In continuance with last week's "here's a greatly underrated early 2000s now-defunct post-hardcore band" feature, we present you with Long Island, NY's On The Might Of Princes. While many may already be aware of 2003's excellent Sirens, their sole effort for Revelation, the prior year's Where You Are And Where You Want To Be is nearly as solid, featuring a somewhat more traditionally-based screamo sound that wouldn't have been out of place on No Idea's roster in the late 90's despite seamlessly mixing in moments of folk, and at one point, dub. These would eventually become near-classic anthems on the local circuit, if only for two years as unfortunately, the band broke up in May 2004. If you like what you hear, it's definitely recommended you check out the album, though it may be out of print as Traffic Violation Records, the label responsible for the release, went under shortly after it was put out. Regardless, here's my favorite track off the album, as well as two others hosted courtesy of a fan tribute site put up earlier this year (if the latter two don't work, you can visit the Myspace page, which is where they're taken from):
On The Might Of Princes - "The Water Vs. The Anchor" On The Might Of Princes - "And The Hat Stays On" On The Might Of Princes - "13 Cheers For Beer And Bullshit"
