Andria- La Dispute
Genre: Post Hardcore/Progressive Rock
Ah, angsty teen romance...
But, this isn't just any sad, whiny love song. First, you need to forget everything you know about "hardcore" music.The lyrics are quite beautiful. La Dispute is graced by the songwriting talents of lead singer Jordan Dreyer.
Take a look at the lyrics:
I breathed your name into the air; I etched your name into me.
I felt my anger swelling; I swam into it's sea.
I held your name inside my heart, but it got buried in my fear.
It tore the wiring of my brain; I did my best to keep it clear.
So, dear, no matter how we part, I hold you sweetly in my head.
And if I do not miss a part of you, a part of me is dead.
If I can't love you as a lover, I will love you as a friend.
And I will lay a bed before you; keep you safe until the end

And I will lay a bed before you; keep you safe until the end
The spoken word element of the song is very unique to the screamo world.Their sound even resonates distinctly with elements of bluegrass, also setting them apart from most metalcore bands. It does the lyrics justice, even though there is no strong backing melody. And I am a sucker for pretty words. On October 4, 2011, La Dispute released their second full-length album titled "Wildlife" on No Sleep Records. Also, check out the songs "Such Small Hands" and "Nobody, Not Even the Rain".
