Rapid Cities – Machinery Saints
It looks as if Rapid Cities is almost set to release their debut album Machinery Saints, as they have a record release show planned for the end of May from what I can tell. Even so, the album should be out sometime this spring through Look Again Media. With that being the case, it seems like as good of time as any to post a little bit about the band/record.
The band is based out of New Brunswick, New Jersey and has released a 3-song demo prior to their upcoming album thus far. Rapid Cities are another band making good in the post-hardcore/emo terrain and it’s definitely nice to hear more and more of this coming out these days. While the band seems to be more or less drawing from the early 90’s DC era, there are definitely hints here and there to west coast acts like DLJ, Tanner, etc mixing in a nice mathy sort of flavor to coincide with the records number of strong melodies within. As good as Machinery Saints is, I actually think the album gets better as it progresses with the band taking hold and showcasing much more musicianship than one would maybe expect from a band of their nature. It’s definitely impressive. Anyway, check out a track from the album below.
