Todos Caeran

A pal of mine will be joining this blog and maybe that will help keep it going a little more regular. He's a purveyor of good Emo. Hey, grammatical nazi's is that an appropriate use of "purveyor" ? That's killing me. He also is a member of an amazing emo band "Todos Caeran."

Todos Caeran is a part of a series of etchings done by the painter Francisco Goya called "Los Caprichos." (Someone please start a band by that name if no one already has and tour with Todos.) If you're not familiar with Goya's works I highly recommend it; they're critical, powerful and even perverse at times. If you knew the guys in this band you would almost think it an unnatural name for them--But I think they chose their name out of respect. If you knew any of their old bands they raped everything good about music, much like the anal rape happening in the image of Todos Caeran.

Kidding aside many people in our hometown have followed these guys through multiple bands--They have stuck together and flowed between styles trying to find their comfort niche and the second they found it they exploded out of the blocks. They exploded out in a fury of emo that is in the vein of Funeral Diner--The buildups and soft sections are there but once they get geared up there's no stopping them. It's edgier, and more intense than what you'd expect of a band that gets compared to Funeral Diner so much--That or I just don't listen to enough Funeral Diner to know what I'm talking about. That's a high possibility.

These may be some of the nicest guys you will ever meet but their music is not playing the same nice games you will get from them. The longer they play together the tighter they get and the music they're writing now is definitely worth a listen. Do not miss your chance to buy the tape from Bart Records, neither. The artwork is extremely badass with four separate covers making up one awesome image. So buy four! Quick plug for Bart Records here, too. Grab anything off this label I think he's yet to release a single bad thing.
