Chicago based Oceans have released their debut full length album, Nothing Collapses on Copper Lung Records (Portland, OR). Go here to grab your copy for only $6! I’ve heard it, and it’s well worth a measly $6.
Oceans’ debut is a sprawling masterpiece that flexes a magnificent scope. After two self-released demos, the Chicago instrumental juggernaut has thrown down a massive gauntlet with an enthralling and monumental piece of post rock. Filtered through the influences of Midwestern indie / emo and indebted to DIY / punk rock values, Oceans are playing instrumental music with a deliberate, yet dynamic purpose. Most importantly, Nothing Collapses fuels an unmistakable heart and soul that takes your breath away, reminding you of why you fell in love with instrumental music in the first place. Sometimes it takes a band like Ocenas to come along and make other bands look themselves in the mirror. Nothing Collapses simply sets the bar higher. [Bear Trappr PR]

When Refused announced their breakup in 1998, it came shortly after the recording of their landmark The Shape of Punk to Come, citing that they did not want their art to become compromised. Once they issued their final manifesto, that was it. They were done, and their legacy remains over a decade later. [Quitting Time- Your Thoughts, by Anton Djamoos, AbsolutePunk]
Absolutepunk.net has a great discussion going on right now about why bands break up. Refused is one of those bands that I really wish put out some more records. However, I’m not sure they would have had the impact on music if they hadn’t broken up pre-maturely. These days, though, bands break up left and right. That was one of the reasons I stopped doing my music podcast, IndieUprising. I’d get all into a band, interview them and a week later they were done. It just got exhausting.
Head over the Absolutepunk.net and join the discussion!

This movie keeps looking better and better!
Plot Synopsis
An intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat. When a new sergeant, James, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge, by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. James behaves as if he’s indifferent to death. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James’ true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever. [BWR Public Relations]
