La Dispute

I thought I'd kick off the New Year with La Dispute. These guys are an awesome Michigan-Based Post-Hardcore band with influences from all over the map. From neat art rock, to classic Post-Hardcore, to even emotional hardcore and screamo. They've released a bunch of EP's, and currently only one Full Length, which is Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair.

They've recently released an EP to their Hear, Here series, which is more Spoken Word and minimalism that shows off their lyrical beauty and poetic side of the band. I also wanted to post this since I'm seeing them tomorrow live in Austin with Native. Whoo!

Oh, and if you want, they give all their albums for free on their Bandcamp site.
