yet another find inspired by j@screamingforrecords. seems that it's always worthwhile to check his posts ;-) greetings to you, dude.
the river card is a british band playing hardcore in the vein of bands like naysayer, backtrack, cruel hand, ect. 'momentum' is a pretty strong record and if you can get into afore-mentioned bands you should definitely check them out. listen to the album on their bandcamp site from which you can get forwarded to the big cartel shop. exactly from that shop i ordered. as i got the stuff and opened the record i was a little bit confused not to find a download dropcard of which i thought that i read something about in the description at the shop. so i thought i could download them at the bandcamp site like this is sometimes possible with other bands. but nope, no option like this at bandcamp. i didn't really pursued a solution 'cause i was a little tied up in work. one day i got a mail by chris (don't know if it was the drummer or the singer, they're both named chris) sending me over my download code and apologising for forgetting to include it. decent chaps!
lovely cover art! i like it a lot. white w/ red splatter vinyl. 100 made (and still available). bare necessities records. 2012.
the river card - the great fall 7"
of course i wouldn't buy just one item when checking the other stuff. so i grabbed this nicely coloured 7" 'the great fall' which came out two years before 'momentum' was released. actually two songs were featured on this release first before appearing again on the full length (the songs 'the great fall' and 'momentum' obviously). sound wise i prefer the 7" to the 12" - the drum sound is more organic.
again the cover art is superb!
great white/grey split vinyl. 200 made. a clear vinyl version also available (300 made). bare necessities. 2010.
