Description:

It's been a while since I've made a post on this thing, but it's been becaues of many reasons: I've recently had my wisdom teeth taken out, which has sucked ass and I've been extremely busy trying to find a summer job. ANYWAYS, as far as I know, this is Calculator's latest release (which I'm a little late for posting) and it falls nothing short of being amazing. Everything from the production quality to the instrumentation has gotten a lot better since These Roots Grow Deep. I've also noticed that their jangly guitar work has gotten a lot more melodic on this  release too, which is always a good thing. I hope this post isn't too rambly. Get into it.

Calculator - These Roots Grow Deep (2010)

For Fans Of: Daniel Striped Tiger, Touche Amore, Ampere
Genre: Screamo, Post-Hardcore
Website: Facebook


Description:

Calculator are a hardcore band from LA that play a style that draws noticeable influences from bands like Comadre, Touche Amore (who are both from LA), and Ampere. They aren't a complete rip off of those bands; they just sound like a more heavier version, with light/mellow parts. The production quality is low produced where it's sometimes hard to hear the instrumentation over the vocals that were recorded to high and by how low funded (I'm assuming) this release was made. However, they still rock pretty hard and have badass instumental parts throughout this release. If you're a fan of that LA-esque style of Hardcore, you should check these guys out.
