Seven Storey Mountain - At the Poles

For those that visit the blog regularly, just thought I would make it known that I most likely won't be updating this coming Monday and Tuesday. I have a wedding to attend down in Branson, Missouri. Gonna be a quick trip and back, so I'll be back to regular updates come Wednesday. In the meantime check out the archives or all of the great blogs I have linked for some quality music. And now on to today's update...

At the Poles is the first album from Arizona’s Seven Storey Mountain since their 2002 effort Dividing by Zero. Over the years the band has continued to mix their DC post-hardcore/punk sound with a bit of a more upbeat, dare I say, poppy one. However for a band that still contains so much bite to their sound it continually proves to be a successful formula for them. At the Poles is no different, the band is back after a bit of a dormant period and has released yet another fine 30 minute slab of catchy yet dissonant post-hardcore that surely their old fans and newcomers will enjoy. Throughout the years, Lance Lammers has remained the bands only one constant and really is Seven Storey Mountain, which makes sense even with or without the original members as Lammers’ ear for a good melody is unquestioned. Seven Storey Mountain surely wouldn’t be the same band without it. Regardless, for those out there that haven’t heard of these guys, which is entirely possible since they’ve managed to fly under the radar for oh lets say 10+ years, then check out the tunes below from their latest album At the Poles just released this past April on Thick Records.
