¡Apeshit! – ¡Apeshit! — Independent, 2007

¡Apeshit! is a four-piece outfit hailing from New York City. They blast through thirteen songs on this, their debut effort, in less than eleven minutes. You don't have to be good at math to realize that means one thing: super short songs. With only three songs clocking in over a minute, the remainder of ¡Apeshit! is sub-one-minute cuts of traditional screamo/grindcore goodness. If you enjoy the likes of Antioch Arrow, Swing Kids, Angel Hair, or anything released by Gravity Records, you're going to eat this band up. I can't really comment on the lyrical content, as a lot of it is rather nonsensical blathering/stream-of-consciousness - something I've always considered to be the downfall to screamo. The only way to find out if ¡Apeshit! is up your alley is to spin some tunes. Look for a split 12" with Tigershark in the near future.

Cavalier Activity is an extension of the sound heard on their previous recordings, which also includes … Read more
