If you follow this blog, even remotely, you've picked up on a few things: Praise for the new Daft Punk is unaninimous, Mac's on point with the Just Announceds, Scott is a fantastic writer, and this blog LOVES Young Suns. Like really loves them.

If you haven't heard Young Suns, let me give you a brief introduction. Russian Circles-esque with a touch more melody, not quite Pelican heavy, but certainly treading that slim, sludgy line. Groove for days; the convergent point where metal meets rock meets atmospheric instrumental soundscapes. It's a potent concoction and their mastery of tension-release songwriting cannot be overstated. This music is as thought out as a battle-plan and I mean that in the best way possible.

You can catch Young Suns tonight at Waiting Room with two other Buffalo bands, Scales and Backbiter. Scales are clearly influenced by Young Widows (ok in my book) and Backbiter have this cool hardcore punk/crust/sludge influence (also ok in my book). It's cheap and it's early (6$, 8pm). No better place to party tonight.

Only a couple more day's until Sugar City closes at its current location. No need to fret though. In the Sugar City tradition, that doesn't translates to tears, it translates to party!

Tonight, we're celebrating in style as some of hardcore's most buzzed about bands will be making their way to Buffalo's quaint little venue. Code Orange Kids have a chaotic, noise influenced sound while Full of Hell rock a variety of hardcore influences. You also have noise merchant F.K.F doing his thing, Rochester sludgemasters Night Terror, and new Buffalo band Scales. It's an early one (6pm) so make your on time to catch all the bands, and say your proper respects to one of Buffalo's most beloved venues.
