(record review)BIRDS IN ROW-“We already lost the world”(Deathwish Inc)

The European hardcore punk scene gave birth to many excellent bands and labels, so many individuals, promoters, zine makers and I just love that I live in the times when the scene is like the living being, constantly evolving, constantly changing and growing. Today I listened and reviewed the new Birds in row record for this webzine.

Cover

Birds in row are coming from Laval, France, and this new record contains nine new songs of exceptional hardcore punk emotions. These guys deliver their unique special brand of hardcore punk with many screamo, post hardcore, noise and dark pop influences. The vocals are screamed but heartfelt and somehow I managed to relate to the songs and fall into the atmosphere of this album. This is the very varied album considering the style, and it doesn˙t get boring, not one second! For me the highlights of the album are “We vs Us” with almost darkened pop beggining and “I don´t dance” for which you can watch the video below. This music is like darkened art. It sometimes falls hard upon the listener but it also drives you to listen to it again and discover new soundscapes you never heard before. A bit different hardcore but great, diversity is the beauty of our beloved scene.

Indie Vision Music was founded on July 4th 2000 with the intent to share positive, uplifting, and hopeful music of substance with a global audience. What started with humble beginnings as a simple self-run webstore, blossomed into a label and a webzine in 2005 which has been going strong ever since. In 2017, the label began again with the signing of bands like Light The Way, At The Wayside, Mainframe, Must Build Jacuzzi, The Prettybads, Names Without Numbers, and Grandpa Loves Rhinos.

This fall marks the end of the IVM Record Label with the shifting of focus back to what made Indie Vision Music great – An independent site built around community and faith-based music exposure. While there won’t be a label, Indie Vision Music will certainly not fade away. Big plans are in store for running the site on into the future.

“It just became too overwhelming on a personal level to run a label, a site, work full time outside of music, taking care of a family of 5, etc. This site and label has always been run by one person, me, and I can’t help but feel a great deal of stress trying to manage it all. I took DIY to a whole other level literally. One guy can only do so much. So, with that said, I hope you enjoy the website for the foreseeable future and that you’ll continue to support these awesome bands. It has been a total pleasure working with such talented individuals and releasing albums I truly care about – Brandon Jones/IVM”

You can find all 3 “Family & Friends Samplers” on iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify, Tidal, Bandcamp, and more.

(news)DENS JOIN THE FACEDOWN FAMILY

DENS have found a perfect niche in the space between energetic rock and contemplative ambience. They create an experience that drowns the listener in guitar-driven post-rock and vocal hooks while leaving plenty of room for lyrical exploration. From a wide view DENS are a rock band, although the nuances in their sound send tendrils out into shoegaze, ambient, post-rock, and indie rock concepts. These subtleties put them right at home with Facedown labelmates My Epic, Everything In Slow Motion, and Comrades.

DENS find their mission in using music as a platform to creatively and honestly explore the themes of faith, hope, redemption and grace. The band self-released their debut “From Small Seeds Come Giant Trees” in 2016, and the single “Hopebringer” with Come&Live in 2017. Now Facedown Records is proud to announce “No Small Tempest,” DENS’ highly anticipated four-song follow up to “Small Seeds” releasing June 29.
