Invoking scoffs from people over 16: The Screamo Update
Lower Definition–or “The D,” as the local screamo band is known to their loyal minions—just released their new album, Moths, and performed for a sold-out Soma crowd last month. Although it took some time for me to get my hands on the release, the wait was well worth it. The seven-track CD is short but sweet and managed to spend more time in my car than the landfill of Orbit wrappers. Moths surpasses the current level of monotony that continues to plague the screamo genre. The band’s vocals and screams, performed by Matt Geise, are easily distinguishable—which helps them stand out among the wallowing, piercing all-ages throng of screamo bands.
A few other local bands associated with “The D” are doin’ big things as well. This is the Hospital is releasing its debut album Daybreak on July 28 and hardcore band Underminded releases Eleven:Eleven on Uprising Records Aug. 7.
uhhh, only Tenacious D can be called “The D” Period.
uhhh, only my D can be called tenacious. DEEZ NUTS exclamation point.
when we shared the stages with you guys i don’t remember stefan ever looking at a mic. do your research sheena is a punk rocker. you ill rep my boys.
Awesome CD. And for all those saying they can’t be called “The D,” bull shit. They deserve it. Congrats boys.
who wrote this?! thank you! we wanna talk to you!
lowerD is “the bawlz.”
perfect live performance with
a bamf light show.
it doesnt get much better.
big ups to lower d…they’re album is the shit and bumping like crazy in the southbay…
this album is one of the most moving albums i have ever heard. i sat down and deciphired the lyrics, word for word because every single syllable is so MOVING * you can tell that there was a lot of work and effort put into the d’s work. I think that everyone can appreciate good music, no matter what your genre is. maybe the d is classified as screamo but they are so much more. for ally ou hip hop and rap fans, listen to the awesome bass and the drums kick as*! matt’s voice puts me into a trance because the way he carries out the lyrics of a song is unlike anything i have ever heard. the screaming? if youre not a ” screamo ” fan, then just listen to the music when youre really angry. its so much better than punching a wall
all in all they f*ing rock my world, and they can call themselves whatever they want, ( the d, lower d, whatever ) i will remain a loyal fan until the end *
Sooo much pimp juice squirting out the speakers on this one!
aight this CD is D shatz aight. well worth it to get it. it may be short but its awsome
Thanks everyone! your support means the WORLD to all of us. we honestly never thought we’d be getting this much attention. BUT WE LOVE IT! SO KEEP IT COMING YOU SEXY LITTLE SASSAFRAS’S
