I'm So Bad with Goodbyes

South Jersey's A LONG WINTER arrived onto the hardcore scene with an extremely impressive 4 song demo entitled, Breathing Underwater; that demo only hinted at their profound ability to combine melody and metal. With the release of I'm So Bad With Goodbyes, A LONG WINTER have crafted some of the best melodic metallic hardcore these ears have ever heard. There is a serious emphasis on the concept of melody throughout the 8 compositions. Whether it be the stunning guitar work of Adam Staszewski and John Roth, or the angelic vocal delivery of drummer, Owen Staszewski, A LONG WINTER know how to catch listener's ears. Don't mistake A LONG WINTER for an "emo" band, as they equally divide themselves between melody and the METAL, this is HEAVY stuff through and through. Their sound is reminiscent to that of GRADE, HOPESFALL, POISON THE WELL and SENSEFIELD.
