Last Lights / Mountain Man tag team

This one gets to be a two for one since Last Lights and Mountain Man are, kinda sorta, the same band.  First things first, Last Lights was a hardcore band from western massachussetts that did not get the kind of exposure they deserved.  Tragically their vocalist Dom passed away and his friends released No Past, No Present, No Future as part of a a fundraiser for his funeral service.  I never got a chance to meet the guy but everyone I've spoken to that knew him couldn't speak higher of him and, likewise, I can't speak higher of his band.  Last Lights has some of the best lyrical content to come out of any hardcore album I've heard in years, maybe keeping in some kind of Massachusetts Wes Eisold hive mind or something I dunno, point is this isn't just mosh music.  Songs build up and blow up, they manage to speak to a broad audience while focusing on personal themes and concepts, and they are always, always, fucking pissed.  This is one of my favorite hardcore albums to come out in the past few years and definitely worth the download, in fact what you really ought to do it download, understand that it is so good, and then buy it.

Mountain Man, in this vein, was the band formed by the remaining members of Last Lights.  This band picks up incredibly close to where Last Lights left off and has already started to pull together a very respectable list of shows with a wide range of bands.  Their 10", titled One, comes out with the same teeth grinding intensity that their previous efforts put off, building into an album that seems to slip easily between New England hardcore standards of fast, circle pit, thrash to slowed down and pulled out stomp.  Grab the jams below.
