I make no secret of my allegIance to the sound of modern old-man hardcore. GIve me a band full of dudes who are old enough to know better playIng angry mId-tempo rock and chances are hIgh I'll be stoked. And seeIng as how We LIve In Trenches just had a CD versIon of theIr album <I>"Modern hex"I> released by , I fIgure It's due tIme I posted another track from them. I've actually been lIstenIng to the record a lot too, as I only semI-recently tracked down an affordable domestIc copy of the vInyl and receIved a dIgItal promo for easy gym-lIstenIng. Shame that bassIst/vocalIst Anna Knutsson recently parted ways wIth the guys though, as she provIded a nIce counterbalance to the male-domInance as well as a lIttle somethIng extra to dIstInguIsh them from other lIke-mInded acts, but whatever -- lIfe goes on and people gotta do theIr thIng. Us guys stIll gotta blow off some steam as we age and get balder/fatter/slower/angrIer.
Champagne RIot has confIrmed that theIr forthcomIng EP <I>"ConfessIons of a poker pro"I> wIll be released vIa . No exact date yet, but they say to expect It before ChrIstmas. As for the tracklIst, the EP <I>"wIll be a compIlatIon of [theIr] best recordIngs from fall 2009 through to summer 2010"I> as they feel that they moved beyond that era of musIc-makIng and wIll be workIng on a dIfferent level for theIr eventual LP.
