Wrestling Moves (2010) Sargent House
Native’ s full-length, Wrestling Moves is, in a nutshell, challenging math rock tinged with post-hardcore in the vein of Fugazi. This album is full of wonderful musicianship, challenging and engaging lyrics, and a drummer that blows me away.
Native begin the record with “Backseat Crew”, a seriously jamming tune that begins with a creative drumbeat that only evolves into something more complex and refreshing. That is a good word to describe this band: refreshing, as this band is breathing new life into a dead variation of post-hardcore. The songs that this band compose evolve and rearrange with every passing second, gaining momentum or completely abandoning it; whatever it is, this band is something beautiful.
Next on the track listing is “Legoland”. The lyrics and bass of this song shine and it is definitely one of the album’s standout tracks, not to mention the longest, clocking in at just under five-and-a-half minutes. Bassist/vocalist Bobby Marcos exclaims with his sharp yelp, “This glass is a safe, holding my age. Rip off the fake nails and follow the tracks of a deer up ahead.” With this song, other gems like “Ponyboy” and the title track, Native sculpts passionate landscapes of sound that blow me away with every listen. They can only get better.
Native will be hitting the road starting May 5th for a month long tour with their good friends La Dispute , Defeater & Former Thieves. Along the way all the bands will also be playing KrazyFest and BledFest. Make sure to pick up tickets these shows are going to be sell outs for sure.

If like me you’ve been excitedly following the recently resurgent musical genre usually classified as “TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME” you’ll no doubt have heard the name or read the words Sargent House. The American independent label is home to such acts as The Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group, Fucking Hella, Russian Fucking Circles, RXFucking Bandits, This Fucking Town Needs Guns, B-Fucking-oris, Fang Fucking Island and one of their most recent signings? A little known Irish dreampop trio … I think they’re called the Adebisis or something like that.
But one of the biggest fucking deals on the Sargent House roster right now is Native (you may notice this write up/review is kind of laced with four letter words, but after you’ve gone and listened to Native’s back catalogue so far I think you’ll understand). Formed from the ashes of two other bands in Valparaiso, Indiana in 2007 the band quickly set about to writing some of the most ball-grabbingly brilliant songs to come out of the American punk underground; they’ve pretty much been on tour ever since. Boasting a median age that will send most other working bands into fits of frustration at their own lack of progress, the band have toured all over the United States and Canada and rumours are abounding of a UK (hopefully encompassing Ireland) and European tour this summer. Native’s blend of a beefy yet agile rhythm section, intricate but visceral guitar work and lyrics laced with expert wordsmanship calls to mind Dischord greats Q and Not U and FUGAZI, both of whom the band collectively count as major influences. One could go on and on about how great Native are, but instead I’m going to talk about how their music does the talking for them.
