AT THE DRIVE-IN - EL GRAN ORGOA lot of people either don't know about or choose to ignore this EP when looking back on ATDI's career for a few reasons: the band hadn't entirely found their voice yet, for one (this being more melodic than anything they did before or after), and this is their only release sans Jim Ward, the driving force behind the band that wasn't Cedric Bixler-Zavala. Anyway, more than a few glimpses at how amazing this band was going to become are offered here, so check it out!

UNDEROATH - CRIES OF THE PASTUnderoath?! UNDEROATH?! Yup. Years before they were tearing up the charts and pressing Hot Topic exclusives, they were playing some pretty legit metal. But were they the same band? Yes and no; two (of six) members from this release remain in the band, neither of which are Dallas Taylor. So yeah, if you want to try liking this band or just want to have license to be a dick to people who love (new) Underoath, here ya go.

DAZZLING KILLMEN - DIG OUT THE SWITCHSome good ol' mathy noise rock from a good ol' mathy noise rock band. Pretty abrasive stuff on the whole, held together by some very competent musicians and some pretty great songwriting. I might rip off more Skin Graft releases in the future depending on how I feel, but this one may or may not be in print.
