Stay Ahead Of The Weather is a Chicago-based troupe with members of Into It.Over It, Native and Castevet who got together to play some tunes along the lines of some of the best the Midwest had to offer in the 90ies. Think Braid, The Promise Ring and Piebald… roughly hemmed out melodies alongside harsh harmonies backed up by a whole lot of powerful rhythms do the trick just fine.

I like everything I heard on “We Better Get Goin’ If We’re Gonna” and the only flaw I could find is that 12 minutes isn’t enough. Here’s to hoping that their other projects don’t take up all of their time so that maybe a Stay Ahead Of The Weather full-length isn’t all that far off in the future.
