June 5 2013 9:00PM -- doors at 8:30PM ••• ALL AGES $12 in advance / $14 at the door Tigers Jaw tigersjaw.tumblr.com/ grunge indie rock pop Pianos Become The Teeth pianosbecometheteeth.bandcamp.com/ post-hardcore, screamo, melodic hardcore, post-rock Sainthood Reps sainthoodreps.com/ indie rock Tigers Jaw Tigers Jaw is an indie rock band from Scranton, Pennsylvania. They have three albums, a self-titled album on Prison Jazz Records, which was re-released in 2010 on Run for Cover Records, a split EP with Balance and Composure on Run for Cover Records, and a new album Two Worlds on Run for Cover Records. They also released a 7-inch, "Spirit Desire", in 2009, on Tiny Engines Records. The punk music website AbsolutePunk gave their debut record a generally positive review, noting that "Tigers Jaw is fueled by emotionally-driven lyrics brought to life by vocalist Adam McIlwee, whose voice is one of those that reveal passion while at the same time giving the impression that he's barely trying. Aforementioned opener "The Sun" is one of the better tracks on the album, offering up a well-organized mix of Tigers Jaw's two personas." Also reviewing the debut, another punk music website Punknews.org cited that the tracks "'Plane vs. Tank vs. Submarine' and 'Chemicals' both [...] feature some solid guitar work in the form of weeping, goosebump-inducing solos. Strong vocal harmonies and bouncy guitar work carry both "I Saw Water" and "Heat" to heights other bands would have a hard time reaching." The band's name is a reference to a song by lo-fi band The Microphones. They also have a number of songs whose titles reference songs by the band. -On March 21 2013, Tigers Jaw made an announcement on their tumblr: "After our show in Scranton two weeks ago, Adam, Pat, and Dennis let Ben and I know that for personal reasons they are unable to do Tigers Jaw anymore. This was a surprise for the both of us, but everyone is on good terms, and we respect and support them and their decisions. A full band Tigers Jaw lineup (consisting of Ben and I with the help of some talented friends) will be doing a full US tour in May-June as well as the UK dates of the previously announced tour with the Menzingers in August. We regret to announce that we will have to cancel the mainland Europe dates. We apologize to the promoters, venues, and anyone who bought tickets. These are likely to be the last Tigers Jaw tours for the foreseeable future. US tour dates will be announced soon. Thanks. - Brianna" Pianos Become The Teeth Pianos Become The Teeth is an American post-hardcore band that formed in 2006. They perform a style of music inspired by post-rock and early screamo acts, and are a part of "The Wave"—an in-joke began by friends Touche Amore, La Dispute, Defeater, and Make Do And Mend, all playing a form of post-hardcore music. The group reissued their well received debut album Old Pride in 2010 through Topshelf Records. Sainthood Reps Sainthood Reps is an American indie rock band from Long Island, New York, formed in 2009. Their debut album, Monoculture, was released on Tooth & Nail Records in the summer of 2011 and was produced by Mike Sapone. In January, the band released a split EP with O'Brother. Guitarist is Derrick Sherman, also touring guitarist for Brand New. Andrew Leahey of AllMusic describes the band's music as "a moody mix of post-grunge, hard rock, and post-hardcore", while Brian, a staff writer at Punknews.org, said of the band's split EP, "Like O'Brother, the band mixes indie rock brood and post-rock atmosphere, but with a little more obvious melody and verse-chorus structure." Montesanto himself has described Sainthood Reps' music as simply "loud" and "early '90s alternative". Influences cited by the band include Fugazi, Nirvana, Mogwai, The Cohen Brothers, The Jesus Lizard, Built to Spill, Dinosaur Jr., Sunny Day Real Estate, Explosions in the Sky, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, and Yuck. |
