Are there any fans of La Dispute around here? If so, here are some questions for you...?

Waddup, Ryan?

La Dispute are definitely one of the most interesting bands not only in modern post-hardcore, but also in the whole of music. Mixing post-rock, indie rock, spoken word, and experimental hardcore, they certainly have a sound completely their own. Love the band, shame Imissed them live last time they passed through. Friends pulled out, and they were playing with Title Fight and The Hotelier too. Ah well.

There was a time in my life when La Dispute and Title Fight really, really spoke to me. Probably the best experiences I've ever had with music were walking around an outside an empty middle school while my brother was out playing soccer (can't pay attention to sports for more than 5 seconds) contemplating life and death and letting their powerful lyrics seep through me. At the time, death was constantly on my mind. The thought of human mortality was terrifying. Those bands kinda helped me get over it. Life is what it is, and I'm fine with that.
