Royalty In Exile

I took this from their myspace "At this point and time what is to be expected from "Royalty in Exile" is music with energy and passion with the infuence of a sound that most can only look back on. Formed early 07 with ex/current members of well known NYC's local band's, "RIE" proudly announces the addition of good friend Matt Matera (7 Angels 7 Plagues, Dead to Fall). Getting started is our main priority and we will be hard at work to make sure we start things off on the right foot, please be patient. A big THANK YOU to everyone supporting us and taking the time out to listen to the music we have up at the moment... you will be seeing us very soon!"

Let me just go ahead and say that this band is one of my favorite bands playing music right now and they capture the early 2000 sound perfectly. There aren't really any bands right now playing this style so I got really stoked when I found this band. They are a perfect mix of beautiful melody like 7A7P, older Hopesfall and the the metallic heavy sound of bands like Endthisday and PFC. As if this wasn't enough to make this band top of my list I found out Matt Matera from 7A7P is actually in this fucking band, so that being said just check out their demo it's perfect.

It Takes Courage/Just A Summer Romance demos

Here are the demos I promised earlier from JASR/ITC.

The It Takes Courage demo is incredible, probably the best band to ever come out of Woodstock, GA. I miss seeing these guys play and I miss this band more than any other band from here. As I stated earlier the members of this band now play in Irreversible and former members play in I Create and I think Sky the singer of Gray Ghost was in it for a brief period but I could be wrong.

Anyway here it is It Takes Courage-Demo

Here is the JASR demos as well, atleast two songs off this demo were re done when they changed their name to It Takes Courage and the recording quality is pretty bad but it still sounds amazing to me. I remember being super young getting stoked on these recordings and seeing these dudes play such fucking passion every show.

ENDTHISDAY LIVE VIDEO!

So I was going on my usual You Tube search for shit and I found these uploaded not too long ago!
Watching this makes me wish I could have seen this fucking band, if you haven't ever listened to Endthisday then stop reading my blog.

Atlanta locals(It Takes Courage/Just A Summer Romance)

Right now I only have time to post one song but I will be posting the entire Just A Summer Romance demo pretty soon. This band existed when I was in middle school and they were fucking popular around here. They later changed their name to It Takes Courage and recorded another demo(more like an EP) with re done songs and new songs. Members are now in Irreversible, That New Retro, I Create and other shit I'm sure.
I listen to their demo a pretty good bit still just because this band will always have a special place in my heart and they represent an amazing era of this scene.
They played incredibly passionate melodic hardcore with some metal riffs thrown in, they were in the style of 7A7p, Shai Hulud and older Hopesfall I would say but I would never limit them to just those bands. Listen to all of their shit when I post it and see for yourself!

Just A Summer Romance-Your Presence Fallen
This song's name was later changed to Heart Break On Repeat.

PS
I will be posting more locals soon!

Been a while.....

I haven't bothered posting on here in a while but I will start updating this very soon.
Since I last updated I managed to score an Undying hoodie(Whispered Lies Of Angels era), and I'm constantly on the lookout for merch and releases from different bands so if you have anything you want to get rid of then throw it my way.
