Month Of Birthdays - Discography (1997-2002)

     Month Of Birthdays was an emocore band from Leeds, Yorkshire, UK. It's hard to classify a band that paves their own way and Month Of Birthdays is no exception. Their sound meanders from heavier Julia-esque post-hardcore experimentation to soft and sweet points that could be compared to bands like Everyone Asked About You. Cath O'Connors vocals are definitely a strong point in this bands discography, complimenting the instrumentals perfectly and solidifying Month Of Birthdays as a staple on the Subjugation roster. I guess I could compare them to label-mates Spy Versus Spy or Bob Tilton but Month Of Birthdays really did their own thing. 


    Month of Birthdays had some really compelling, emotional tracks and excellent lyrical content. I'd love to see more people listen to this band, as they are a real diamond in the rough. Those CDs should really be on vinyl by now...

Burned Up Bled Dry- Discography (1996-1999, 2019-Present)

 

    Burned Up Bled Dry is a hardcore band from Fort Smith, AR that was originally active from 1996-1999. The band’s sound is defined by their fast, hard-hitting riffs and lyrics that express a disenchanted view of the human experience, addressing topics such as the human destruction of Earth, the commodification of labor, and a distrust of those in power. In their original run, BUBD released 2 EPS, were featured on multiple compilations, and toured heavily. They also released a split with Arkansas metal band Deadbird in 2006.


    Although the band members are now spread throughout the US, they reunited in 2019 to play shows and write new music. A few new demos are available on their Bandcamp, and a new LP is expected soon. I was lucky enough to catch them in 2022 and believe me when I say... these dudes still got it. They should be announcing new tour dates soon- keep an eye out!


    Members of BUBD played in numerous other bands, including Benchmark, BG, From Ashes Rise, Last Chance, and St. Peter Ghidora.
