I really wish there was a studio recording/non-demo version of Piece by Piece by Piece. I adore this little album but I only discovered it back in the day because Piece by Piece was such a dope jam only for it not to be included on anything other than a 17 year old YT video.



Necro bump, but I've been in the mood to go back to some of the music I listened to in high school and re-evaluate whether stuff is as good as I remember. This album? Still holds up damn well. Something that hasn't? A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Sad.

I remember the songs they had put on their myspace page before releasing the followup to this were dope, and then they scrapped all of them



Made me real sad

Necro-bump, indeed.

I remember these guys and the mini press-drive "next big thing" too. They struck me as okay... the singer had a pretty decent voice, I recall. Never grabbed me, though.

holy shit what a bump



yeah there were quite a few uk metalcore bands that were hyped up as next big things before BMTH, Architects & Bury Tomorrow took the limelight



(shaped by fate, exit ten, johnny truant, just to name a few)



funnily enough shaped by fates wikipedia literally mentions that kerrang called them the next big thing in metalcore lol.

Speaks a lot to how influential MySpace was for bands and music fans during the early-mid aughts. Hype just naturally built around these lesser known bands when community reach was way more direct and word-of-mouth sort of dominated things. Looks like the singer went on to be a vocalist for Chekhov's Gun (not that one) but they only released a handful of songs before fading out too.

^ MySpace was a big deal, but labels and music magazines had a much bigger influence back then.

Every week there was a "next big thing" forced down your throat, till the notion bevlcame laughable (derpy NME come first to mind). One thing for the better about now, in the disseminated Internet and streaming era, this practice thankfully couldn't survive.

Very true. I was too broke for magazine subs so MySpace was the de facto place to discover new music. I remember just perusing various music label pages and seeing who was in their lineups or what release was getting pushed that week. Felt easier to curate rather than looking through a magazine chockablock with good bands and a shitload of noise.
