Chicago has been the breeding ground for early 90's post-hardcore/emocore notables in the past, citing progenitor acts such as Braid, The Promise Ring, and Kinsella-blooded projects Cap'n Jazz, and American Football.
A decade and a half after the fact, Castevet have given us an exceptional debut LP, Summer Fences, following a three-song demo titled I Know What a Lion Is. They're good. Quite good. Listening to the new album, one can almost hear the beard...the vocals sound very similar to Bear vs. Shark's Marc Paffi - harsh, throaty, rough, and desperate. Musically, they remind me a good deal of Cap'n Jazz, and even early Appleseed Cast during the album's more melodic instrumental moments.
The first track off the LP, "Between Berwyn and Bryn Mawr" live; the sound quality is terrible, but you get the idea:
