Loma Prieta

alliteration · 04-15-2008, 04:53 PM

here's the story on the vocals: david fung (yes the song is named after him) was the old vocalist/did some guitar in loma prieta. he is no longer in the band, and is now with this awesome band (buy their 7", its so good. its occam's razor meets loma prieta and has absolutely some of the best artwork i've ever seen):

MySpace.com - vs, havnted bodies - SAN FRANCISCO, California - Punk / Hardcore - www.myspace.com/ushauntedbodies

that being said, now Sean does pretty much all the vocals. they used to be a 4 piece (sometimes 3 guitar and drums) to a 3 piece (2 guitar and drums). thats the reason the vocals are different. i think they still kick ass, and musically its much more dynamic and broad. their earlier stuff was absolutely nuts, but really stuck to the short, spazzy hardcore side. they've added many more elements to their music, which i think makes this release my favorite.

yea i was watching vids on youtube of him playing guitar sometimes and then he would just put it down and scream full time. For whatever reason, I was thinking he was still in the band and the other guitarist left. I guess not haha. Yea I saw vs, havnted bodies' 7" on slave union and I was thinking of buying it. Hmm weird, how did you know his name. Yea I agree with you that they can do a lot more with their sound than with their older stuff and Im sure doing that all the time gets boring. Do you know why he left the band?

No idea as to why he left. It appears as they are still friends, but we could speculate all day as to why he left. I was looking through liner notes in both Lome Prieta's "our LP is your EP" and Us, Haunted Bodies 7" and saw Davy's name. After doing some myspace checking, it all works out. And everyone should pick up the Us, Haunted Bodies 7". It is screened on one side, in a tri-fold cover slipped into a hand-stamped thingy. Its absolutely gorgeous. Musically, its like older Loma Prieta at times, but also, like their myspace says, it butts heads with Occam's Razor at times as well. All around, its just fantastic. Occam's razor was one of my favorite screamo bands, and Loma Prieta definitely is one of my present favorites, so obviously I would dig it. Its very much worth your 5 bucks.

Big thanks to deekmedia.

The singing part in their song Last City sounds like minus the bear.

DARK MOUNTAIN SONGS UP, yay!

this should be a sickeningly good album, but to tell the truth i'm wayyyyy more looking forward to the split with l'antietam.

I have that 7", it is GREAT!! I also highly reccomend it to anyone who loves the "American" screamo sound, fast, hardcore, melodic.

I absolutely loved the production on Last City, i recently got it on clear /100.

Same here. I have one of the Euopean tour versions of Last City. Pretty cool stuff and I'm really excited for the new LP and the split.
