![[Listen/Download] Hermetic- Sunday Best](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4534959_lg.jpg)
by Nash Bussieres Vancouver's Hermetic is a really interesting band. With vocals that sound like they belong to something from the Arts and Crafts roster circa 2004 backed by mid 90s emo guitar and drum tones, the seem to borrow heavily from bands that haven existed for over a decade. Luckily, the bands they channel don't necessarily sound similar, so the end product is a surprising amalgam of poppy, energetic fun. Hermetic- Sunday Best
Vancouver's Hermetic specializes in grungy, '90s-influenced rock, but local boob Jay Arner (who, in the interest of full disclosure, is my bandmate ) gave the band's tune "Portlandish" a synth-heavy remake. It's a surprisingly natural fit, especially considering how far removed it sounds from the original. Portlandish (Jay Arner Remix) by Hermetic

Vancouver's Sightlines are fronted by Eric Axen of Hermetic and they are putting out a tape that's appropriately called Summer . Below is the opening track from said cassette, "The New Muses," a song that is loud and fast enough to be a punk song, but also contains a hint of classic '90s indie pop. The New Muses by Sightlines

Hermetic is Eric Axen (baritone guitar, lead vocals) and Bart Newman (drums, backup vocals). They draw inspiration from high-energy post-punk ( Minutemen , Fugazi , Mission of Burma ) and heartfelt 90s indie rock (think Jawbreaker , Inbreds , Plumtree , etc). Check out Hermetic's LP Release w/ Chung Antique + Movieland on May 4th... you can attend here on Facebook . Enjoy their tracks Revenge Comedy , and Curmudgeons Club from their new album " Civilized City " below. [...]
Hermetic is a two-piece Vancouver band comprised of drummer Bart Newman (there just aren't enough dudes named Bart anymore) and baritone guitarist Eric Axen. The pair pump out eleven slices of perky D.I.Y. post-punk on their new album Civilized City . The record comes out on April 24th, but you can a listen here: <a href=" http://hermetic.bandcamp.com/a lbum/civilized-city">Ci vilized City by Hermetic</a>
If we're being honest, most of the '90s should be stricken from the record with one of those Men In Black memory removal devices... including Men in Black . Cross Colors, Hypercolor, Chumbawamba and the Bronson Pinchot/Jonathon Lipnicki vehicle, Meego ? Just a few of the endless cultural failures we were forced to endure. What we can be proud of however, is the guitar rock that defined indie rock and college radio. Our anthems were gritty, loud, heartfelt and songs that sounded fantastic 20 years ago still sound great today. More importantly, unlike [...]
Vancouver's Hermetic are keeping the dream of '90s indie rock alive on their new self-released LP Civilized City. The punchy two-piece of baritone guitar player/vocalist Eric Axen and drummer Bart Newman fill the 11-song affair with loud-quiet-loud pop rock that brings to minds both the refined minimalism of the Inbreds and the punchier parts of Sebadoh's Bakesale on lively numbers "Sunday Best" and "You Can't Go Home Again." Tracks like "Nixon Song," meanwhile, get juiced up with rounds of "ba-ba-bas" and squelchy keyboards. You can stream the whole album below and pick it up [...]
