About The Gentle Act Incident, written by It's a trap.
Two of my biggest weaknesses: 1) well-played emo-pop and 2) songs that recall a certain (time and) place. "This city doesn't know me" could be about anywhere -- it's not specific at all -- but I find comfort in thinking that it's about The Gentle Act Incident's hometown of Göteborg. It's an age-old story, being lost in the urban wasteland, and one that I know well. I left, I'm much happier for it, but I do miss it. Spending last weekend in NYC for CMJ made me feel like a relapsed junkie. As for the emo-pop side of this, I hold all comers up to Jimmy Eat World's "Bleed American", a perfect example of emotional hardcore/pop music, and The Gentle Act Incident definitely swims in similar waters. The shadow of Sunny Day Real Estate is immediately apparently and further perusing of their influence list yields acts such as Last Days of April and Texas is the Reason; that seals the deal. There's no shame though, despite what you may think when you hear that 3-letter word, at least not in my world. I hear a bit of The Book of Daniel too, but that could also be geographical proximity rearing its head. Anyway, if you like hooky indierock, it all came from more or less the same place way back when. Draw lines, keep score, you'll figure it out. Besides, as I like to say, good music is good music and this is good music. Catchy melodies come in all sorts of packaging.
Hello! We recently opened a Big Cartel webstore to make orders easier. Low shipping prices : 1,50 euro per item for Belgium and 3 euro per item anywhere else!
ja.. jag saknar mitt göteborgsliv väldigt mycket. nu är det typ ett år sedan jag flyttade till gbg..känns konstigt. hoppas att jag kan komma tillbaka någon gång snart. jag tänkte åka dit nu i somras men det blev norrland istället.. men det var också fint det. fin ny band-bild förresten, togs den på Publik?
Hej dig, hoppas allt är bra! Nu ligger en ny låt av The Revival of Love and Music uppe på vår myspace. Det är en nyinspelning av "Souls of Love and Music" och den är laddad med en massa kärlek och energi. Så kom gärna in en stund och lyssna så blir vi glada.
i think you should DEFINETELY consider poland once more during this september tour. doesn't it sound like a great idea? and cool. and awesome. and brilliant. and please, come?
Hey the Gentle act incident!! We are so stoked for you to see the music video for our song "What I Do". So here it is! Please let us know what you think, and if you dig it you should help us blow it up by watching it as often as you can and telling everyone you know about it. Thanks so much -Mark, Jarrod, Rich, TJ
we are having problems deciding which song to become our new SINGLE... which of our songs do you like the best? please take your time and listen to our songs, and tell us which one you choose! :D
