Rome Plow Records serves up another offering of under the radar music on this split 7". This time around we've got two bands that draw influence from the post-punk scene of the 90's.
Kids Explode hail from Germany and offer up one song, "A Romance in Alcohol." The music sounds like a mixture of guitar-driven indie rock like Minus the Bear and Fugazi and traditional screamo of the Gravity Records roster. The music is up-tempo and definitely had me in a good mood after listening to it. Dialogues, on the other band, call Virginia home and dish out two tracks. Both songs rock in a post-punk way inspired by the likes of At the Drive-In, well their In Casino/Out days.
Being the first time I've heard either of these bands, I found them to be enjoyable. Of the two, I found Kids Explode to be slightly more enjoyable. Definitely pick this up if you're looking for some new music from bands rooted in 90's post-punk/screamo.
