Live Free or Don&#8217;t Tour 12&#8243;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Amidst the ocean of droney, post-rock, post-hardcore clones, there are only a couple bands that catch my attention.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a hard genre to accomplish that because the songs tend to bleed together, feedback overshadows the details, and I&#8217;m usually exhausted by the time I get through an album. <strong>City of Ships<\/strong> had me hooked from the beginning to the end of their vinyl-only release.\u00a0 The band crushes, no question about it.\u00a0 But, they aren&#8217;t just here to be the loudest, or the slowest, band; each song has its own personality.\u00a0 Some consist of eerie instrumental passages, that lead to more hardcore dirges, while other come across like a heavier <strong>Quicksand<\/strong>, which is never a bad thing.\u00a0 The vocals are pretty varied but always fit the songs.\u00a0 Fans of <strong>Jesu<\/strong>, <strong>Cult of Luna<\/strong>, and <strong>Isis<\/strong> should definitely invest their time and money in this release.&#8221;\u00a0 &#8211;
