Agosto Espias - Know Your Tragedy 7inch/EP

Agosto Espias (August Spies) were a very short lived Hardcore band from the Inland Empire, California that played a very 90's sounding emo/punk influenced sound.

The band came together in late 2009 when vocalist Andrew teamed up with guitarist Kevan. They brought in friend Anthony on bass and Bryan on drums. Together they wrote and recorded a 4 song demo from which the 7inch is derived (the download includes all 4 songs).

After a few shows Anthony exited the band due to other band commitments and friend Matt entered on bass. Unfortunately, only a few more shows would be played in 2010. The band lost speed as Kevan moved away for school and members moved on with other endeavors.



Andrew, Anthony, & Matt can currently be found in the new band, Burn Your Life Down who have a 3-song demo out.

The download includes the complete demo. The 7inch is a one time pressing of 200 & can purchased from the newly relocated Glory Kid Ltd.

Burn Your Life Down - Demonstration

Hailing from Southern California (at least when this was recorded) & featuring members of numerous Inland Empire hardcore bands that have split up in the last few years, the band came together earlier in 2010 to write before recording this little three track demo late in the year at the ever active Earth Capital Studio.

Burn Your Life Down plays it fast and heavy, with a sound not dissimilar to northern California's defunct the Separation; but with a more compact sound and not quite so deafening. Make no mistake, Burn Your Life Down comes right at you and aims to hit you square on the head  and leave you with a mark. 3 songs in under 6 minutes = goal achieved.

Currently the band is scattered amongst the west coast with singer Andrew having recently relocated to Seattle, bassist Anthony in Portland, and the remainder of the band guitarist Romeo, guitarist (and sometimes bassist) Matthew, and drummer Alex all still in southern California. The band hopes to move forward in one capacity or another in the new year, so keep a lookout for new things & for now listen to the demo.
