Morning Wood (Italian)

THIS IS NOT MORNING WOOD FROM NEW YORK!


Any band that starts off their lone release with a clip of someone reading Kafka is A-OK with me. Morning Wood is, like every other band I've been listening to, Italian, and play some really sweet screamo! They come from Arezzo, and in my mind they have picnics with La Quiete and Raein. Like I said earlier, they have one release out right now, but, they are putting out a split soon, so look out for that shit. They are going on tour around Easter in Germany with the band Chinese Drama, so any readers across the ocean GO CHECK THAT SHIT OUT AND REPORT BACK TO US! I don't know for sure if they are signed, but, they are somehow affiliated with Dance Tonight records. I encourage all of you, yes that means you, to buy their t-shirt and patches as well. You can contact them at: epilogueofacarcrash@hotmail.it OR morningwood@hotmail.it we encourage you to buy everything.

Here's the space. (These dudes are really cool and will actually talk to you on myspace if you comment them.)

And here's the album!

K.C.Milian

K.C. Milian was an Italian instrumental band. They released one demo, a split with La Quiete, and an EP. Their sound is more chilled out, like Explosions In The Sky, but has some pretty sweet buildups. They are not very mathy or rocking, like Tera Melos and By The End Of Tonight, but their song layouts are similar to that of Piglet. Also, some songs have a trumpet, and another has some buried/distant screaming, but I can't really decipher what they are saying, so it may be in Italian, unlike Raein who tend to have English vocals. I read on a blog that the guitarist has tried to start other bands, but none have been as successful. It was really hard to find these albums, especially Season//Repeat. I can't find any videos, but, here are both of their last.fm accounts where you can hear their songs. They have two because their name is commonly misspelled, so heres number 1 and 2. Enjoy!

Magdalene

I just literally discovered these guys a few days ago. Magdalene is a band from Pisa, Italy that crafts powerful screamo songs by making use of post-rock aspects and build-ups. I believe they played the recent Anti-MTV Fest in Italy that big names like Raein also played. The band is comprised of four dudes - two guitarists, a bassist, and and a drummer. Other than that, I don't really know anything about these guys except that they make wonderful music! It's really heartfelt stuff and you should definitely check them out.

Oh before, I forget - one of the things that grabbed me about this band is some of the great artwork their myspace page features - it's always nice to see bands using visual art to compliment the music, and either these guys have real talented friends, or are real talented artists themselves. Below is a sample of some of the shit they have posted up, the rest can be found at their myspace page.

Raein

This one's for you Lil' Wilky. Raein is one of the best screamo bands ever. These guys have a sound similar to bands like l'antietam and Daitro. They are Italian, and just got back together; they went on a break for a while because they all moved away, but they just recorded a new album and played some shows, shit is sick. They are either a 5 or 6 piece; some videos they have 2 guitars, and others they have 3. All you really need to know is that they kick so much ass.
This band shares members with another legendary skramz act La Quiete. I have below every album I have of theirs. You should go to places like Slave Union or something and buy all their stuff, so when they get really big you can sell the solid copies for alchohol money, or heath insurance. Here we've got their Myspace, Last.fm, and for real official site.


Here we have a video from Fluff Fest.
