Sick emotional hardcore band. Excellent melodic part with real passion in the heavier parts. Defiantly worth a listen.

Castevet - Summer Fences

Chicago’s Castevet play some of the most seriously challenging beard-rock one can think of. The quartet have the gruff, typically No Idea-esque vocal roar down pat, but they’re not backing it up with the usual set of three chords doused in whiskey. There’s something lighter and more intricate backing that roar up, and that’s a juxtaposition that makes for a really unique sound.”
-Punknews.org

Castevet’s first full length “Summer Fences” was released on Count Your Lucky Stars records in June of 2009.

If you haven't heard of this band yet... you will. One of the most brilliant acts to come up. I think, its like Men as Trees meets Cap'n Jazz. Awesome post-rock, emo, and math rock parts. I'm so pumped just listing to this...

Cap'N Jazz-Analphabetapolothology

Short-lived but highly influential, Cap’n Jazz helped transform emo from a deeply underground punk subgenre into a more widely accepted subset of indie rock. Not terribly popular or well-known outside of the Midwest, Cap’n Jazz’s main contribution was stylistic. They helped shift midwest-emo’s always-elusive musical focus from post-hardcore prog-punk to an arty but more accessible punk-pop.
