Nico Mercado -EP

Let me introduce you to my solo proyect, this is where I kinda solved my "identity crisis". It has seven tracks divided into four instrumental songs and three interludes. It's a mixture of Prog/Experimental/Psychedelic/Rock. If you like chaotic guitars at some point there are some agressive passages as on you can listen to on the intro for Cura Te Ipsum, as you can also listen to some soft atmosferic conections between verses on other songs, or minimal scary reversed noises.
Some Influences: The Mars Volta, The Fall of Troy, Zechs Marquise, Dream Theater, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Mike Patton.

Tales - EP

Hey guys, I know it's been a while.This time I'll show you my first EP. It's a passage of a progressive/posthardcord-ish/experimental/and whatever-you-like-to-label mixture. The name 'Tales' comes out of the spanish word 'instrumentales' (plural of instrumental) -nothing to do with tales. Yeah I know it's maybe kinda lame, but I'll keep it that  way for now until a new better idea comes out of my mind. Hope you take a listen to it, criticize, etc, and of course enjoy it!

TFoT - Live@London (Epic Moment)

Well, I was once told about an epic footage in which Thomas pushed a guy off of the stage for touching his pedals, but never found a proof of it until now. I was sent this video of TFoT in which they feature their song A Man, a Plan, a Canal, Panama, during the pre-Manipulator era. At the part in which Thomas begins using one of his Line 6 pedals a kid touches one of them... and you know the rest of the story. (About min 4:24)

Tim Ward: Trash Kids - Get Lost EP

I know some of you still wondering what has been Timothy Ward up to lately. He used to be making music under the name of Messedupcoyote, which was a sort of dead wave/electro-punk project. Now, he's been involved in this new proyect named Trash Kids, which consists basically of him and The Parallax View, related to psychedelic, drone, electronic music:

Timothy Ward:

"I sing, play guitar among many other things
its a collab project with a friend
2 man super group
myself and the parallax view
messedupcoyote + parallax view = trash kids"


Tyler Koykas - Beats, Samples, Synths, Keys, Guitar, Bass, Backup, Vocals, Mixing
Timothy Ward: Lead Vocals, Lead Guitar, Standup Bass, Siled Guitar, Backup Keys & Syunths, Lyrics

Blog's First Anniversary

Yesterday was the blog's first year anniversary. What inspired me to start this blog was that I was looking for bands like the fall of troy, but I never found a place which gethered all of this sort music togheter, so I thought it would be a cool idea to do that.

To celebrate this I'll post some good stuff:

Hope this blog continues for a long time, and don't worry if you don't see any new posts, I still have much more new bands for you, I'm just enjoying my vacations.

Regards.
