Fat History Month - Fucking Despair LP
Finally had a chance to sit down awhile ago and listen to this LP from Boston’s Fat History Month that I’d been meaning to for some time now since writing some about their most recent single. Fucking Despair stands as the groups second full-length effort and one that has drawn a pretty immediate reaction in reference to its cover featuring a pear with a penis dangling from it. ...

Roomrunner - Roomrunner
When Double Dagger broke up I didn’t really give much thought to the sort of groups that would form in the wake of it. I figured members would splinter off and start similar bands, in the way that typically seems to happen. It never once crossed my mind that something like Roomrunner would be the next step, but apparently for Denny Bowen it was the way to go. A band that has no problem...

Nonagon - People Live Everywhere 12" EP
I remember some time ago I got an e-mail from a member of Nonagon promoting an EP of theirs, or it could have even been a message through MySpace (that shows just how long ago it was). It doesn’t matter though, I ended up losing the message and I remember spending a nice chunk of time trying to figure out just what band it was that sent it, as I recalled liking the tracks that they linked...

VA - A Butcher's Waltz (4-way split LP)
Ah, good to finally be back. Incredibly sorry for the long break there, but getting settled into my new living quarters took a bit longer than I’d expected. There are still some things to take care of, however time is freeing up some and BOAWS should be back in action now. And with that said, on to the music…
A Butcher’s Waltz may very well be the first four way split that...
Address Change!
Please note that the address for any submitted material has changed. If anyone has sent stuff to the old address, don’t worry, it will still end up where it needs to.
Normal updates should resume here in the next couple days.
Thanks!
MOVING!
Yes, I am once again in the process of moving and heading back over to the Missouri side. That’s why there has been such a lack of activity on here lately and I apologize. I don’t currently have Internet access but will in a couple more days (I’m writing this from my phone actually). Anyway, the address on the right side of the page will be changing, however anyone who has...

Buildings - Melt, Cry, Sleep
Despite their debut Braille Animal coming out in 2008, I’d never heard of Buildings up until last year. It may or may not have been the best time to discover them, since just as soon as I had a chance to listen to Braille Animal I was made aware that they had a new album coming out in only a matter of a month or two. I’m not sure if that complicates things sometimes, but the...

Britches - Demonstration
Happened upon the St. Louis trio of Britches awhile back when they had a five song online demo up for download. Admittedly I didn’t give them much thought afterward, but then this album showed up late last year and happily gave them another go around. At the very least the demo was oddball enough to warrant it. They seem to have a recurring thing with incorporating the word “demo” into the...
