A lot has happened in the past 3 months, but today is actually my (18th) birthday. My good friend and band mate Tobi (check out the new F,W! song www.myspace.com/fuckwolves) gave me a couple cds as my present. What a great guy. One of the them was from a French screamo band called The Third Memory.
I had honestly never heard of them before he gave me the album, but our friend has a label who helped but the album out a year or so ago. It's called "et de cela rien ne ressort," and let me tell you, it's really really fucking good. Seriously. A lot of these French Screamo bands admitedly follow a fairly Daitro-esque formula, which has drawn some criticism from Euro-Skramz fans, but these guys in my opinion blow even Daitro out of the water. This is intense, yet melodic hardcore with some emo-violence tendencies. The whole album is exciting and interesting all the way through, with frantic dual single-coil guitars and a shit-hot rhythm section to move things forward. I tend to focus on the drums a lot when listening to this type of music, and I was really impressed by the drummer here. He's insane. Very decent production for a DIY release, and the art design in the cd case is beautiful.
So even if you aren't a fan of French screamo, you should still check The Third Memory out, you will not be disappointed. I could keep ranting on, but you owe it to yourself to just listen. Download the album here, but if you really like it, please support these guys and buy somethigng from them too.
