Culm - Life In A Steel Cage Is No Life At All LP (2007)

Country: Germany
Genre: Posthardcore, emo
Label: Miyagi Records
Tracks: 14

This is emocore just like we grew up to, back in the 90ies when Dischord released one good record after another. Laid back, emotional rocking music, of course closer to Alternative than to hardcore, but still with that little something that makes the different - you could call it a punk feeling or whatever, but it is there. The 14 songs are ranging between slow paced passages and midtempo rocking. Some songs are rather straight, others offer a nice and too exhausting way of complexity through many details. Danceable at the same time as being relaxed. Besides the music, this is a good package. It comes on vinyl but has the CD packed in as well. A really nice gesture and convenient for the listener, having the vinyl for homeuse and the CD for practical reasons. All in all worth a look if you like Q And Not U, Fugazi, Seven Feet Four or older The Robocop Kraus. I wasn't able to find much more info about Culm. I think they broke up after the release. I also added a collection of songs from Culm's self titled album as well. Great stuff. Enjoy!
