'TODWM are pretty much three individual’s with three very dissimilar interests sonically, which combined, forms the crux of what we do. I would guess that post-rock & post-metal resonates with all the members of the band equally but this vehicle does however pose pitfalls in its limitations as far as genres go and how people perceive us, hence why our approach to music will always be for one of transformation in our restlessness.
We view music in the light of the fact that for every door or chapter that closes on us, another one opens up. Far from being naive or disillusioned by how this will end up, we are always following the mood and ambiance in the room and we respond accordingly.'
This is one tight band from Pretoria. After giving the recordings a listen, I find that i prefer them live.
The recordings are good but i don't feel the need to start a circle pit like i do at their shows.
It may be just me but their 2012 album, As The Dust Settles, has an element of melodic hardcore that
I feel at their gigs. The thought that 'i wouldn't be too shocked if they broke into a Hot Water Music cover...'. Then again it may be just me.
If you like bands like Baroness, It would be a good idea to give these guys a listen!
