Again a lesser-known band. Sprewelled is a four-piece punk/post-hardcore band from Austin, Texas, US. They started playing together around winter 2011 and 'Thirteen Urgent Essays' is their full-length, which was released in July 2012. The influences section on their facebook contains bands like Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Queens Of The Stone Age, Primus and Drive Like Jehu, so if you like these bands, you should immediately check Sprewelled out!

Even if their debut LP is out for a couple of months, not so many people have heard of these guys. This 4-piece band from Austin released a really lo-fi punk record with some elements from modern screamo. Even if their lyrics sound desperate, their music is kind of uplifting and fast, most of the time. The fact that this album is self recorded/produces/mixed didn’t bother me at all because it seems like its supposed to be that way. Many guitar parts may remind you of some early ‘00s post-hardcore stuff. Finally you can see that a lot of work has been put in this record. The only negative part is that you probably won’t enjoy the whole record at once; it may have to take time to grow on you. Also, some of you may find disturbing the fact that they don’t play a specific music genre. I’m usually not a fan of fast music changes in the same lp, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. Also the 'How I Met Your Mother' samples are hilarious; that was the point, right?
