La Dispute definitely fills the gap for those who are looking for some post-hardcore. Not only does it fill that gap, it keeps that gap full for a while. Not only do they have some interesting (and sometimes original) experimentation on this side of post-hardcore, but they play the genre at top of its game; and topping almost any other band around today playing in this genre. Beyond all the mediocrity and signing of acts that don’t deserve it, I just a hope a band like La Dispute will pick up steam at least in the underground community and people will realize that this band is meant for much bigger, better things.
