Hello again to Sirens Sound!
The popular Blogspot post-rock music blog Sirens Sound was shutdown earlier this week to the chagrin of its many faithful readers, myself included. Well, now Sirens Sound is back with its own dotcom!

Adebisi Shank - This Is the Album of a Band Called Adebisi Shank (2008)
Hard Rock / Bitpop / Experimental
Two-handed tapping, spastic bitpop bleeps and blops, octave pedaled guitar and incredibly tight playing: when their powers combine, the result is the refreshingly spry rock ‘n’ roll of Adebisi Shank. Not Captain Planet, as you may have guessed.

God Is An Astronaut - God Is An Astronaut (2008)
Electronic Rock / Instrumental
Of interest to craftsmen and headbangers alike, God Is An Astronaut’s all instrumental music is electronic rock of the utterly enjoyable sort.
Goodbye to Sirens Sound?
It sucks to be a post-rock fan right now. Seems that earlier today, Blogspot yanked the massively popular post-rock music blog Sirens Sound off their servers. Shortly thereafter, 4channers decided to go ahead and piss on its grave.

Enter Shikari - “We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Don’t Want Us To Escape” [SINGLE]
Metal / Hardcore / Trance Electronica
Fun one-off single from British “Nintendocore” rockers Enter Shikari is pure, off-your-ADHD-medication energetic fun, with lyrics scraping at the place of humanity in the cosmos. End result: you, dancing in your chair like Gary Brolsma.

Fear Before - Fear Before (2008)
Experimental / Metal / Noise-Pop
Long having shaken out their scene hardcore sillies, Aurora, Colorado’s Fear Before the March of Flames now birth music equal parts metal, industrial, and pop, and fire it straight at experimental and noise-pop fans. And all without the last half of their name!
Happy Election Day!
Yes, we can.
