ISLANDS for free, HYACINTH for fun

It’s been too long that I haven’t watched a live band so I’ll go to two shows in a row and would like to recommend both:

ISLANDS from Montreal, Canada, play today, Friday, at the E-Werk in Erlangen, sadly indoors because the weather isn’t steady enough for an open air show. And it will be for free!
Check out “Rough Gem” and “Bobby, don’t call me Whitney” on their site. Wonderful cute heartwarming pop monsters.

HYACINTH from Metz, France, will play at the Kafe Kult in Munich on Saturday and they are the perfect contradiction to this. A band for whom I think it’s okay to revive the term ’emo violence’. Pure Angst, pure desperation.
Here’s an mp3 of one of their songs.
