Ohio is for lovers... and folk punk. (Defiance, Ohio.)

FOLK PUNK! Ya know you love it, and if you dont this band will make you. Political like punk, peaceful like folk, and just enough harmonica and banjo for you want to put on some overalls. (Okay, maybe not overalls, but you may walk barefooted in the grass.) Fiddel, (or maybe it's a violen, or maybe I cannot spell) acoustic guitars, 4 or 3 (I cant tell if yelly and lispy are the same guy. Oh, and once you DL this you'll find out who yelly and lispy are, along with rough and girly) vocalists, a banjo!, some drums, and claping, and yelling, and poetic almost rap like song structure, (not on all songs) will make this guys well known. If you like Ghost Mice, a band they did a split with, and This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb, then you'll like Defiance, Ohio. more.

The first Album is minus girly, (I actually think she was the chick from Ghost Mice) but she takes a major role in The Great Depression. Also, Share What Ya Got is a bit rough for a coupla tracks, but overall both great albums.

BTW if you do like them, they have a new album comming out.

17/20 (Double review!!! Blame the -3 on Share What You Got's annoying recordings.)

Ordination of Aaron - Colmplete Works

First things first, it has been a while since I posted, so FYI I got a bunch more stuff to upload.


Let me put it this way, if you like The Get Up Kids then Ordination of Aaron is for you. Youthful, sorrowful, quiet,and beautiful. While a few tracks will get a bit loud, most are on the quiet side. Kinda reminds me of mineral, but these guys where most deffinatly infulenced by the deeper side of The Get Up Kids. Less pop and more rock. I've heard a few people (I dont know many ppl that have ever heard of these guys) call them post-emo, but that would imply that they were once members of emo bands. I'm to lazy to look that up, but they do have that type of sound. Anyway, if you like SDRE or the Get Up Kids then OOA wont be breaking new ground with you (But this is deffinetly worth a download if nothing else). Enjoyable and it has the feel of better times.

8/10 (Good, but not something that you will find yourself listening to daily, maybe once or twice a week, but no more.)
