Taiwanese experimental post-punk being made by some of Taiwan's most active underground musicians! Lead singer and guitarist Yoz had to quit as drummer for SUGAR PLUMB FERRY because of obligatory military service. When he got out, he found Graffiti and Lydia who were active in the electronica project VARO and collaborated to make a distinct punk sound through MODEST MOUSE influenced indie rock! Unfortunately the band broke up after 2 years, leaving just one amazing split CD!

Chasing Sparrow on Island of Sound
At one point, the only punk rock existing on Taiwan was pop punk. Fall of this Corner went against the grain and stuck out as one of Taiwan's few emo-core groups alongside Hindsight 20/20, another punk band thrashing out a similar style post-hardcore. Taking influence from the Refused, Fall of this Corner became Taiwan's first and only screamo band!

TRACK LIST:
FALL OF THIS CORNER PACIFICTION REVIEW:Two of Taiwan's only post-punk bands on one CD! Chasing Sparrow emits a more experimental, intricate take on indie punk with songs that seem to unexpectedly explode out of nowhere. Vividly complimented by the screaming emo-core songs of Fall of this Corner, this split marks a milestone in the history of Taiwanese punk rock. These bands attempted to bring the punk scene to places higher than the usual western-influenced pop punk and succeeded, even if only briefly. |
