Blackout at Sunrise

Cursed - Blackout at Sunrise EP

This morning I decided it was really important to alphabetize my records and I rediscovered this gem.

Despite having this on again off again obsession with Cursed since I was like 16 I hadn't listened to this ep in a while. The title track as well as the rest of the record is fairly brooding. There is a liner note saying "the song "Hawaii" was originally written as a black magic incantation by Winnipeg band Kittens." Shit is straight evil.

If you like heavier doom influenced punk/hardcore Cursed is a must.

Shit I've Been Listening To

Towards the end of every month I'm going to start posting the albums iTunes tells me I play the most in no particular order. Here goes...

links will open in a new tab or window depending on your preferences.


Ampere - The First Five Years (Featuring Will Killingsworth of Orchid and Bucket Full of Teeth. Some nice DIY punkish hardcore.)


Cursed - Two (I heard their first record when I was around 16/17 years old and since then have consistently been saying, "This shit is so fucking heavy" with every release.)


Joy Division - Closer (in the last two or three years this album has forcefully made it's way to my top five of all time. Fuck you, I am a depressing person.)


Young Widows - Old Wounds (Everyone from Breather Resist minus the singer. Probably my favorite release of 2008. If you like The Jesus Lizard...)


Pusher - S/T (Steve Sindoni of Breather Resist fronts this short lived awesomeness with members of Lords and Coliseum.)
