The World Is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die // Two Inch Astronaut // For Everest // Blue Crime

The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die are an atmospheric emo / indie rock band from Willimantic, CT. The band was formed in 2009 and has undergone several lineup changes since its inception. TWIABP’s now 8 piece lineup writes the songs collaboratively and often on-the-spot with vocal duties shared by 5 members. The band’s sound is easily compared to second wave post-emo indie rock bands of the late 90s and early 2000s and their atmospheric moments are often tagged as “post-rock.” The band creates their dense textured sound with multi-layered and heavily effected guitars as well as synthesizer, strings, and trumpet.

for everest is not jazz rock, for everest is not john mayer, for everest is not a real band

Welcome to the world of Two Inch Astronaut. For their third full length, the Maryland punks tossed sound bites and screengrabs of their everyday lives into ten songs that brood and burst into ramshackle jams for their onstage alter egos. It’s as if the conversations en route to record with producer J. Robbins were captured and strewn across the jam sessions that came to be Personal Life. -Billboard

BLUE CRIME was born in an Amsterdam bunker. An experimental four-piece. A trip from the disarming to the wrenching. Did the wolf devour the moon? Stories unabridged and told on their forthcoming EP 'Tyr'.
