All Astronauts

The Wayback Machine has preserved All Astronauts' hilariously grandiose bio on their original website, a cosmic bit of hype that definitely sets a large stage for the band while failing to provide basic information. Consequently, I don't know for certain where the band was from, but they were probably in the same area as their record label, Lookalive, in Winston-Salem, NC. Their sound is a cross between the quiet\loud dynamics of emo and propulsive, mathy indie rock, gliding all around these sounds and others from similar genres, including a little slowcore. There are many long passages that sound like the lead in to a screamo track, but are actually headed in a different direction. In some ways they remind me of twisty indie\emo fusion bands like Utah!, though All Astronauts have a much harder emo edge, showing more hardcore roots than you usually find in this sound.

The band's only release appears to be 2004's Navigation Songs. The only other song I know of is a live track that was once available through the band's website.
