La Dispute was at the top of the "bands to tape in 2009" list alongside a certain three lettered band ending with a question mark. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity. I've seen a lot of amazing music this year but I can't recall anyone who would be able to surpass the heart and the engergy these guys bring. La Dispute formed in Grand Rapids, Michigan the summer of 2004. They're a young band but something tells me they will be around for a long time to come. You can score both LPs in CD & vinyl through No Sleep Records. Too bad they didn't have that hoodie at the merch table. This show was in support of The Fall of Troy and Thursday. Thanks to the band, John Harris and of course The Varsity for allowing this recording to happen. My friend cavis also deserves respect for the matrix assistance.

It's very likely that the Fall of Troy and Thursday sets are to follow. Please support all of the bands by picking up the official releases.
