It almost felt like ages…I am not flaking out; I just couldn’t find the right time to do any updates. Beside there is nothing much to share and whine about and beside I don’t think you guys missing me that much, right? Well I am in a celebratory mood this past couple of days thanks to England missing out on next year Euro Championship. Believe me; things couldn’t get much better than knowing that a bunch of over hype mega-rich footballers couldn’t make it to a major tournament. Pussies…
Anyway, I was reading Give Me Back #2 this afternoon and came across a review of Kias Fansuri demo in it. For those of you who have been living in a cave or something, Kias Fansuri consists of one dude from the mighty UTARID (I am sure the rest of the bands played in some other bands before, but none of them were mindblowing so there is no point in referring them). Yeah I am sure most of you have no idea who UTARID was as well, but what the heck. Go here for some info on Kias Fansuri and here for some info on Utarid. Thank me later ok.
After reading what I believe to be one of the most boring zine I’d ever lay my hand on, I decided to go look for the Kias Fansuri CDr that I got like a year ago or something like that. It was some sort of tour edition CDr that consists of songs from their upcoming releases. It might as well be their first demo because I got it much earlier than the 3 songs demo tape that was reviewed in Give Me Back #2. Although I knew one of the dudes from Kias Fansuri quite well, I couldn’t be arsed to ask him about this fact. Beside I am sure he is busy humping all the groupies he can get his hand on (wink wink) and would not be bothered with something so inane and boring. FYI, the release was limited to 111 and I got number 75, how’s that for some scene point?
After a few spin I concluded that Kias Fansuri deserve to be heard by everyone that are not afraid to let their ear bleed to some kick ass emotive hardcore or to be referred as pussy by their friends who listen to Lamb of God and Hatebreed. I was about to rip my own copy of the release, but this awesome blog have done all the dirty work for me. You can even download Kias Fansuri 3 songs demo off that kick ass blog. Thanks a lot dude, whoever you are. But that is not all; go here and download Shove Records edition of the Kias Fansuri CDr. I know those who collect files will be going gaga over this. Nothing beat those different edition mp3s man…
Since I mentioned Hatebreed, do check out XO Skeletons because that band rules. They even let people download their album for free. Don’t let the Hatebreed connection scares you. Boring tough guy beatdown mosh metal that makes people dance like idiots this is not. In fact, it reminds me of Atom and His Package. If you are down with Atom and His Package, do check out XO Skeletons. That is if you can tolerate something that’s fun.
