Scribe - Confect [2008]

What can i say? one of the best things to come out from our scene. A far sonically richer effort than their debut EP "Have Hard.Will Core" :P, which was on the Fine Tuned Disasters split released by Demonstealer (of Demonic Resurrection fame *whew* that's alot of name drops) [will post that soon]. They even cover Del Amitri here! Oh right, need to introduce the band. Scribe (not to be confused with the NZ rapper) are a hardcore band from Mumbai (formerly Bombay). Influenced by the likes of SikTh, Textures, Walls of Jericho, Dillinger Escape Plan, Earth Crisis etc. There are alot of the weird time signatures and dissonance of the modern hardcore of today, but they don't sound too derivative which is a good thing. The most important thing is that, this is a really fun record, and another they have given this album out for FREE this time around. Unfortunately i missed the physical copy of this album when it was packed with the June issue of RSJ [Rock Street Journal]  :'(. There are also a few ambient tracks here, my personal fave is "Ate a Banana" haha. Excellent band and album in short.

You'll regret giving this a miss when these guys go big, get it HERE.
