new beginnings, positive vibes, and a congratulatory nod to the past. There has been talk of a few shows to give the band an official sendoff, but as of yet, those shows are not booked and unknown. Thanks for all the undying support. We love you.

Circa Survive – On Letting Go

August 11, 2007 By Brett Panzer 1 Comment

Circa Survive

Artist: Circa Survive
Album: On Letting Go
Label: Equal Vision
Purchase: Smart Punk
Release Date: May 29, 2007

Overall: 9.0
Music: 9.5
Lyrics: 8.5
Production: 9.0

“Living Together,” is the first track off of Circa Survive’s newest release On Letting Go. With its creepy, catchy, reverb drenched guitars I often have to remind myself that I’m not listening to their debut album Juturna. Surprisingly, this song is nothing like the other 11 tracks off On Letting Go which are, in a sense, a step up from Juturna. Sure, there are the hauntingly beautiful melodies on On Letting Go that made the previous disc a hit, but there are also many different elements that are, in my opinion, very unexpected. Circa Survive consists of members; Anthony Green (vocals), Brendan Ekstrom (guitar), Colin Frangicetto (guitar), Nick Beard (bass), and Steve Clifford (drums).

The album in it’s entirety is very, very well written with none of the songs, in my opinion, on the boring or lackluster side. Stand-out tracks include; the acoustic, ballad-like “Kicking Your Crosses Down” where Green shows his best vocal performance on the album. Other stand-out tracks include “Semi Constructive Criticism” where it starts with Green singing a few words to 2 guitar chords and then speeds up so unexpectedly that it’s comparable to a kick in the face, if you will, then slows back down to the normal Circa Survive tempo. Then there is, in my opinion, the best track on the album “Your Friends Are Gone” which is also the most unique song on the disc. It begins with a fairly poppy guitar riff that you would never expect to hear from a band of this genre, and then picks up into a good paced, catchy song. Overall, I am very impressed with this release, and I would probably call it one of the best records of 2007.

Track Listing
1. Living Together
2. In The Morning And Amazing
3. The Greatest Lie
4. The Difference Between Medicine And Poison Is In The Dose

7. Semi Constructive Criticism
8. Kicking Your Crosses Down
9. On Letting Go
10. Carry Us Away
