Architects: Hollow Crown

(Distort, 2009)


Discovery: This album came to me from Team Distort and friends. My buddy Adam is really into UK hardcore, and he first tipped me off to this band. With Distort releasing this album in Canada, I got to both listen to the record and see the band live when they toured with Misery Signals, Sights and Sounds and Dead and Divine. I like hardcore music with pretty singing over it.


Result: Architects are a great band to see in concert, given that this type of music lends itself to a very energetic and frantic live show. I don't listen to this album a ton, but find it most enjoyable while partying with friends or driving.

Stand-out Tracks: "Early Grave", "In Elegance", "Hollow Crown"
