The Night Marchers- Allez Allez

Follow @Uhh_yup

The Night Marchers are a rock band from San Diego. Members included are John Reis, Gar Wood, Tommy Kitskos, and Jason Kourkounis. Reis is from Drive Like Jehu, Pitchfork, and Hot Snakes. Wood and Kourkounis used to be in Hot Snakes, and Kitskos used to be in CPC Gangbang. This is another one of those awesome, hybrid bands. The type of bands that you're always wishing would come together but never do. These guys have a lot of energy and their sound is the perfect mix of everything I have ever liked about their old projects. It's great because a lot of the other bands that these guys are in are no longer making music, so it's almost like a big reunion of stuff from the 90's scene in San Diego. Their new album Allez Allez, under Reis' Swami Records is a perfect blend of fun, alternative rock. Pick up their album today!

Last month I saw Octa#grape. Listen to them, just do it. They were jumping around on stage and swinging their guitars around. When seeing a band play live, I always pay attention to the stage presence and chemistry between the members. Not because I'm trying to be analytical when seeing bands, but just because I like to see if they are having fun. Seriously, these guys have fun when they play. All of them had huge smiles on their faces while playing. You can tell that this band is playing because they just love playing live shows. They were even smiling when the singer's microphone went out and he had to lip sync one of the songs. It made me dig them ten times more. Eternal hair is really good listening. I put a link for the song down on the bottom. Look for Octa#grape because these guys don't do it for the fame. They're doing it because they love having fun.
