Their first album is good too. Called United by Birdcalls.

 

@littlejohn I watched until they were talking so fast that I couldn't really understand them and it felt like my ears were about to start bleeding.

 

thats the best part though.

 

Bleeding ears is the best part?!

 

not understanding them is the best part.

the bleeding ears are just a side effect to the best part.

 

I like this write up on Hodera's bandcamp page:

Effortlessly mixing vibrant indie-rock with the story telling of Americana, Hodera is prepared to be a band that never leaves listeners heads.

Spearheaded by Matthew Smith, Hodera has persisted in forming a unique sound amidst the vast depths of successful New Jersey acts. The group’s first release, 2014’s Reset To Default, was only a glimpse at the songwriting talent possessed by Smith. With 2015’s United By Birdcalls the name Hodera name was put on the map, touring extensively both in the United States and the United Kingdom. From landing showcases at SXSW and set times at The Fest, the honest nature of the songs found the band at the top of Spotify... Viral Charts. Hodera will now release First Things First via Take This To Heart Records on October 20th.

First Things First is an explorative album, diving into difficult subjects such as depression, suicide, loss and love. Hodera have weaved a web of progress through their constant work ethic, bettering their songwriting and pushing the boundaries of their delicate dynamics. First Things First is candid with its emotions, unraveling a soundscape that provides listeners with an album full of memory and warmth.

"I like to keep the storyline in each song raw, so it's not just a general pop song, or anyone else’s memory. It’s my story that I’m telling and letting people connect with,” Smith comments about First Things First. Being transparent is more than an act for Hodera, it's embedded into the very soul of the music, and that's what makes their music feel personal.

Through First Things First’s dynamic ten tracks, we are brought on a journey with Hodera, as Matthew poetically narrates each story. We join them in the confusion and frustration of growing up and trying to find where we belong; the grief of losing friends, family and potential loves; the dark corners depression can lead to, and the measures someone will go to just for a glimpse at happiness’ light again. Ultimately though, it leads us to the realization that no one is alone in the human experience and we can all strive to get better. So, first things first, go give this album a listen.

 

I still need to listen to that record. All I’ve done for the past 24 hours is watch star wars and play Zelda

 

@Kennedy !!

 

You still haven't listened to Vagabon's "Infinite Worlds" which you owe me for voting mayo

Edit: Also what did you think of Stage Four?

 

Hopefully Fox will be investing that Disney money into more news stations. We could use more real news.

 

I didn't have that one on my list to listen to. I'll check it out.

as for Stage Four.

I thought it was a really thoughtful album. very sad, tough to listen to parts. I thought it was really good. I haven't written my writeup yet for the CMCS thread yet, but I need to.

 

I really hope they impeach Hillary soon, the things her administration are doing are so corrupt. SAD!

 

!!!!!!

I’m such a useless nerd the past 24 hours. I have things I need to do for work but I keep procrastinating

 

Whoever suggested Stage Four to you is a great person, it was a top album for me last year, and I still play it regularly. His story is similar to mine so it's very cathartic. I'll look out for your writeup!

 

work shmork

 

I can’t even keep track of all the people she’s had whacked now.

 

Anyone ever watch the A Closer Look segments from Seth Meyers late night show. Those are always great.
