Since La Dispute’s 2004 inception, the band’s urgent, often-ferocious brand of driving hardcore has garnered comparisons to Saetia, At The Drive-In and mewithoutYou while their live show has been known to light a fire under more than a few receptive audiences. However, on the its debut full-length, Somewhere At The Bottom Of The River…, there’s an unmistakably foreboding, almost hypnotic current pulsing through these twelve remarkable songs. It’s a captivating turn as La Dispute has always been more known for their frantic and frenzied brand of aural aggression than for any soul-searching composition or contemplative passage. Somewhere will undoubtedly change that perception.
