Suffix and Beau Navire - 2011 Split 7-Inch


Band : Suffix and Beau Navire
Album : Split 7-Inch
Release Year : 2011
Genre : Screamo | Emo Violence

Tracklist :
 A1 - Suffix - Post Rock Is For Lovers
A2 - Suffix - Get Pitted
B1 - Beau Navire - Space Heaters
B2 - Beau Navire - Scattered Trails
B3 - Beau Navire - Sanctus Locus

Three new Beau Navire tracks and two new from Suffix. Beau Navire is from the San Francisco bay area and has members of Spires, Loma Prieta and Iwrotehiakusaboutcannabalisminyouryearbook. Suffix is from Chicago and has members of Coping and Lautrec.

This split is hard hitting. Suffix has the A side. The vocals are pretty harsh, but they sound fucking great. The instrumentation and quality is pretty boss too. Really catchy riffs and good lyrics. I have a crush on their vocalist. I never really paid much attention to this band until now; hate to say I was missing out.

Beau Navire is, by process of elimination, side B. Their side starts out spacey, then gets really spastic and wild. Their recording quality on this record is different than their other releases: a little more lo-fi and the guitars are lower in the mix. This side of the record, in general, sounds way more experiential than anything else I have heard by them. Still driving punk parts and skrimzy what-have-yous, but there are a few added elements. Solid side though.

Suffix - 2010 No Matter How Fast We Run


Band : Suffix
Album : No Matter How Fast We Run
Release Year : 2010
Genre : Screamo | Emo

Tracklist :
01 Bannon'S Fucking Dead
02 Dude... So, You'Re Like Hebrew?
03 Brutal Knowledge
04 We'Re Nothing Without Our Hats!
05 Zombies 3:08
06 Oh, Hey Der Margie
07 The Suit You Live In

A screamo band out of Chicago. They have a female singer, so I think stuff like that is always cool. Musically they can be compared to Age Sixteen at times because of the guitar tone and the complex time signatures and stop-and-go nature of their songs. The vocalist even has a similar "not-really-screaming-but-yelling" kind of thing like Age Sixteen. They also have a lot of Kidcrash-esque instrumental breaks filled with mathy riffs. These guys are really awesome and seem to have a lot of promise. One of the better screamo efforts.
