Todos Caeran

The last two songs on the split come courtesy of Todos Caeran. Todos Caeran are no strangers to the blog and have been reviewed several times. Their two songs are phenomenal and will appeal to fans of Shotmaker, We Were Skeletons, and The Saddest Landscape. Overall, this is an amazing LP and each band offers up top notch music. Highly recommended! Enjoy! - Chris

From the mid-90s emo nostalgia of Paul Lawton:
When I randomly checked Todos Caerán a few weeks back, I felt four things. 1) Shame: in not running from something labeled “emo/hardcore.” 2) Confusion: for thinking I had long left my emo/hardcore days once it started getting co-opted by Vans Warped Tour and mall-punks. 3) Nostalgia: the first wave of mid-90's proto-emo bands in Alberta – a welcome respite from the glut of Fat Records wannabes droning on for many boring hours in half-empty community halls. They came as a reaction to the forms that were readily being co-opted. Moss Icon, Portraits of Past, Frail, Angel Hair were a way out, and though it didn’t last very long, it was really great while it did. 4) Inspiration: the best emo/hardcore bands, like Todos Caerán, inspire. Despite already playing in 100 bands, I want to start another group in this vein. I want to play shows with Todos Caerán, go on awful tours, and soak in the idealism that is at work here. Todos Caerán’s first cassette just gets it so right. I can’t wait to hear more. - Paul Lawton
