I don’t think I’ve listened to screamo in a long time. Mostly because the genre got old really fast and the same thing over and over got tiring for more people than just me. Notwithstanding, this album landed in my inbox and I listened to it, and to be completely honest I was blown away. Pianos Become the Teeth have made an album that is a perfect reminder of why this kind of music was made in the first place and have done so brilliantly.
It’s not like this album is a new genre, or the style is something different from anything else that’s been done before, because it’s not at all, but it’s still fucking amazing. I wouldn’t consider myself some sort of screamo aficionado, I haven’t got my PhD in electric engineering and design my own guitar pedals or anything. I usually get annoyed with the kind of bands that push a bunch of pedals and make a lot of noise. But there’s something about “Old Pride” that aims directly for the heart and doesn’t miss.
Barry Moore was born under a rock and the modern world scared him, so he went to school to cope with its affects only to find out that he wasn't crazy. Everyone else is. So he wears outfits of satin and lace and plants a garden every spring. He listens to music because he thinks it has some sort of artistic value and gets frustrated with other people that he considers less intelligent for not thinking the same way he does. Sometimes he decides this is unintelligent behavior. Most of the time he just fits right in with everybody else who thinks their way is the best way. Until then, all he knows is that he doesn't know, and his first failure will fade over time, so he'll get up and write again.
If you are young, have nothing better to do, like bad music, but like to criticize bands you know nothing about then send an email to info @ indierockreviews.com
