La Dispute - Rooms Of The House
"La Dispute have raised the bar of the post-hardcore genre...". La Dispute are known as a heavy and emotive post-hardcore band. You either scream your soul out along with them or dismiss them as being “too angst-y”. But with their third full-length album, Rooms Of The House, La Dispute have raised the bar of the post-hardcore genre, and in doing so have left very little room for criticism. Work for Rooms... began in the woodlands of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where the band retreated to a hidden cabin and formed their own creative nook, pouring themselves over writing the record. The solitude appears to have worked wonders for the group. Rooms Of The House begins as a story about a fictional couple. As the album proceeds it becomes a sweeping description about the history of common spaces and the history of sentimental objects. Essentially, the album is a narrative about the meaning of objects and places and how they are appropriated as relationships change and dissolves. They leave t

Onra Feature #16
From Issue #16 of Pilerats Magazine.. This excerpt has been taken from Issue #16 of Pilerats Magazine. To experience the full interactive feature download it HERE. Are you an artist that feels strongly about solo work and not into collobrations? Not really, I'm down for anything, over my seven official releases, three of them are collaborations. We've got old 7"'s of yours at our place, when your making a record, do you always try and deliver it in physical format? Yes, I like to see it coming out on physical format, it makes more sense this way. Does your music have a stronger audience outside of France, or are they feeling your stuff their too? Yes my audience is very worldwide spread, rather than just France. Which is a great thing, I'm proud it appeals to any kind of people all over the world. I would never trade this for more local support.  How was your last Australian tour, what was the highlight? Australia is always awesome, people are nice and it's usually packed. And now I h
