The musicianship and songwriting DGD has showcased throughout seven albums is immaculate and has pioneered the genre in a really positive direction. DGD creates such a beautiful, unique brand of post-hardcore that I think is completely in its own realm. The feeling I got from holding that album was kind of surreal, like somehow I knew this album was going to be very important in my life. I saw the DBM cover art and thought the name is interesting, so I snatched it up. Walking around the store, I decided to pick up an album based on the title and the cover art, basically just choosing albums at random.
I remember going into a local FYE and just wanting something new, something I’d never heard before. This album definitely got me started on the post-hardcore path that Eidola is on today.
Juturna literally saved my life, and since then I’ve pushed myself forward in music so that I can attempt to give that gift to other people.ĭance Gavin Dance – Downtown Battle Mountain I sat and cried for like an hour with that album on repeat until I put the gun away and vowed to take whatever steps I needed to rid myself of these thoughts. I was locked in a deeply personal struggle of whether or not to commit suicide when “House Of Leaves” came on my iPod. One night the suffering seemed so awful that I picked up a gun my dad kept in his closet and sat in on my lap. I remember going through a major depression stint when I was about 16 years old where I was cutting a lot and giving in to self-loathing. Juturna changed my life in so many ways and words cannot express the gratitude I feel toward this album. I have been a fan of Circa since I was 13, and I would argue that they have been one of the most influential bands to me in my writing and performing. Here are my top five albums that have truly shaped who I am as a singer and a songwriter. I listen to a wide array of music, all of which I believe has a substantial impact on how I write and perceive art. “5 albums that changed my life” by Andrew Wells You can also check out their music video for “The Great Deception” after the jump.

Seriously, go listen to Degeneraterra right now. They’re a bit cut from the same cloth as Dance Gavin Dance or A Lot Like Birds, but there’s more obvious Deftones and Tool influences if you listen hard enough. I know that’s a bit of a cold open and a rash statement, but I care not.
Eidola is one of the most unique and talented new bands I’ve heard in years.
