Dear Landlord (Official Thread)

[CellarGhosts]

Dream Homes is excellent. Get into it!

[shit stroll]

dream homes is fantastic. :-d

[CellarGhosts]

dream homes is fantastic. :-d
True that. It's already one of my favorite albums this year.

[Chromefox]

I read the title as "Dear Timelord" and got all nerdy for a second.

[SwiftSilentDead]

I still need to hear Dream Homes, and I will in an hour or so. After I finish this Anchor Down review.

[shit stroll]

True that. It's already one of my favorite albums this year.
agreed. it's tied with supporting caste for my favorite album of 09.

Sweet. Anchor Down are pretty rad. I think you'll dig Dream Homes.

[shit stroll]

i still haven't listened to the new anchor down album.

[CellarGhosts]

agreed. it's tied with supporting caste for my favorite album of 09.
Supporting Caste just barely tops it for me, right now. This could change though.

[LendMeYourBrain]

yeah dudes they're so solid the cd is rad

Haha! I came in here to post something of relevance, but I'm just going to high five this picture instead.

[SwiftSilentDead]

I don't see anything topping Supporting Caste as my album of the year. Hoping Dream Hopes impresses the hell out of me though.

[versus_god]

They have an album out now? Where have I been?

[Chris Fallon]

I still need to hear Dream Homes, and I will in an hour or so. After I finish this Anchor Down review.
Cool. I'm reviewing them too. On my "to-do" list right now. I like 'em.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Cool. I'm reviewing them too. On my "to-do" list right now. I like 'em.

Sweet. I just finished my review about an hour ago, haha. Procrastinated badly tonight. They're a rad band, though. Steel To Dust would be my favorite EP of the year if it wasn't for Distractions by The Loved Ones.

Yeah, I'm really impressed by these guys. I see big things on the horizon -- they could rope in a big following.

Agree with you on the Loved Ones part, too. So far, that EP is my favorite of the year.

[SickOfStars]

Just got this, haven't listened yet. What can I expect?

[CellarGhosts]

Just got this, haven't listened yet. What can I expect?
Gritty pop-punk, ala The Copyrights, Dillinger Four, etc.

[SickOfStars]

Gritty pop-punk, ala The Copyrights, Dillinger Four, etc.

I figured it would be the next "orgcore craze" sorta thing. Glad to have confirmation.


THIS SHIT BETTER BE GOOD, OR I'M TAKING AWAY ALL OF YOU GUYS' CUTOFF JEANS AND TOM WAITS/BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN RECORDS

I don't own any cut-off jeans. :-p

...You ain't touching my records though.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Listening to Dream Homes right now. This is a super fun record. Reminds me of Off With Their Heads.

[Justin_stacy]

I guess I'm late to the game I just posted that it leaked, in the 'punk' thread.

[CellarGhosts]

Listening to Dream Homes right now. This is a super fun record. Reminds me of Off With Their Heads.
But better! I dunno. I used to like OWTH a lot but I'm bored by them lately. As of right now, "A World That We Never Made" is my favorite song on the album. I love how it reprises the hook from "Landlocked".

Haha, I still dig OWTH. I've only listened to this record once but I really enjoyed it. Definitely going to be high on my best of 2009 list. Would listen to it more but I have a shit load of albums to review that I want to get out of the way. :-(

That isn't funny. I'm a never-nude.

Glad you're liking it. I understand the OWTH comparison but I hear The Copyrights (obviously, haha) and Banner Pilot more in here. I like the vocals more than OWTH/Banner Pilot too.

[versus_god]

I thought you just liked cutoffs. :shrug:

[SwiftSilentDead]

I know this is blasphemy, but I've never listened to The Copyrights before. Been meaning to for awhile, just never got around to it. I like what I've heard from Banner Pilot, though.

Side note: OWTH are coming here with Dear Landlord in August. That should be awesome.

[Genuma]

Love Dream Homes, haven't heard their EP though.

[SickOfStars]

That isn't funny. I'm a never-nude.

que?

Arrested Development reference. Sorry, over your head unless you're a fan of the show haha

ah, gotcha. I've always meant to get around to it, but this desktop is too slow to even think about streaming or downloading anything.

...can't wait to get a new laptop...

[LendMeYourBrain]

i'm not good at using the interweb where are you guys finding this to download?

[SickOfStars]

from your Private Message inbox, I think.

seriously though where do you guys get music from? i've always used slsk but people use that a lot less and as a result i rarely get new music

members only forum and http://deekmedia.org for me

OR: often I just google an artist and album title followed by either "mediafire," "rapidshare," or "megaupload."

it works like magic!

hm i should try this "google"

[goodnews]

I just wish I could find this band's lyrics somewhere on the internet. They are fucking awesome, though.

[prefix-core]

As of right now, there's a strong shot this record might be my #1 for the year. It's certainly hooked me hard and fast. My one gripe is that they didn't re-record "Don't Just Stand There." Other than that? It's an amazing record.

Personally, I think they sound like the sum of their parts. Elements of the Copyrights and Off With Their Heads lumped together to create a whole mess of awesomeness.

[AP_Punk]

can't wait to get the LP (and bonus 7") in the mail!!

[prefix-core]

can't wait to get the LP (and bonus 7") in the mail!!

Should be coming this week, I would imagine! STOKED!!!

[LendMeYourBrain]

my favorite songs off it are the ones that were already out

[SwiftSilentDead]

Dream Homes is rivaling Common Existence, Supporting Caste and Farm for my favorite album of the year.

[Jumpoff]

The only album coming close to Supporting Caste for me so far. It even tops scrambles surprisingly. Three to the Beach and I Live in Hell are just amazing.

[prefix-core]

Has anyone gotten their pre-order in the mail yet? I'm aching to read the lyrics, but it hasn't come. But somehow I got my "High-fives for low lives" shirt. Hrrrm...

[AP_Punk]

haven't got mine yet either!

want. so hard.

[prefix-core]

haven't got mine yet either!

want. so hard.

I listened to that album on the walk home last night. After a date. That was very mediocre and had me thinking about life in general. Also? I was heavily buzzed. It sounded perfect.

Seriously. That record keeps getting better and better with every listen. Album of the summer? Definitely.

[prefix-core]

...Still waiting for my mail-order package. My BTMI! vinyl shipped. Why can't this?!!

[AP_Punk]

they shipped last friday (or sometime around there) sooo we should be getting 'em soon!

finally!!

[prefix-core]

I need to read these lyrics. The songs make me happy from what I can understand of the words. Haha. Did you get a t-shirt with your order?

[AP_Punk]

haven't heard the album yet, waiting for the record to finally listen to it. stoked for that, especially after hearing/reading the positive response it's getting!

annnd i can't remember. haha. i don't think so. i should've! i need more black band shirts!! :-d

Dude. It has an old man. And a bear. High-fiving. You need it. And, seriously...This album is pretty stellar.

[prefix-core]

Does anyone else hear the Less Than Jake in the bass intro to "A World That We Never Made?" I doubt it was inspired by them, but it certainly sounds like it could start off a LTJ song. Just sayin'.

[AP_Punk]

hahahah. amazing. i need this shirt now!

[prefix-core]

It came! Finally!

[CellarGhosts]

Hooray!

Also, she said the same thing. heh.

[shit stroll]

that's what she said! :-p

[SwiftSilentDead]

What does your dream home look like?

[prefix-core]

Hooray!

Also, she said the same thing. heh.

...So, what you're implying is that I have great stamina in the bedroom? Haha.

But seriously. Stoked to read through the lyrics...

[prefix-core]

What does your dream home look like?

A quick Google Image search for "Dream Home" + "Naked chick" yielded this...

http://dailytimesuck.com/random/image00222-783888.jpg

EDIT: Yup. I removed the weird computer graphic one. Don't ask what prompted me to search that. But the results were hilarious.

[prefix-core]

After reading through the lyrics sheet...I am pleasantly impressed.

[AP_Punk]

got my record today. looks/sounds awesome.

that cardboard silk-screened artwork is pretty sweet too. same goes for the bonus 7"!

i approve of this.

My Dream Homes review
http://www.scenepointblank.com/reviews/2579

[shit stroll]

nice review, corey!

[SwiftSilentDead]

Thanks. :-)

Only I'm not sure why the last 3/4 of it are in italics. Either way, this is still one of my favorites of the year.

[Wobbie]

This album has been totally kicking my ass lately. So good. I Live In Hell has got to be one of the best opening songs in recent memory. Who's heard TahoeJeff's uke version :-d Pretty rad, haha.

[heyguys123]

dream homes and the new broadway calls have made this the best summer driving music summer ever

[Colorblind!]

Did everybody's LP come with the bonus 7"?

[AP_Punk]

mine did!

and i think some hot topic stores have some of those too.

interview (http://www.punknews.org/article/35117)

[Griff]

I just had the pleasure of discovering dear landlord yesterday. Needless to say, dream homes has blown me away.

[AP_Punk]

:highfive:

[prefix-core]

This band is winning fans all over this week! HIGH-FIVES FOR LOW-LIVES!

[prefix-core]

...Still depressed that I missed their set at the Fest.

[AP_Punk]

tsk tsk tsk!

i missed their set this weekend, too, so it's cool :-d :pet:

[prefix-core]

tsk tsk tsk!

i missed their set this weekend, too, so it's cool :-d :pet:

Had you made it? At least I could have lived vicariously through you. Apparently they were dressed as "Coneheads." Haha. I was sitting outside at the at-capacity venue, listening as intently as possible...

Meanwhile, inside? I'm sure some Defiance Ohio fan was talking about how "pop-punk was cool when he was in high school." Sigh. I'm a cynic.

[shit stroll]

pretty sweet video.

Gyah! That's intense. Now I'm even more stoked that I finally get to see them...Although, I'm doubtful that the crowd will be so into them. Unfortunately. But whatever. I'll just have to rock five times as hard, fists/Corona bottle in the air! :-D
