The Forty-Two was a post-hardcore band from Atlanta, Georgia. Two members later went on to form Aslund Constant and the guitarist also went on to play drums for Atlanta contemporaries Barrel. The Forty-Two was a band that kind of defies definition; in some ways you could compare them to the jazzy-emo of Seraphim, or the jagged dissonance of Jazz Man's Needle, or the stop-start pondering of Singlefileline, but the band really has their own unique sound. The drumming on these tracks is a high point for me, if you watch the live video below their drummer has quite the weird set up that he utilizes incredibly effectively. For a band of their tenure, The Forty-Two put out some tight knit and well-composed songs that are real fun, rumpshakin' ear-worms to say the least.
