Death Is Nothing To Us

Fiddlehead have been one of the best bands in recent years. Call it hardcore, call it adjacent. Doesn‘t matter, because they simply make awesome music. Death Is Nothing To Us is another really good album that Fiddlehead put out, but it had to grow on me a little bit. The album title is quite daring, but that has probably to do with age creeping up on me. 

Side note: I ordered that record directly from Run For Cover in the US. I rarely do so these days because shipping overseas is crazy, but every once in a while I will splurge the extra money if it‘s a band I really care about. The other reason I almost never order directly from the States is that the customs office has been much stricter the last few years, so on top of outrageous shipping costs, there‘s usually also customs fees. So, while all of that sucks, I knew what I was getting into when I ordered the record. What I didn‘t know was that the customs office would keep the record for about 2.5 months before they actually processed it and I finally received the record about 3 months after it was mailed.  

It was all worth it though, because I really like this variant. Also, I will always love a huge poster that comes with a record.

Fiddlehead

This 7" is somewhat unusual… When you see the bands the members of Fiddlehead played in, in combination with the label this record was released on, you probably wouldn't expect the kind of music you get to hear. Think the early to mid 90's, think Jawbreaker, think Seaweed, think a little Fugazi and you're getting close. Amazingly, it works (for me). Wouldn't mind seeing an LP one day. 700 copies on black vinyl. There are also 300 on clear vinyl apparently.
