We have Ann Arbor favourites, Brave Bird. <\/strong>Chicago’s \u201cfeel good sad jams\u201d, Dowsing. <\/strong>And last but most definitely not least we have Merchant Ships, <\/strong>a dead Midwestern screamo band.<\/p>\n

Brave Bird
<\/strong>For Fans Of: Cap n’ Jazz, Brand New
I honestly have no idea how I came across Brave Bird <\/strong>originally but it was love at first listen. ‘Ready Or Not’ <\/em>was released in November 2010 and it was on constant, and I mean constant, rotation for months of my life. Then came about the full length <\/span>‘Maybe You, No One Else Worth It’ <\/em>and it was like all my indie-emo musical prayers had been answered. The record to me is just a perfect example of the \u201cemo\u201d revival done well \u2013 because it isn’t just a revival, it’s almost an invention. The youthful exuberance, the jarring vocals and melodic guitar work all add to the layers upon layers found within this band and record. I genuinely cannot stress enough how much I love this record & band \u2013 so I’d advise you go grab a copy and see what I’m talking about!<\/span><\/p>\n

Dowsing
<\/strong>For Fans Of: The Promise Ring, Braid.
Dowsing <\/strong>are another wonderful indie-emo band from Chicago. Can you see the running trend I have here yet? So closely related to all of their counterparts in bands like; <\/span>You’ll Live, Annabel, You Blew It! <\/strong>It’s beyond a community, it’s a family. The EP <\/span>‘All I Could Find Was You’ <\/span><\/em>is the quintessential summer EP. Last summer I screamed along to <\/span><\/span>‘Amateur Cartography’s \u201cGetting wasted with our friends, in a basement with some bands, that we don’t even know, from Tennessee. With a backpack full of beer, I just want to be here, with all of you\u201d <\/span><\/em>Then, they went and released the full length <\/span><\/span>‘It’s Still Pretty Terrible’ <\/span><\/em>and upped their game again. If you want to reminisce the days of summers past, <\/span><\/span>Dowsing <\/span><\/strong>could be the absolute perfect band for you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

&amp;lt;a href=“http:\/\/countyourluckystars.bandcamp.com\/album\/its-still-pretty-terrible” data-mce-href=“http:\/\/countyourluckystars.bandcamp.com\/album\/its-still-pretty-terrible”&amp;gt;It’s Still Pretty Terrible by Dowsing&amp;lt;\/a&amp;gt;<\/p>\n

Merchant Ships
<\/strong>For Fans Of: Old Gray, I Hate Myself.
The now dead and gone Merchant Ships <\/strong>were for me, a gateway into the screamo side of things. In July of 2010 they decided to call it a day due to \u201ccreative and personal differences\u201d but not before being \u201csigned\u201d to CYLS, <\/strong>and allowing them to release the beautiful ‘For Cameron’. <\/em>This record highlighted every ounce of emotion and poignancy available to them, a beautiful and stirring account of moments in our lives held closest to us. <\/span>‘Sleep Patterns’ <\/em>will forever remain as one of my all time favourite songs \u2013 a spoken word intense affair that pulls on your heartstrings in the most passionate way. <\/span>\u201cI have absolutely no idea, I am afraid\u201d <\/em>is the most haunting line of any song I know \u2013 all because of its deliverance. <\/span>Merchant Ships <\/strong><\/span>offer the most eclectic but well put together record in their wake. If you haven’t heard <\/span>‘For Cameron,’ <\/em>I demand you download this immediately and have your world opened up to that of the distraught, despairing emotional turmoil of this band.<\/span><\/p>\n
