La Dispute – Wildlife LP x2 (black / 2000)

‘Wildlife’ is the second album from LA Dispute. Released by No Sleep Records, Musically continuing on from where ‘Somewhere At The Bottom Of The River Between Vega And Altair’ left off, ‘Wildlife’ cements La Dispute as one of the better bands playing post-hardcore at the moment. The lyrical content is where La Dispute particularly shine. This time the focus is on personal loss and the anger and despair felt from watching your hometown decay.  A good example of this can be seen in the songs ‘King Park’ (a song about a boy killed in a gang shooting) and ‘Edward Benz, 27 Times’ (a song about a father and his schizophrenic son).

I’ve seen La Dispute play two out of three of their Australian tours and I’m beyond excited to get to see them play again at Fest 11 next month.

If you haven’t checked this band out, stop procrastinating and start listening.
