Shrouded in Veils, He Whose Ox Is Gored, Smooth Sailing, Hello Charger

(El Corazón) Shrouded in Veils occupy a similar territory to groups like Mogwai or Maserati, but they have an informed approach that suggests they've merely tread a similar path as their crescendo-loving, distortion-and-delay peers, arriving at a similar musical conclusion without necessarily monitoring the progress or borrowing the ideas of their more prominent contemporaries along the way. There's a definite assertiveness and instrumental interplay that recalls Turing Machine, a grit and gnash that conjures the scuzz-math rock of Louisville's Rodan, and a driving pulse and cool precision reminiscent of Trans Am's "Afternight," but in the end, Shrouded in Veils still wind up sounding like their own unique concoction.

Dashboard Confessional - Don't Wait by Cristiano ayoub

Dashboard Confessional, Chris Conley, Lady Danville

(Neumos) It's been 10 years since Dashboard Confessional released Swiss Army Romance, a record that was basically the diary of every heartbroken kid in America. At the time, you either loved or hated Dashboard Confessional for the heart he unapologetically wore on his sleeve with lyrics like "Your hair, it's everywhere/Screaming infidelities and taking its wear." So if you drank the Kool-Aid and you care enough to attend the show, tonight will be either a satisfying dip into a pool of comfortable nostalgia or an unbearable evening of embarrassment that forces you to reflect on all the unrequited crushes, relationships, and records that you wasted your time on, forcing you to ask, "What the fuck was I thinking?"
