Slowly but surely emerging out of the underground, Michigan’s La Dispute are one of the hottest new exports the the US is giving to us over here in Britain. Whilst on their first headline tour in the UK promoting their latest album ‘Wildlife’ and also on their first ever date in Manchester, we went along to catch the guys and their support acts Former Thieves and Cowards doing what they do best:

2011′s ‘Wildlife’ was a definite critical success for Michigan’s La Dispute, who since their inception have caused many waves in the post-hardcore scene of today, and ironically have even become part of a group of bands classed under “the wave”. With their UK promo tour in support of the album also bringing in the band’s first ever show in the city of Manchester, we went along to capture ‘Wildlife’ in its live form.

What a year 2011 has been for music for us here at DP! HQ. Acts have fallen, others have risen and some bands have overcame some of the most difficult obstacles of their career to produce what my be their best albums to date. Though it has been an awfully difficult challenge to pick our top 10 highlights from this year in terms of releases, we’ve managed to refine it down to these ones below. These 10 albums are the ones that have been rocking our socks off the most all year long, and if you haven’t done so yet we strongly urge you to get a copy of these RIGHT NOW!

To begin with, sorry for the terrible feature name. But, with Christmas less than a month away now, we thought we’d be merry and bring you merry songs full of merriment that will make you merry about Christmas. Of course, we won’t be putting your conventional year-in year-out tunes you hear all the time. Instead, a few more alternative originals and covers. Enjoy!

La Dispute have released ‘Wildlife’, the long-awaited follow up to their debut album, ‘Somewhere At The Bottom Of The River Between Vega And Altair’. The band hasn’t been quiet during the gap between the albums, and has released EPs every year since the debut’s release. La Dispute are notorious for releasing EPs – seven have been released so far – and each EP has shown the band’s tight sound and burgeoning potential. One of these EPs was most notably a split with fellow self-proclaimed ‘The Wave’ band, Touché Amoré, titled ‘Searching For A Pulse / The Worth Of The World’. For a lot of fans, this was a particularly strong EP, if not the strongest, and not just because Touché Amoré featured. The two tracks of La Dispute contained the barely restrained aggression and the melodic, tight music that fans had come to expect, but something was different. There was a more mature, fulfilling sound. The band had seemed to finally realise how good they were and it set up the release of a second album very nicely. Fans got excited. People who hadn’t heard of the band became interested in the intriguing sound of La Dispute.

Note: As only a few members of the site were able to review the festival weekend, we were sadly unable to cover every band performing throughout the day.
Extended to a full three-day weekend and being one of the only festivals to be hosted at a wild animal park, Hevy is most definitely a unique beast that’s growing from strength-to-strength year after year since its creation. With the final day now at hand and a main stage headline set from Four Year Strong to look forward to, it’s definitely a great way to end what’s undeniably a great weekend.

Not many music festivals are held at animal parks where you can visit the animals alongside seeing some of your favourite bands, but Hevy is certainly one that provides just that. Now with music spread across for a three day weekend, it’s better than ever before. We managed to catch a bunch of shots whilst there, and now on the final day of bands, we took advantage of great acts like While She Sleeps and More Than Life.
Featuring: Polar Bear Club, Touché Amoré, While She Sleeps, La Dispute, More Than Life and Defeater.
